EDITOR'S NOTE
#20 Sealtiel Bazoco doesn't count. He flunked out of both tennis and basketball and hardly helped the team in any way. I lobbied for him to not be in the picture.
The numbers aren't perfect. Tina did her best. She was really good. And she didn't take any crap, she was often found yelling at various members of the team.
The biggest stat is 139 for 312 on free throws for the season. That's 45 %. That's beyond awful! We would've won at least four more games if we could've made free throws.
We were a team. Custom team shorts that you can catch me wearing. We had team shoes, team socks. I tried to get everybody to wear a headband.
The best three months. I would really do anything to get another chance like that one.

You're always big on stats.
You're STILL wearing the shorts.
Guess headbands aren't cool except to you and Dudley.
Glad you had the opportunity to be on the team...things can be learned anywhere on a team, even from the end of the bench.
