What sports did you play in high school?
I'm pretty sure that this was done before, but I really don't care.

I played basketball and sort of transitioned between a guard and forward.

I also played football, mainly as a defensive back, but also played some linebacker, receiver, running back/wingback, tight end, as well as punt returner a couple of times (which is some scary shit).

I played basketball my whole life and then when I got to high school I played my freshman year as a SF/PF but then I never went out for the team again, I was weak as shit and wanted to be good at football so I kinda gave it up so I could work out more. Kinda regret that now tho

I played football all four years, I started out as a Tight End/Linebacker but when I started getting stronger/gaining a little weight (Didn't really get fat or anything though..probably like 225) I got moved to offensive tackle/defensive end. I played varsity my junior and senior year but I didn't start a game til I was a senior. I started all 11 games senior year at offensive tackle tho, I played some guard my senior year as well. Nobody on our O-Line was really that big but we where quick and used to fuck kids up. Senior year was the greatest shit ever. I am gonna stop typing now though cuz I could write a book.

Baseball - Played JV freshman year and varsity 10th-12th. From about midway through sophomore year to the end I started basically every game in CF. I also pitched occasionally but I was kinda shit at that, they just used me in like 7-run games. I was a pretty damn good hitter/fielder though, was gonna go to Oregon St. but I got injured. Played against current ML outfielder Grady Sizemore

Basketball - JV 9th, 10th Varsity 10th, 11th, 12th. I played the point (no other choice, I'm 5'9" ), was the 6th man junior year but started every game senior year. I was a pretty bad scorer but in the top of the league in assists senior year.

Football for the first few years before i got dropped for a guy nowhere near as good as me, played right back or centre mid usually.

Basketball i played for 5 years, started for a couple towards the end, usually at PG, we didn't have stat takers cos the UK sucks but i remember me and a couple mates did tally our own and each others and i think i ended up with about 8ppg, 6apg and 4rpg or somethin, was always good for offensive bounds for some reason

In highschool I played basketball in grade 8 and 9 but never cared for it. I just played because I was "tall". More like, tall for my school. You're not going to win many championships with a 6'3'' centre who doesn't give two shits about the sport.

I played soccer as a defender/midfield all the way through.

I also played rugby for the 5 years. I was mainly second row and 8th man, but did end up playing every position other than hook. I loved 8th man and scrum half. I was also the kicker so one game I got about 25 points. Something yo dont' see too often is an 8th man who kicks so it was pretty cool picking up the ball out of the scrum and kicking it to the far side of the field so the winger could run onto it. My favourite play was if I got some room to run I'd pop it over the defender and run under to catch it for a try.

We had a guy on our team who played centre purely because he was kinda tall and naturally at my school being a good swimmer and competent footballer meant he'd be brilliant at basketball. His ball handling was sub-par, his passing very average and his offensive production laughable, i seriously reckon he launched 30 shots a game at one point and maybe average 10-12 ppg, fuckin shocking coaching He was also pretty shit defensively and crumbled as soon as a decent adversery was put infront of him

Soccer: JV 9-10, Varsity 11-12. Played every position except goalkeeper, but my primary position was midfield. Never played defensive positions til senior year, and I enjoyed playing Stopper a lot.

Indoor Track: 45 yd hurdles, 55m high hurdles, 300 yd dash, 400m, 600 yd, 800m, 4x300 yd relay, long jump, triple jump. The place where we ran meets every week had a track with wooden, banked corners so some of the races were in yd and others in meters. I did the hurdles in every meet, qualified for states junior and senior year, and I ran at least 1 or 2 of the other races every single meet.

Outdoor Track: 110m High Hurdles, 300m Hurdles, long jump, triple jump, 4x400m relay, 4x800m relay, 800m. Qualified for states in both hurdle events junior and senior year.

Football (The American kind, not that english shite...): PLayed on JV 7th-9th, and Varsity 10th-12th. Started every game from 11th grade on. Played a good bit as a sophmore too. Played Offensive Guard/Defensive end...mostly OL though. I was like 5'11" 210 or so, bout middle of the pack as far as size on the OL. Fastest though, so I was the pulling guard. Senior year we did really well, I won't go into any details though. Played against quite a few D1 athletes, and we didn't have any so I thought we did pretty well for ourselves.

