Practice was going terrible; bad passes and overall sloppy play. Probably one of the worst practices ever. Everyone was on the baseline and Coach Ruffner had the ball at mid-court when he gave it an underhanded, yet firm, toss into the visitors bleachers (this was in the old gym, the “pit”) which hit the front edge of a bleacher about half way up and then bounced all the way back across the gym and into the home bleachers.
We were both stunned at how p-o’d coach was as well as amazed at how far that ball bounced.
