I think this was during Marcus' freshman or sophomore year at Tabor. Marcus and some of his friends entered a dodge ball contest. It was fun watching this for the first time. I try to film all of the activities our boys do. Most of the time we never watch them again until much later. Seeing these moments on video almost feel like seeing something new about Marcus.
I think one of the most saddest thing about losing a loved one is the fact that you will never see anything new about them again.
I believe that is why supposed mediums or channellers are so popular. People like me get so desperate for a connection or a "conversation" to their loved one, that they can be easily victimized by con-men or charlatans.
The Tabor boys won over the crowd. They did so by not crushing their obviously out-matched opponents. There was a squad of girls that were maybe high school or maybe even junior high aged, called The Pink Ladies. The Tabor boys beat them by catching the balls thrown at them instead of trying to hit the girls. They would even roll the balls back at the girls. It was hilarious. Of course the Tabor boys would feint throwing the balls and the girls will shriek in fright. That match had the gym laughing out loud. These were the same girls cheering the loudest as Tabor played Sterling college for the championship of the event. Even though Tabor lost, everyone still had a blast. *Quick side note - Tabor beat Sterling on the football field that year.*
Another thing to not is that the Tabor boys wore their "Band of Brothers" shirts. That was a theme these boys really adhere to even now.

Here are those moments in four parts.
Part One
Part Two
Part Three
Part four - take note at around 10:25ish minutes when Marcus is the last man standing against Sterling College and the gymnasium started cheering him on screaming "Marcus, Marcus, Marcus!"
