ball right when Brynn got there and Brynn started at the 3 point line.”We never practiced 3 pointers I thought”, Sydney questioned Brynn. “ We didn’t, but I did”, Brynn replied.

with the sport that was causing me so much frustration. I realized how amazing one team could be if we just had some more positive energy. So I poured everything I had to 9 of the most amazing girls in this school. Senior year. It is here. I don’t know for sure what is about to happen.
