It might become a theme this week to post entries from Humphrey's high school Senior Scrapbook. This one probably wont make you laugh as much, but even Humphrey has multiple sides. These tidbits might even lead us to a better understanding of how he became an idol in Mid-Atlantic if not east of the Mississippi.
Senior Year
Easily the best of my four years in high school. I was not able to play football becuase my shoulder was lodged in the "wedge" for four months and then a regular sling for another. Since I could not play football I began to hang out with some other people and allowed me to do things outside of my comfort zone.
With nothing to do and bored beyond belief I just started hanging out up at school, before school was even in. There were orientations and all that good stuff going on daily and there were always people there. Melissa, Sarah, April and Courtney let me tag along with them and we started to hang out after school got out and we all went to homecoming together. (Yes, Humphrey and four co-eds.) I won king and we went as a group so I didn't really have a date so I had Ben and Benjamin put me on their shoulders for the escort part. It was a good time.
We would tailgate before football games from noon till game time. It was so much fun and I learned how to cook...no one died from my cooking. We won the Central Region title over Patrick Henry and went to states for the first time. I was the leader of the student section, "King of the Cage." After football season, I started to work out for baseball and continued physical therapy. PT is the most painful thing I have ever done. I hate it with a passion. I didn't get to play very much this year but it's OK. I am a captain and I like to think that I have taught the other guys some lessons and hopefully they don't take the game for granted.
