Race After Practice

Well we've managed to have a good week of practice despite the crappy weather. As I mentioned in the previous blog, our team was in good spirits at the beginning of the week, and it carried over into Monday night's practice when we all stayed on the field for an extra few minutes to settle the dispute as to who is the fastest player on our team. Corey Watson and Sanchez Deschamps were arguing that each could out-run the other, so naturally, they had to race. Some of the defensive guys felt like we needed a representative in the competition, so we nominated Devaughn Harper to step up. 

So the three of them set up on the goalline to run the 40 yard dash, and they all stripped down to their Reebok tights to try and reduce wind resistance (serious bragging rights were on the line).  The rest of the team was lined up on either side of the hashmark, and everyone was cheering for one of the guys; I don't know how many actual bets were made, but some of the guys were really getting into it. Then, once the runners were ready, we had to call them back twice due to false starts. We finally got an even start and Sanchez had a quick jump on Watson and Harper. The two traillers almost caught up once they got to full stride, but Sanchez pulled away in the last 10 yards, separating himself from Harper by about 2 yards. 

So I guess Sanchez is the fastest Stinger on our team. Perhaps the smartest though is Watson, as because just before we 'broke it down', someone yelled out that he had bet on Sanchez.