Baseball: 9th I played on JV and a little on Varsity. 10th-12th on Varsity. Played third base and outfield. Mainly third though. Pretty good fielder. Good enough arm. Good enough hitter as well I guess. Batted fifth/sixth in the order most of the time. Batted in the mid .3's for most of my senior year.

Basketball: Played 7th-9th grade. Sixth man just about all the time. Scored more than most of the starters though, I didn't mind coming off the bench though. I loved basketball a lot more than I thought, which I realized when I had to give it up after frosh year. Coaches wanted me to focus on the other two (although I was better than half of the team...which had a losing record so I guess it's alright that I didn't play). I loved basketball though.

Weightlifting: 7th-12th. We have won like 10 state titles in a row, lol. Not recognized as a "sport" but we have weightlifting meets and stuff like that. I won a few trophies during those years.

Soccer: Played it when I was little, then I was informed that it didn't matter in the States so I dropped it. I enjoyed it though.

The End.

Basketball 7th-12th. I didn't play 11th grade year because i had a "real" girlfriend and decided to put that above what i loved playing. I was actually pretty good, seeing as my coach said i could have went to a school like NC State or Miami if i would have stayed on the grind. BUT thanks to pussy, i fell off and 12th grade year i was basically a 6th man. There were backstage politics though, but i'm not going to whine about it.

I'd never put a girl before my sports. I know I'm only 15 and I may not know what a "real" girlfriend is yet, but that is something I've always said and will always live by. If a girl made me choose between my rugby or her, then it'd be a no-brainer; rugby all the way.

Soccer was my thing, worked my way up from freshman to B-squad to junior varsity in junior year, but the politics of a new coach etc. I switched to cross country for my senior year. I was usually the sixth man on the JV team, running about 18:30 5K, which was pretty good for it being my only year doing it.

In the spring, my mom is big into tennis and so are some of my friends so I did that my freshman and sophomore years. After two years, I really didn't want to play in the offseason, which was the only way to improve in a sport like that, so I switched to track. Our varsity tennis team is one of the best in the state, state champs the last few years, but playing outside of varsity was just pain.

Our school is the most winning track team in Minnesota history, seven True Team State Championships, four individual-team State Championships, something like 30 conference championships or something. I was a sprinter as a junior, running a 24.4 in the 200 meters and 54.4 in the 400. Neither are great times, but for the first year they were solid. Besides the first meet or two, the True Team State and the Regional meet, I ran in all of the varsity meets. My senior year, our team didn't win any of the championship meets, but I got down to 51.3 in the 400 and did 2:04.4 in the 800. I ended up all-conference in the 4x800 and honorable mention in the 4x400. Our top time would have seeded us fifth in the individual state meet for the 4x4, but you have to win the region, which ours is traditionally the state's best, or else reach a qualifying standard, which is always rediculously hard. We missed out on the standard because our anchor had just run the open 800 less then a half hour before and another guy had run 5 hurdle races in the past two days.

Also, other people haven't mentioned this, but my school was 2000 students, so we were in the big-school division for every sport.

I played baseball all 4 years as a 1B/DH. I hit about .360 my senior year and hit a grand slam in the Sectional Tournament which we and sent us to state. We also won the region tournament, which was the first for our school in 25 years. It was amazing. We beat out county rivals in a close game and spent the night week in the spotlight: parades, police escort through town after the game, newspaper interviews, special luncheons. Then we lost at state, but we played in a minor league park that was breathtaking, and with 2 outs in the bottom of the 7th, I got a double to keep the going. I figured going out that way was better than playing in college, so I haven't played since. After that game though, I talked to a scout from the Phillies who said I had one of the sweetest left handed swings he'd ever seen, so that was cool.

Oh, and those 25 years my school went without winning a Regional Championship included 4 years played by a young pitcher you may know as current NL All-Star and one of the best pitchers in the league: Brandon Webb

I played Baseball and Basketball my whole life. Got to high school, benched for basketball. Played both freshmen and soph year, but then gave up because I was tired of it. (They went on to win back to back state championships.)

Baseball was retarded. Freshmen year, I didn't get any playing time because this one guy knew the coach so he would start him every game except when he pitched, which is when I got to play. That year I TORE UP summer league batting near .400 and then in fall league somewhere in .350. I try out for JV and they cut me. Suck my dick.
