When I played JV football we were beat 72-0 at Beaufort in 1980. For me in sports that was the worst I've ever been involved in.
A few years later as a rescue swimmer in the Coast Guard, I had an edge. I was able to accept situations as what they were, not how I wished it to be.
The teammates I rode home with from Beafort in a 35 mph bus,emerged as men who ended the 1981 season as Big 16 4A State Champs.
No matter the score play the game and life to full time.
