No matter what happens these next few days/weeks/months, I couldn't have asked for a better way to spend the last 10 years. It's been a pleasure telling your stories. I hope to add a few more chapters, at least.

Of the 500+ pictures I took today, this one is one of my favorites. These two men ARE Kirtland soccer. To see them celebrate together was pretty special. Make no mistake, it wasn't easy to develop 2 powerhouse programs in the shadow of the football program.

Parents, if you're getting a police escort away from a high school softball game (or any sport for that matter), you really need to re-evaluate your priorities. I love the passion. I love the support. But, that's it...draw the line there.

I've covered a lot of great teams/athletes but this trio has been rather remarkable. All 3 are playing in a 4th straight Final 4. Common traits: The coaches work as hard as the kids, the players are selfless and there has been widespread buy-in. #ALLIN isn't just a hashtag.

Tonight, I covered a 30-point game...could it have been worse? Probably. Coach played 15 different kids...JVs in the 4th quarter. He didn't tell them to hand the ball to the other team...they played hard. They didn't shoot 43 3-pointers. They weren't trying to set records.
