"Played in the most surreal game of my life tonight.
A lot of you can guess who I am but I came and played in my hometown tonight against the program I grew up dreaming of playing for.
I have been apart of Volquest for about 5 or 6 years and get on about 5 times a day LOL. I played in 3 state tournaments and I state championship game and this game was the most nervous I have ever been to play.
I am a die hard vol fan. I was that kid who would cry his eyes out every time UT lost in basketball or football. I have seen around 200 basketballs games in TBA and countless football games. It was a big deal for me to play on the court, I bleed Green but I also bleed Orange. I DVR every football game. It was engrained in my from a very very young age that Tennessee is the best of the best.
It was a joy to play on the same court as so many great players. Chris Lofton is my favorite athlete of all time and I and watched him hit so many big shots. I found myself trying to soak in the experience as much as possible. The weirdest thing was when Rocky Top played and I couldn't sing along (I'm not a WOOO guy for the record).
It was a great game and we came up a little short. We earned a lot of respect from Vol fans tonight. Most of you were very encouraging after the game. And it means a lot to me.
From a fellow Vol for life. I just wanted to say tonight was a night I will never forget.
Go Vols."
