I actually won the 8th grade mix doubles badminton tournament in gym class

The PE teacher, who was also my football coach picked teams and instead of pairing me with one of the attractive girls I was paired with Jonnette an extremely plump girl with long flowing viking hair. He knew I wouldn't ***** or he would just make me run laps which he did way to many times. It turned out Jonnette was a virtual ballerina on the court with acute hand eye coordination. We reached the finals against our QB and high scoring forward on the girls basketball team. I remember our strategy in the final match. I whispered to Jonnette it is virtually impossible to hit that thing out of bounds so hit hard and deep and I will stay up front and clean up. It was very rewarding victory.
