Personal Narrative: The Best Basketball Team

So here I was with our basketball team; It was the second round of the playoffs and our team had a tough matchup against Antioch, they are just as good if not better than us. And the game had just started; myself, “the captain”, Josh, Murry, Blake, Andrew, “the starters” “we were going to win this game” is what we all said throughout the whole day before the game. And our team, Hermitage, we were not the best basketball team in the league by any means. In fact, we had the second worst record (Win to loss record) that season we only made it into the playoffs because our league needed the top eight teams in the league and we were the ninth but one team did not have enough players to play in the game. So we got in and we draw names out of a hat to decide who we play and we got the number seven team a.k.a. Antioch; so back to the game it was five minutes before tip-off and we were ready. And me being the captain I was leading the team with some warm-ups before the game …show more content…
Fast forward in the game to about five minutes into the game (we only have eight minute quarters)and the score was twelve to seventeen and we were winning. But, coach took out our starting line up (we were the only good players on the team and we were not even that good either) so we sit on the bench till about the end of the second quarter and the score was twenty-two to thirty-three. And we thought, oh, no we are not gonna win if we keep this up. And the coach only puts Josh and Blake in, but hey, I guess it was enough because the next thing you know we were tied up at halftime thirty-five to thirty-five and then we go back out on the court; we (the starting lineup) are back in the
