Back in the Day...
When I started high school, I moved from a different district and therefore I knew nobody at my new school. I had always been a big sports fan and was planning on playing sports throughout my high school career. I started out in football in August of 2002 not knowing a single person. Going through the one hundred plus degree heat with all of my teammates brought us all closer together and got people talking to eachother. We would talk after games about what happened and what we could do to improve during class and in the hallways. By talking to them, I started to branch out my connections and talk to other people until by my senior year, I knew and talked to, 90 percent of my senior class and a majority of underclassmen. So for me, football was the best thing to happen to me during high school.

I know what you're talking about with the moving thing and not knowing anyone. I didn't personally move, but my new best friend moved to my town her senior year. It was really hard for her, but band helped. I was the drum major so we became great friends by talking about all the stuff band nerds talk about!
Yeah moving sucks, I had to start 6th grade in a whole new state! And sports definitely help you branch out more. I met so many people through my Varsity basketball team, but with 2500 kids in my school, it would be hard to know 90% the student body!
