From a father's
perspective
A Basketball Journey comes to an end
By Greg Taylor
And just like that, it’s over. In a blink and without
apology, it’s over. That, my friends, is life and the world of High
School basketball. The game gives so much – enjoyment, excitement,
and achievement – and then it’s over. So during “the days after” the
Mount Pulaski High School boys basketball season ended – much sooner
than so many hoped it would – this hoops dad has some reflections,
memories and takeaways I don’t want to keep to myself.
