The Alpha Wolf
In a wolf pack the dominant male is called the "alpha male." The term is sometimes applied to the human species too.
This weekend I again watched my son Ron play a couple of Basketball games. They were against the Lakeland College "Rustlers." The Rustlers have four of the top ten scorers in the league on their roster, including the top scorer who is way out in front.
In the first game Ron opened up the scoring with a three pointer and then a lay up. He continued to play well and made 21 points in all. However Ron's GPRC "Wolves" still lost this well fought game. But the highlight for me was seeing Ron receive the GPRC Player of the Game award. In my eyes Ron was the "Alpha Wolf" and I was his proud father.
In the second game Ron continued to play well but did not make as many points. However he did a lot of rebounding and set up a lot of baskets. Although the team lost and he was not choses as player of the game, he's still me "Alpha Male!"
