What is your personal best sports achievement in your life? Mine would have to be 13 year old AAU regional baseball tournament I threw a complete game shutout
(7 innings) on fifty something pitches allowing only 1 hit. I had a curve before most people. It wasn't so pretty in highschool when I had only an 80mph
fastball.

Free Style, Breast, and Butterfly with 'A' times when I was 14.
Although impressive, my crowning achievement took place at Saddle Creek. I was at a buddy's house late-nighting after getting back from the Square. A lot of people were out and yelling at some douchebag that was drunk and glow stick dancing on top of a camaro/mustang's hood. For some reason, we were throwing a football and my friend bet me that I couldn't hit the guy and make him fall off the car. Said douchebag was about 40 yards away and I threw a perfectly tight sprial that hit the guy in the back of the leg just above the knee, deadlegging him perfectly, and causing him to fall flat on his ass. Guy got up, tried to save what dignity he had left by flipping everyone off and yelling 'fuck you' repeatedly and slamming the door to his house multiple times to get his point across. |

Struck out a future Heisman candidate in intramural softball | #45 | ||

Last summer I struck out Jevan Snead in the summer mens' intramural league. We lost the game, but it was a bunch of the band and music majors playing the
football guys that were intown over the summer. We were scared that we would hurt Jevan as he was the pitcher for their team. Scared us everytime someone hit
a screamer back up the middle.

Andre Miller (Meridian, Auburn) - speared him twice after he made derogatory remarks about my athletic ability
Sleepy Robinson (Wingfield, MSU) - laughed after I tackled him Phillip Kent (M-R, Ole Miss) - blew his ass up one play and he proceeded to pound the shit out of me the rest of the game Greg Plump (Hattiesburg, MSU) - I held on for dear life as I attempted to sack him Marcus Pope (Hattiesburg, LSU) - launched me 5 yards in the air during a kick return Andre Bennett (MSU), David Knott (Ole Miss), Michael Elliot (Memphis), several JSU players - drilled them several times in practice, if that counts There are other D-1 players whose names I can't remember since this was 20 years ago. I got the best of none of them. And those are the highlights. |

It was raining outside so we were in the gym playing indoor (kiddie goal under each basket, inside 3 pt line is 1 point, outside is 2 pt, goalie can carry out
to the 3 pt line). I was in goal and we were down 2-1 and time was running low. Someone kicked a soft shot, which I scooped up, threw down, and started
dribbling up the court. Right before I made it to half court, I kicked and slid all at once and made the most perfect upper 90 shot right as the buzzer went
off.
I'd give anything to see that on video again. It was fucking awesome You just grab her by the hamhock and start dunking, then you take your two fingers and get a whiff |

Also threw a no-hitter in Little League the same year I had a league best seven homeruns. Pretty much downhill after that, although I did play JUCO ball.

My senior year of hs. Had an 8th one of about 50 yards called back because our QB blocked someone in the back about 20 yards behind me. Yeah, it was homecoming
and the other team was plain awful but I deserved not takin an ass raping for one game.
Runner up: Getting run down from behind by Bryan Brown like i was standing still. He closed a 20 yard gap in about 40 yards. I was possibly the worst open field runner of all time. |

I hit an 80 foot shot. It didn't count though as the ball was still in my hand at the buzzer.
It's not like I aimed it or anything. I just turned and threw. As I watched it, I said to my teammate next to me "That's on line" and sure enough, it went in (no backboard, just the back of the rim). I still tell people about it, although most don't believe me. If only someone would have gotten it on tape, I'd have been on Sportcenter. |

#1. After a golf league in Huntsville, AL several guys from work who had never played golf with me wanted me to play another nine for $20/$40 per hole. I
didnt want to and needed to get home. They talked shit, called me a cooter, etc. They really gave me a rash of shit in front of a lot of folks. I finally
gave in....and shot a 31. I won about $600 in 2 hours. When we completed the nine, I asked the entire group if they were in for a few more holes.
