I would hope you would support who we are. Not, who we are not. These six individuals have made a choice to work, a choice to sacrifice, to put themselves on the line 23 nights for the next 4 months, to represent you, this high school. That kind of commitment and effort deserves and demands your respect. This is your team.

Indiana Pacers Will Wear "Hoosiers" Hickory High Unis Next Year

There’s a reason one of the taglines for Paul Lukas’ UniWatch reads “For People Who Get It.”  The other, “The Obsessive Study of Athletics Aesthetics” tells you what the it is. For people who get it, this story is awesome.

Wrote this as part of my speech in Public Speaking, thought you guys might like it

It was a warm, sunny, evening at the Sunlife Stadium, April 2nd (2011) to be exact.  I was there to see the guy from my high school in Virginia play- 3rd baseman for the Mets, David Wright. I arrived early and took my 3rd row seat right behind 3rd base. I waited for the baseball players to come out and start practicing. David Wright came out, and my eyes were hooked on him. This was not the first time I had seen him- he spoke at Hickory Middle school when I was in 6th grade and also came to a few of the football games. I got as close to him as I could, right above the dugout, and waved around my Hickory High School gym shirt that read “HICKORY HIGH LOVES #5 DAVID WRIGHT” because I knew that would recognize it since he wore the same gym shirt when he went to school there. I waited to see if he would notice me. He did. After he was done practicing, he walked over to the dugout and threw me something. “What’s that, a tshirt?” I thought. Nope. Batting gloves. I got David Wright’s batting gloves, at my first major league baseball game ever. He also signed my tshirt. It was hard to pay attention to the rest of the game, considering the significance of what had just happened. But that night, the Mets beat the Marlins. And that was easily one of the best nights of my life, one that I will never forget.
