After amateur fights we’d always go out for breakfast the next day before driving back to Tallahassee. This time, though, everybody lost so our coach was real mad. He just stopped at a store and got two packs of baloney and a loaf of bread. That’s what we ate in the van going home. It wasn’t funny then but it is now.
