in the beginning …
our driller state trip started right after graduation on thursday night around 9. all the coaches were there at 9 but no athletes.
remarkably, the first athlete to show up was isiah griggs who sang at the graduation. isiah is our sophomore high jumper who improved from 6′2 to 6′6 this season with help from coach alex (csub jumper).
slowly but surely the rest of the gang showed up. emanuel turner, brandon gooden and johnny norwood who had just graduated and now were heading to state.
we all piled into the vans and headed to cerritos and were in are hotel rooms by 1 am and tried to get some sleep before friday’s prelims.
