My Senior Night
Basketball has been a big part of my life since I was ten years old. In basketball, there are several challenges to face just like in life, full of war. Basketball is not just a sport for me, but a get away from all my emotions and stress. The moment I play basketball I find myself at peace, have a big relief from all my stress, and take all my anger out on the court. I have been the girl’s basketball captain since my junior year of high school until my senior year. My senior night basketball was the most amazing, unforgettable night ever. I was in my locker room saying a quick prayer with my hands together before the big game. After four years of basketball, I waited for this day with such enthusiasm and anxiety.

One of my teammates came into the locker room excitedly shouting to all the girls “ It 's time girls! Tonight is our night to glow!” I was devoted too, but devoted for the game. I ran out of the locker room with a smile from ear to ear. As I went into the hall, there were people in the hall wishing the team good luck for tonight 's game. The gym doors were open, and it was like walking into heaven but with the music pounding out loud with the lights flashing white and green. The moment I walked into the gym, I looked up to the crowd with my heart pounding almost pouring out because of the number of people present. I saw that one spotlight that was on my boyfriend in the front row seat with a poster made for me for motivation, waving at me. I felt my body get the chills and walked away with the biggest …show more content…
The game got more intense in the fourth quarter because the other team caught up and was two points behind us. Then, in the last 30 seconds, both teams ended up tied. Both coaches would always call a timeout and the game was more intense than ever. I was out on the court and as I waited for the ball to be dribbled. I looked up at the time as I felt every drip down my forehead. The bell rang “ ERRRRRRR!” it was the last thirty seconds of our last game. The other team played a strong defense and so did we, but the other team was too frustrated and started to play sloppy where they 'd lose the ball and my team would take it. The moment the clock hit ten seconds with a tied score everyone was rushing. But my team and I kept playing our plays properly, so on a take out this was our last chance for a shot. We played a play called “Kansas”. My teammates had to be prepared in the full court line up, so that when the ball was thrown, it looked like a skip ball till it reached me on the other side of the court to do a simple layup and score. My teammate called it “KANSAS!!” everyone hesitated into their places and furiously dodged the ball over to me. I held the ball nervously, with a girl defending me but I positioned my legs strong and jumped with aggressiveness to make a layup. The audience at that moment was very silent debating whether the shot would go in or
