I was an unlikely quarterback. It was my sophomore year and I was supposed to be the center. Our quarterback, however, was in band and was always gone. So, I stepped in... Sure, I can throw, but I'm slow and I don't always see the field perfectly. What I didn't know then was that I'd be playing quarterback and captaining each successive year, barring my year as a student missionary.
Now, after four years, it's over. After the game I was sitting down, taking a breather and realizing just how sore my legs were (I played both sides in a triple overtime game...) when I fully grasped that that was my last football game at Walla Walla University. I'm really going to miss it. A lot. So many memories. Winning B-League in 08-09. Playing with some of my best friends in the world. I am a blessed man.
Now I get to look forward to my last year of softball intramurals. It won't be the same though. I'll keep playing softball in city leagues post-college but I doubt I'll ever play quarterback again. It's over... I'm retired...
