College Review: The Poorest Showing

My poorest showing (head shaking moment) while at college was definitely the time when my all girl intramural team played the women’s soccer team in basketball. 

First let’s understand my team.  Only one player on our team had any real basketball experience and the rest of us were there with little basketball knowledge.  Not to mention that most of us were shorter. 

The women’s soccer team was just so intimidating.  They were fast, had great ball skills, and knew how to work together.  They knew how to exploit mismatches and could actually shoot (our team’s biggest scoring game was 12 points).

Needless to say, we didn’t have much of a chance, but the worst part was that it got physical.  They were pushing on us and we did out best to push back, but I don’t think I really affected anyone’s game.  Our team had enough and we were showing it, but one of our players went a bit further…she threw a fit. 

She threw the ball as hard as she could, yelled, and ran off.  I’ve never been more embarrassed in my life.  I was so embarrassed that I actually started laughing.  I tried to apologize for her behavior but in a way I’m glad someone did something because this game was completely unfair.  Looking back at it now, it still makes me laugh, but I also know that I’d rather not relive that moment.
