Chapter 9

We won the game! WE WON THE GAME! Can you tell that I am excited? Well I am because my basketball team, the Saint Alexander's Cougars won a game. It was the first win of the whole season. Our record has now improved to 1-10. Not a great record, but at least there is finally something in the wins column.

Tonight the team we went against put up a great fight. The Drident Warriors played a hell of a game. They should be nothing, but proud of the way they played. They shot the ball well, rebounded, made free throws, and took care of the ball. We just played a better game then them that is all. They played good, we played great.

I ended up coming in off the bench, three minutes into the first quarter. My first shot came a few minutes later. The shot felt good, but it fell short. It was an air ball and the crowd started to chant “Air ball, air ball.” Our principle gave them a stare and they stopped.

Still, my knees felt wobbly, and every time I touched the ball I was anxious. It was from a combination of nerves, and adrenaline.

After the shot, I looked over to my coach and she told me to shake it off. I shook my head in agreement and got back on defense.

When the point guard brought the ball up the court, I called out her number. “She is all mine” I said.

The girl looked to be startled. Maybe she thought that I was out to get her, that I wanted to play dirty. Whatever the case, she was like a deer in the headlights.

Not letting the moment go to waste, I knocked the ball out of her hands and sprinted down the court. I went up for a right handed lay-up. The ball went through the hoop and the score adjusted to 12-8, bad guys.

It was very liberating to score my first basket. The moment it went in, I had the pressure of scoring off my shoulder. From that point on, I was relaxed and dialed in to the task at hand. Sprinting up and down the court, I got two more steals before the end of the second quarter. At half time, I had eight points, four rebounds, two assists, and three steals. The score was 30-26, with Drident holding a four point lead.

Going into the locker room, the girls were all excited. They told me that I was playing great and that we were going to win the game. The coach agreed and said that if we put forth all our effort these last sixteen minutes, we would come out on top. All we had to do was keep the ball movement going, make a few defensive stops, and we could pull out a win.

So we went back out and gave it our all. We made the extra pass, and boxed out on defense. We dove on the floor for every loose ball. We truly gave it our all.
