Tonight, when unearthing a tape of a prep sports radio report I'd done in 2006, I was glad that I'd written on the label, "good content; lots of names in highlights." I know that most sports reports are "here today, gone tomorrow" bulletins that aren't intended to stand the test of time. Still, I'm more inclined to listen to an old report of mine when I know there are lots of highlights. A list of old scores doesn't do much for me. Frequent highlights, however, remind me which players led their teams to victory and how certain teams pulled off come-from-behind wins.
While those games have no bearing on my life, it's nice to be reminded that just as I used to take pride in my high school bass-playing accomplishments, student athletes also had their own achievements to savor--achievements that went beyond just final scores.
