My teammates were Aiden, Micah, Isaiah, Sammy, Richard and me. My dad, the coach, was there too. The girls basketball team was practicing too. The girls basketball players were Lily, Alyssa, Harper, Rae, Aubrey, Layla. We split the court in half.…
I grabbed some water and then started cheering on my team. We were all up against the fence screaming louder than ever before. It was a scorching night or at least that was what it felt like. I started getting slightly light headed but me being an eleven-year-old competitive person, did not care. I turned to the line up to see when I was up and our team mom, Ms. Cindy, stared at me.…
I made another one!” Tears begin to flow...a superstar has been born. The game of basketball has its stages and with each stage comes more and more hard work. From being a little kid showing your ‘mommy’ and ‘daddy’ that you can shoot a ball, to swallowing nervous energy while waiting in line to see if you made the middle and high school basketball team, to reviewing the many colleges that have sent recruitment letters to finally, ending up in a league paying you to…
Championship Game 7th grade basketball we won all of our games except against Andover Central and Augusta, which we should of beat Andover Central, but Augusta all of us were sick and wasn't feeling good so that game didn't go well, it was still a close game though. We ended the season with a loss to Derby in the championship game, it was a dumb game but we should of won. Earlier that year we beat Derby both times and we destroyed them both times. We played Hutchinson and killed them so bad we beat them by like 30 points. We kill or beat all the other teams so bad like they were gonna die after we were done playing with them.…
Let me tell you that there’s no better feeling than your hands hitting that freshly waxed hard gym floor. When it was time to tumble at basketball games and everyone else was complaining, I gladly went out there and tumbled. On March 5th, 2015 I tore my meniscus right there on Bosse’s floor. I couldn’t do anything but lay there and cry! I had to be carried off the floor.…
There was a basketball yard front of my house, she always came over and played with me. At first, we just played for fun and exercising. I never knew that she was that good at basketball. She was fast and smooth in passing the ball. I told her to sign up for the basketball club in school.…
Hailey got the ball and heaved it towards Nick and he couldn’t catch the ball and he got mad and threw the ball with all his force onto the ground. Mrs. Stratton threw him out the game and she was the sub for the rest of the game. Tyler quickly got the ball and threw it to Mrs. Stratton and she slammed the ball from a corner shot and totally fooled the green team and the hole red team shouted “ Great job Mrs. Stratton”. The green team got the ball and Austin chucked it to Eric and Eric faked it to Sara and even some of the green team got fooled and then Eric lightly threw it on the rebounder and scored the tying point. Sara Hein got the ball and the hole green team said “ SHOOT”.…
A Wayne County defender reached in to slap the ball, and ended up fouling. This was our chance to run our play that we practiced so much on. I screamed out the play and encouraged the girls to run it right. The referee handed Kiara the ball, and she slapped it letting us know to go. We broke out in different directions.…
I was extremely excited too, because that meant that I don’t have to go to parks all the time just to play basketball for fifteen minutes. After about an hour of hard work I took a minute to look at the basketball and I thought “This looks like an NBA basketball! !” because it looked so professional. I was amazed by the beauty of the basketball’s structure that I was already day dreaming of playing with it and “SWISSSH” hearing the mellow sound of the basketball going smoothly through the net. I dreamed of playing there for hours and working on anything possible to…
Before I was even born it seemed it was in my destiny to be a basketball player. My mom won a high school state championship and was some kind of legend in town. When she first signed me up to play in our town rec league, all of the men who ran the league couldn’t believe she didn’t sign up to coach. One of the guys at the table then turned to me and told me he was there when my mom scored the winning basket at the Boston Garden to take the team to the state championship game. When we got home later that night I asked my mom about that game.…
