Why do you have that number on your jersey? Did dad wear it, brother, Jordan? Why do you pick that number?
I wore #25 for Jay Schiedler. I also wore #00 for a fellow player Phil Cox.
I wore 50 in high school because it was the longest jersey they had that would fit me.
#24 I don't think that there was really a reason. I remember a girl getting really ****ed at me because she had wanted it before but I didn't know it. Oh well.
I wear my number because it is a family tradition...
I wear mine because of a player on Knott Central's team last year that was really awsome. I know this is the boys forum but the person this so happens to be is Kasi Mullins-Galloway! #25 all the way.
#00 because of my dad and #45 because i watched Michael Jordan come back in this number.
#14. No reasons behind it. #23 was taken so I just got what was left and that was #14. Seems to be unlucky at Prestonsburg now. I tore an ACL with it, and Sean Leslie tried wearing it for a while after I graduated and he hurt his knee. Needless to say he changed his number to 33.
i was #6 jus because it was different
All through high school I wore #4 in baseball but it was because I looked up to the player who wore it before me and I wanted to be like him.
I was #2 at my school. Man those were the good days I always looked up to Moses Malone, but i played more like Larry Bird.

Why Do I Wear This Number?
I wear this jersey with this number 11
on my chest with pride.
You ask why of all numbers to choose from
on this one did i decide?
It came about not by chance or
a random jersey that was provided.
The choice came from emotion
I thought long ago had subsided.
It came from a special childhood friend
who I played alongside.
We laughed and played one on one
her never backing down or stepping aside.
Our telling secrets and easy companionship,
which in no one else we could confide.
She was a true warrior in every sense,
when they said she was too small she just laughed and took it in stride.
We had a special bond, with common goals,
the future looked bright til fate stepped inside.
My friend was taken for what reason only God can answer,
for the first time in my life I allowed myself to cry.
So as I wear her number I can feel her presence,
pushing me to be the best, to try my best,
to play the best and never let what you want be denied.
I know shes standing up there looking down with her shoes still untied,
her ponytail crooked,dribbling her basketball,
angel wings sparkling telling me to keep it up shes enjoying the ride.
