Biggest Regret

My biggest regret would probably be not getting my high school softball team my senior year a first ever Regional Title. This regret does fit the "not" pattern. Not winning a Regional Title is probably my biggest regret because I truly believe it was something that the team could have accomplished. We had already won the first ever District Title in school history that year, so it was the first ever Regional Appearance for Hicksville. We started the Regional Semifinal game very well! We were making all the plays we needed to, and we were hitting the ball hard in the gaps. We were up 4-1 when lightning struck. We waited for about an hour and a half through lightning and rain to see if we could continue. Unfortunately we were not able to continue the rest of the game that day. We also could not call the game because it was only the bottom of the 3rd, with 2 outs, and we were the away team. Games have to have a total of 5 innings (or 4 and a half depending on who is home and winning) in before they are able to be called. Therefore, we had to come back the next day to finish the game. We decided (based on superstitions) that we would wear the same uniforms we had worn. 

We got back to Findlay High School (wear Regionals was held for Division 4) and started the game. During warm-ups were were listening to the boys game on the radio. Our baseball team had left earlier in the day for their Regional Semifinal game. They finished about the time we started and they won. We had said it was our turn, but saying that was different than doing it. When we came out flat, the roles were completely switched. We could not field the ball and make necessary plays, and they were hitting the gaps very well. We ended the season with a 5-4 loss in the first ever Regional Semifinal softball game Hicksville had been to. The main reason I regret this loss is because the team we played went on the the Regional Title game and killed the team they played. If we would have come out strong, We could have had a very strong chance of giving Hicksville Softball its first ever State appearance. 

Honestly, it is hard to turn this regret around and not feel regretful anymore, but I was satisfied at first. My initial goal for the year was to win the first ever District Title, and we achieved that goal. That would be the only way I would not feel regret for not winning the Regional Semifinal game. 

My regret does not necessarily relate to lies and deception, but other regrets could. This could happen through someone using lies and deceiving a loved one, then eventually losing them due to those lies and deception they put that person through. Another way would be if someone was under the influence of something and had sexual intercourse with another person, then regretted it in the morning. During the time of intoxication, there could have been lies said, and one person could have been deceiving the other to get them in bed. These are ways that regrets could relate to lies and deception.
