  Wrecking Ball - Race Friendship...

  The Montana writer Norman Maclean wrote, "In our family, there was no clear line between religion and fly fishing." Rick Bass, born and raised in Houston, knows that in Texas, there's no clear line between religion and football.In Wrecking Ball, award-winning writer Rick Bass chronicles three seasons on the field with the Texas Express, a semiprofessional team in the Dynamic Texas Football Association. Light-years from the NFL, it has nowhere near the pomp of college football nor even of Texas high-school football. Most players are in their twenties, but some are older. Every year a few get to try out for the college game; others get scholarship money and a shot at another life. But for most, this is their last chance.One hundred and fifty-five pounds and forty-five years past his playing career as a one-season walk-on at Utah State, Rick Bass came to Brenham to write about the Express. But with a disastrous season unfolding, Bass was induced to suit up and take the field. Suddenly the writer became part of the story in a tale reminiscent of George Plimpton and Paper Lion. Rick's experience on and off the field and his observations about the game, the injuries, the expectations and pleasures of comradery, the influence of the coach, and race, poverty, and religion on the field, are the unforgettable subjects of Wrecking Ball.

  PICKLEBALL FOR BEGINNERS - The...

  The racquet sport of pickleball is a hybrid game that borrows rules and strategies from tennis, badminton, and ping-pong. It is played on a court that is roughly the same size as a court used for badminton, although the net is a little bit shorter than the net used for tennis. A paddle and something called a wiffle ball, which is a lightweight plastic ball with holes, are required to play the game. 
  The objective of the game is to hit the ball over the net and place it in the opposing player's court while preventing them from returning it to your court. The players either compete against one another in a singles match or in a doubles match, taking turns serving and receiving the ball. The game is won by the first team to reach 11 points while maintaining a lead of at least two points. 
  Pickleball is a fun activity that can be played by persons of varying ages and levels of expertise. It is simple to pick up the fundamentals, and while it does provide a solid workout, it is not overly taxing on the body. Because it can be played either indoors or outdoors, it is an excellent choice for use throughout the entire year as a form of recreation. 
  Joel Pritchard and Bill Bell, are good friends that came up with the idea for the sport of pickleball in 1965. The two friends came up with pickleball while trying to think of a summertime game that would amuse their families. 
  The first version of the game was played on a badminton court with a net that had been reduced to a height of 36 inches, and the ball that was utilized was a plastic ball that had been perforated.
