I walk back to our bench after warm ups. My heart is racing as I look at the crowd, it seems like the stands are packed. I sit down as my fellow teammates form a tunnel for the starters to run through. Coach C. begins to list off the Creede starters. After he names the last Creede starter he announces, “Now put your hand together for your home Pirates!” the crowd breaks out in a mass hysteria. After this he says, “Freshman, number 12, Owen Voll!” Owen jolts up and sprints through the tunnel. The next thing Coach C. says is, “Freshman, number 23, Kurt Voll!” I jump up faster than a lighting bolt and run through the tunnel. I peel around the end of the tunnel and move towards the refs.

Without hesitation I receive the pass and take two steps and go for the right handed layup. Off the glass the ball falls in the hoop, the crowd erupts into cheer. I get a true feeling of amazement. I then run up the floor and point at Alex and he points back like the way Shaquille O’Neal did when got a smooth pass from Kobe Bryant. After a few more intense positions the end of the first half is here. I look up to the scoreboard and it reads Cotopaxi 24, Creede 28. We make our way to the locker room. There Brown tells us that we’re right there, we just need to keep our …show more content…
The energy in the gym spikes as we make our way back to our bench. I look out to the crowd and see all our fans yelling and cheering us on. This fills me with energy knowing we have so
