Melrose-Bishop Fenwick Photoessay*

We celebrate team sports because team play allows players to be part of an evolution bigger than themselves.  The community embraces not only the sport, but the character of the players.

I heard a story recently about a player who had tremendous excitement being part of the team, realizing fully that she wasn't going to see major court time. Not everyone will be happy not playing as much as they would like, and everyone gives the effort to improve and contribute. But this player worked hard just to make the team, and she and her family welcomes the chance to be part of something special.



"It's like having an oil well, and you pump out the oil during the day, and in the morning there's more oil in the ground." You never know from whence the next player will emerge.
