Game Faces off the Field

Did you ever notice how much fun people have using "sports lingo" in everyday life. Like when someone yells at the TV "awe come on" during a competive sporting event. Or the kids playing wrestle mania and announcing " in this corner". And how about "you gotta put your game face on" before stepping on to the field of battle!

It's very admirable when athletes display true sportsmanship on and off the field. Well, we got to personally experience a whole team with their true "game faces on" after last Saturdays softball game at Caravel Academy. Cape Henlopen's Varsity Softball Team, after playing a good game of ball, did another good thing. One by one, bags of shoes were taken off the back of their bus and placed into a pile, next to the field, for donating to Shoes 2 Share. They were trying to leave quietly when we asked them to hop back off the bus and put their "game faces on" one more time for a picture with the shoes they collected and brought for us.



So from Caravel and Shoes 2 Share, we say a big "way to go" and "that's outta here" to all the players & coaches of Cape Henlopen Varsity Softball Team for taking the time to make a difference in the lives of others. You definitely exemplified the sayings "We gave it our all" and "There's no I in team".

Have a great season playing ball!
