Pitching Pennies

Thinking back to the 7th grade at Spring Branch Junior High, I remembered some fun we had.  It was at the end of the school where we would wait for the doors to open around 8:30.  There was about a six foot square.  We would pitch coins in that area for the time before school.  The key was to get the coin as close to the wall as you could - but all you had to do was get closer than the others.  Two or more could play.  It was easy to see who won.  And the coins would bounce like a football - in all sorts of unexpected directions.

We thought that Mr. Steph might show up at any time, so there was usually a lookout.  We must have done a good job because we never got busted.
