Basketball

2013 a nice and gorgeous day outside me, my brother, and his friends were all playing Basketball outside in front of my house. I decided to play Baseball because I was just getting bored of playing the same thing every time his friends came over, but that was a mistake.

I decided to grab a bat and told my brother’s…

team to watch this year in the NCAA tournament is the University of Connecticut Women’s Basketball team. Their perfect one hundred and eight game streak and four back to back national championships has earned them the title, Dynasty.

If you have never heard of this rule it basically states that any player wanting to go into the NBA must first complete one year of college.

One time that I have been really angry is when I lost my starting spot for basketball. Basketball was always my favorite sport and I was already struggling with shooting at the time so this was a really difficult thing for me to swallow. I have always been a very good shooter and everyone just expected me to make my shots. All of the plays for a three-point basket used to be ran to me, but I started missing more and more shots all year. Soon, some of my friends started making fun of me…

echoed through my head. It was the beginning of a chilly November, and the announcements for 8th-grade girls basketball starting up spread through the school like wildfire. I’ve always loved basketball, but never actually did it for school. The only sport I had been involved in was track, but…
