Rooting for a winning team

I have a distant memory of my high school football team (South Houston Trojans) being on a roll.

I wasn't in high school at the time, but my older sister was, and we all got swept up in the excitement of rooting for a team during a winning season.

That's what the community of Friendswood must be feeling right now as its high school baseball continues its winning streak.

The Mustangs are currently ranked first in the Houston area. I also know how it feels when your team enters the top ten, like Clear Lake baseball did this week.

That feeling you get when your team suddenly becomes a contender.

Sports to me is a collective experience. When you go to a game, it connects you to people that you wouldn't ordinarily have anything in common with.

Hi-fiving total strangers, booing in unison at the opponent, the thrill of winning and the soul crush of losing. In that moment, it feels like you're all in it together.

I love sports, especially when your team is winning.
