Bam, your story about Shy reminds me so much of myself just a few years ago.

Except for me, it happened in our biggest rivals house, we just had beaten them in a hard fought match that went as far as you could go and I made the play that won the game for our team at the end. After our game we took some pictures with parents and for the papers and yadda yadda. It was the last game between our two teams as 'rivals' as they were changing classes and moving on. It was about half way through our season as well. When we had changed and collected our stuff and heading back through the gym to the buses it struck me just how important and how final a moment it was. At the time I had to assume that my playing days would end with my senior season as well, I never expected to get a chance to play at the next level.

I actually held up the buses for a few minutes as I had stopped in their gym thinking back to the many games I had played in their house over the years and the many memories I had that I would always take with me. I also had a mission to go out on top as sectional champions and as state champs. We ended our season with our schools first sectional title in any sport in 5 years, and ended up state runner ups, the best finish our school had ever achieved.

Like Shy I was lucky enough to have the chance to continue to play in college, but unlike Shy it wasn't D1 and it wasn't on a scholarship. Even so my opportunity was something I cherished and never considered an option to squander. I can only hope that Shy feels the same way and does everything he can to make the most of his experience at Syracuse.
