Its a funny thing

It a funny thing that sometimes One Moment, One Act, One Instance can shape oneself and forever change who you are.

For many the day leading up to your High School Graduation, you are still viewed as a kid. 
But at that One Moment when you walk the stage......
that One Act of receiving your diploma on your hand.......
you are in One Instance automatically transformed into something more. 
One piece of paper lets everyone know you have arrived in the world. All that hard work, time and effort has paid off.

By all accounts, everyone that witnessed yesterdays Girls High School basketball game between Churchill and Reagan, were treated to one of the best non playoff games in San Antonio. And for sure they are many story lines that can come from a game like that. There was plenty of action, drama, suspense, revenge factor, comeback, highs, lows and a lot of  Leslie Vorpahl.

But on One crucial Moment of the game, freshman Mikki Flores was fouled with 16 seconds left with Churchill clinging to a one point lead. 
On One crucial Act of the game, she was sent to the line to shoot two free throws.
In One Instance, Mikki Flores is not a Freshman no more. 

No matter what happens tomorrow, the next day and in the future, in that One Moment, that One Act, in that One Instance, all that hard work, time and effort paid off.

Yes, Mikki Flores made both Free Throws.
