Manny Ramirez
Absolutely bludgeons a 2-out, 3 run, walk-off HR off the Angels’ Francisco Rodriguez in the bottom of the 9th to give the Red Sox a (6-3) win
“Almost 1:00am and nobody has left”
Derrick White is on pace to be the only player in NBA playoffs history to record 50/40/90 shooting splits (FG%/3P%/FT%) with 100+ 3PA in a single postseason.
In terms of 3PA, the next-closest is Kevin Durant in 2019 (80 3PA).
Derrick White’s humble response to being the center of attention after the game-winner: “It’s going to be a little crazy. My phone is already blowing up. But I’ll get home tomorrow, play with Hendrix. I’m sure he won’t look at me any differently, so that’ll be cool.”
Derrick White didn’t have a single Division 1 offer out of high school.
Played 3 years at D-2 Colorado-Colorado Springs and then transferred to Colorado.
Great teammates give each other lots of fist bumps and high fives whether they are winning or losing. These small acts can make a big difference in a team’s confidence and chemistry.
If students aren’t getting enough physical activity, unstructured play, & recess, don’t blame them when they get restless, fidgety, & can’t focus in class. Children need to move! Physical activity and play, enhances focus, self regulation of emotions, & academic performance.
After you make a mistake in a game, remember that there's nothing you can do to undo it, so you might as well forget about it, stay positive, and focus on the next play!
Players getting subbed out and immediately walking to the end of the bench without acknowledging coaches and/or teammates is one of the worst looks you could have
The time honored tradition of @ibew103 Journeymen vs Apprentices was once again on display at the Bruins Warrior Ice Arena & the Track at New Balance. The apprentices won Big in Hoops 🏀 and the Journeymen beat up on them in Hockey 🏒 #LetsGetToWork#PoweringBoston#WePlugYouIn🔌
Where education misses the mark is that while reading and math are important, they aren't sufficient. The Arts, music, physical education, etc., are every bit as important!
Hard work paying off! Finished with the second best single season point total in the school’s 90 year history while helping team to another postseason appearance! Big future ahead @zach_taylor31!
