I couldn't decide which best exemplified the glory of my youth so I chose one from each sport

Baseball
Little League State Championships, we win we get to move on to the Regionals and perhaps almost as important, we secured our Taco Bell sponsor which meant free Taco Bell food for the duration of the tourney. Bottom of the final inning, we're up by one with the top of the other team's order up and men on second and third. I get called in to pitch because obviously I'm a sick lefty pitcher. I then went on to strike out the next three batters in a total of 10 pitches (damn that one foul ball). The team charged the mound, and later that night we dined on more Taco Bell than you can imagine.

Soccer

Invitational tourney. The team I am on is of people only from my town, organized by one of the kid's fathers that played pro in Ireland or something for a while, really intense coach. All the other teams were club teams, the kind that have people from all over the state and people are paying like like 10k for their kids to be on them. We paid $50 for jerseys and the tourney fee.

Anyway, we are in the championship and down by 1 into the stoppage time. We get a corner kick and know this is our last chance. We pull the goalie up to kick the corner kick, so this really is it. He bends it right at the back post, I push one kid out of the way just in time to dive and head it in to the back of the net. We then went on to win it in a shootout (I scored on mine, but not as dramatic as the tying goal.)


Basketball

Again, like twelve years old in the championship. Game had been close the whole time, other team is down by one with like twelve seconds left. We move it up the court and while they're trying to foul, our PG dribbles it off his knee right to one of their guys. 8 seconds left. They had been pressing so they had tons of guys down the court, so the kid who got the loose ball passes it up to them, and they basically have a 3 on 0 breakaway, down by 1 pt. 4 seconds left. I sprint as fast as I've ever run down the court, and just as the kid slows to take the layup I foul the absolute [censored] out of him. He missed both free throws. We won the championship. lol.
