March Madness

For as long as I can remember, I have always liked basketball.                                                                                                                                                                                                         I even made the team when I was in the  8th grade and rather small.                                                                    

Why, I liked the NBA until there were too many games and the competition disappeared. Perhaps I'd love it again if fewer teams made the playoffs and 
unpredictability reappeared. Until then, I'll enjoy the college kids of the     
NCAA and the fever known as March Madness. Whether your team is 
seeded number 16 or number 1, you've got one shot to be the best. One 
team matched against another and it's 'One and done', or lose just one and 
go home. Or, you can keep winning and climb the ladder to cut the net for   yourself and your team alone.                                                                    

You could even reach The Final Four as an eleven seed, which is why March Madness is a thrill. And your name does not have to be Duke, Kentucky, or North Carolina to be still playing in April.
