Basketball terminology

Ever since I could remember, there was always a sports game going on my TV. It could have been a soccer, basketball, baseball game, it didn’t matter. The thing that stood out to me the most, though was the fact that sporting events were so inherently different form everything else I knew. Not in the sense that sports were something that I didn’t know about, but sports brought people together of all backgrounds, races, ethnicities, etc… and I had never seen that before. All the institution that I…

The day I made it to varsity soccer Tryouts started at 6:30pm and ended around 8. My friend Miguel gave me a ride that last tryout. I remember being nervous because It was my last year I would be playing in high school and the only team I was able to play for was varsity. There was about 115 kids trying out, and 3 coaches looking for kids to play for them. The coaches were able to pick less than 22 players. There was a freshman team, junior team, and a varsity team.

I think The Absolutely True Story of a Part-Time Indian was the best book I read this year because it was funny and was are only book that was not sad this year. It had funny remarks in it like some from stuck in neutral it was also perverted. But it did make a point about how certain things happen during schools work from bullying to the different people in the school. It reminded me a lot of the movie the outsiders as well because Junior was born into being an indian but he made that not have…

Today was the day that I had been waiting for, for the entire year. It was something that made me practice and play almost every day just preparing for this, and I knew that victory was within my reach. Quickly changing into my ironed clothes, and eating a soggy bowl of cereal, I raced out into the cold, desolate driveway, waiting for my ride as snowflakes flew around me. Breathing in the cold air nervously, I made sure to have everything on me, as to not forget a thing. Pulling the items out of…

This final will have a huge impact on your future, it will determine what teams will offer you an opportunity to play in their teams as of next year and elevate your career to the next level.

This will be my second year competing at the varsity level for basketball, but gaining the ability to be a decent competitor at this level did not come with ease. My current success required endless amounts of hard work, determination, and the everlasting desire to become successful. Starting much earlier than most kids, I began playing basketball at the age of just four…

I was about ready to pass out from exhaustion, mainly because I had been running for the last five minutes at almost a full sprint and, to be honest, I never got higher than a B- in gym. I breathed a sigh of relief as I noticed a store with a door open, most of the buildings I’d passed were foreclosed and chained shut. Quickly I made a turn into the building and hurried to the second floor in an…
