Hitting Back is a high school sports blog focusing on the classic student athletes of Berkeley Carro
The Berkeley Carroll School was the original influence for this page. I plan to return covering games and expand to the local high school scene.

"Pain" by Derek Felix aka DFlex The numbness starts slowly It comes on as time stands still Followed by palpitations And the feeling of weakness It doesn't seem to fade away Rather the hurt inside Becomes stronger until it can't be ignored Leaving you lonely for the day If only you could escape But the anxiety has taken over Your body and soul are hurting…...

"Somewhere" by Derek Felix aka DFlex Somewhere deep Lies another world Full of hope and peace Where dreams are real Instead of imagined A unique place That brightens our day Without the confusion Of misguided leadership That gets us nowhere It's another dimension Above heaven Beyond our comprehension You can see it If you just look closely Reach ahead And you'll be there Full of happy tears Where there are only cheers

It's been a week since I've posted on this blog. Partially due to hockey starting up. I've been pretty busy with the hockey blogI share with a good online friend. Between previews, predictions, game insight and columns, we've been moving along since the NHL returned. I still feel like I'm missing out on a chance to express my truest self to the select audience I have at Hitting Back....

Now Playing: Sometimes, I just feel like listening to throwback songs from the 90's that give me a different feeling than the one I have. You know. That emptiness of feeling like the world has come crashing down on you. It's like a place of eternal darkness that you can't escape. That's what I feel my life is currently like....

Okay. So, it didn't go the Giants way on Sunday night. Not with the evil rival Eagles deciding to pack it in and hand the Washington Football Team an ugly 20-14 win which gave them a 7-9 record that wrapped up the NFC Least. Following a well earned 23-19 home win over the hated Cowboys thanks to a big 20 point first half and a determined defense that wouldn't allow them to lose, the Giants improved to 6-10 and could only watch the silly nonsense that went on in Philadelphia....

It's the final day of the year. Day 365 is one to embrace and enjoy. We made it. As difficult as it's been, we all deserve a pat on the back and a deep breath of fresh air.

I'll bring in 2021 at our friend's and listen to his creative beats and fresh songs in the studio....
