Ben Thomson, former multiple repeat batting contest champion of the world is now competing in the post season high school tennis championships.
You must know the story:
Cinderella story, relative unknown shrimp eater, now about to become the Washington State Singles Tennis Champ!
Calendar impaired (but because of this I DO get to park anywhere I want) Coach Cougan drove all the way out to Soundview field yesterday for the big football game and found the entire Soundview staff working diligently on preparing the field for TODAY"S game. Funny that the entire Soundview grounds crew resembled a bunch of 12 year olds playing a pick-up football game, but who am I to judge how Soundview gets their field ready for a big game.
Anyhow, seeings that I was close to the Thomson home, and as always optimistically wondering whether 10 lbs of shrimp, delivered to his doorstep might entice the future rival to Ichiro to come back to baseball, I gave the Thomson's a call and found that they were not home.
But I did discover that they were out at the UW watching Ben (Ballard High's freshman AND #1 Tennis player) play his first post-season match. Ben won the match in triple-dipple overtime and will continue on his quest for state supremacy.
Good luck Ben, we all know waaaaay better than to ever bet against you - we have scene it too many times.
In related news, Campbell Queen played another meaningless soccer game somewhere. Yes, that is right, he now plays a game in which you cannot use your hands.
