A week ago, at about this time, we were tipping off in our state championship matchup against a great basketball team…it didn’t go our way.
But…this picture represents an achievement that our boys made off the court. While I so desperately wanted to win, watching our entire town, a whole community, our Ashville Family, come together to support our kids…it’s something I’ll remember forever.
What our boys and coaches did, what our head coach did, what our community did…is nothing short of amazing. There’s not enough space here for me to truly convey how I feel or what led to this achievement, but I felt like it needed to be said: Ashville is better for having these kids make it as far as they did.
As these memories ripen, as the pain and elation subsides, what’ll be left is legacy…a legacy not of one person, of one moment, but a legacy of a group of boys that did more for each other than anyone knows, than anyone could ever imagine. Their legacy will slowly devolve and become defined by a few cool pictures, a crazy story, and a red map, but it’ll always be greater than the sum of all of those things.
Tragedy, adversity, and love…those three words are what led the Ashville Bulldogs to the final game, and that’s what I’ll forever cherish and remember about this season.
Time flies, memories last. Love you, boys.
