Last Friday night was the season opener for the boys in blue. Let's just get it out now...they were scrappy! They are not looking like the champions from March! But, this fan will hang in there until the end and pray that they improve...mostly because my voice can't handle a season of last Friday night!
Thing thing that was most amazing was the surprise performance from Polson! Polson graduated from West Jessamine High School (Where hubs works) two years ago. His dad owns the place where we get our oil changed. He went to UK as a walk on and expected "no" real playing time, but last Friday night he shocked out socks off!
The boys got off to a rough start. We had a player with flu like symptoms, and they just weren't communicating anything! So coach Cal did what any coach would do...he put Polson in.
I almost died!
Polson? really? POLSON?
Wait! What's that? Polson is leading the team? Polson stole the ball? Polson is calling the shots? Polson just rebounded the ball? Polson has been in most of the first half? WHAT?
He played the game of his life!
Hubs and I always joke about "putting Polson in" when the the cats are down, but tonight Polson is starting in the game against Duke! I know I've never met the kid, but I can't help but be "hometown proud"!
So here's to a hopeful win! Here's to a less scrappy team! Here's to my boys in blue!
