In the fall of my freshman year of high school, I tried out for the soccer team. After the first week, the coach told us what teams we were on. I had made varsity. Now, this would've been impressive for a freshman, except for a few factors; the girls soccer program at AHS had nearly been driven to extinction, which only left us with two returning players from the previous years, and anyone who could run a mile and a half in 12 minutes was easily able to make the cut.
