High school is important for teenagers and it is the same for Carlos. Carlos loves basketball and he wants to join the Brampton Thunder, which is his school's basketball team. Carlos has a best friend and his name is James. James and Carlos were best friends since Elementary school. Carlos faces many problems throughout high school such as bullying. Kevin is the school's bully and he is also the captain of the basketball team. He also doesn't like Carlos. This high school has lots of students and it is the best high school in Brampton. So that means it is very expensive to afford this school. Carlos’s family is very poor because they lost a lawsuit. They were suing someone for $500,000. Carlos has two brothers and two sisters. …show more content…
Carlos attempts to be nice to him because they have a chance to win the state championship. After 15 regular season games the Brampton Thunder had a 14-1 record and they made it to the finals. They were going against the Markham Ballers and they had the perfect season record. This team won the championship back to back. Carlos and his team trained for 1 week and game day was less than a day away. On game day Kevin and Tom were talking to each other and he said, “Kevin you should hurt Carlos by accident when you're playing”. Kevin replied with, “sure i’ll do it, only if we are winning by 10 points”. Kevin only said yes because he didn't like anything about Carlos. When the game started Kevin gave the team a lead of 7 points and it kept adding up until the 4th quarter. There was 2 minutes left and Carlos was taking free throws. Carlos made 1 free throw and on his second attempt Kevin ran to get the rebound and kicked him on the ankle. Carlos fell to the ground with pain and he looked at Kevin and said, “Why… did you do this”. After Carlos said that they called an ambulance and Carlos went to the hospital. The doctors said that he had a fractured ankle and it would take months to cure. He did receive some good news because he helped his team win the championship. Some NBA teams were scouting him during the state championship and his family are trying to see if he can get cured before the 2016 NBA

    Golden State Warrior Case Study

    As a longtime Golden State Warriors fanatic, I am ecstatic to see that the organization is offering members of Warrior Nation the opportunity to join the team as a part of its summer internship program. I was personally encouraged to apply by personal mentor and former 2013 summer Digital Marketing Intern, Mr. Benjamin Trinh. Over the past several years I have seen the Golden State Warriors, through a lot of hard work, grow from being the pride of Northern California into being the model organization in the league. It is this same diligence and passion which embodies who I am and pushes me to continuously grow as an individual. After speaking with Ben, I extensively reviewed the online application.…

    High School Sports Research Paper

    For a long time high schools have had sports teams and art programs and they started out with equal funding but over the years sports teams started receiving more funding while the arts clubs received less. Why do they give more funding to the sports teams, it might be that if you walk into a classroom there will likely be a lot of students talking about sports or athletes and only a few who are talking about a musical or art festival so, the school board might think that only a few students like the arts programs and everyone else like sports but, that's not true. There is a lot of pressure for boys to join the sports team because their father of brother want them to be just like them, so most boys will join the team and not actively participate so they are just wasting the schools money when it could be going to the art programs.…

    Case Study Of The Los Angeles Lakers

    Los Angeles Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak have recently intimated that the team needs a center to compensate for their lack of ceiling and a veteran point guard to provide backup minutes and guidance for their young spitfire duo of Jordan Clarkson and D’Angelo Russell, according to Basketball Insiders. Kupchak may have suddenly realized that there is only one full NBA season of experience between Clarkson and Russell and so both playmakers would need direction not only on the court but more importantly off it as well. As always, the expectations by the fans and media are high for the Lakers’ youthful backcourt and the management might have recognized the “extra care” that the two players need. While Kobe Bryant could provide the leadership…
