Examples of Robinson in a Sentence
Every time I put on this uniform, I think of Jackie Robinson.
Wake Forest : The Demon Deacons had lost four of five coming in, sitting a game ahead of last-place North Carolina in the ACC. Now The Demon Deacons have The Demon Deacons first wins against both Duke and UNC under The Demon Deacons sixth-year coach, both coming in the past month, with Krzyzewski saying Wake Forest was the team that was deserving of winning. I thought The Demon Deacons was The Demon Deacons, Manning said. FOUL TROUBLE Star freshman big man Vernon Carey Jr. had 10 points before becoming one of three Blue Devils to foul out. The list included Justin Robinson the son of retired NBA great David Robinson providing an unexpected lift with a season high six points and three blocks in 12 minutes. That included playing a steady final six minutes of a first half that saw Duke trail by 12 but rally to tie it at 39 on Tre Jones 3-pointer at the horn. Really Justin Robinson saved us or else we shouldve been down about 10 or 15 points.
I didn't even think I got it, i hit it and thought,' Oh, no !' It is a pretty cool feat. Just me and Frank Robinson to do that in a Reds uniform. That's awesome.
Willie paved the path for the rest of us. In that way he is a true builder of the game, if you look up the word' builder' there should be a picture of Willie. He is the Jackie Robinson of hockey.
Erik Robinson was fully intending to go back to Erik Robinson work, erik Robinson was n’t hiding.
