THE DEATH STAR

It’s now mid-December and the Panthers are 8-0. Gaby and I check the PSAL website daily. We share text messages about different teams. But really we were watching one team and one team only: the Cougars from South Bronx Prep.

“They scored 120 points last night.”

“Against whom?”

“Bronx Early College, 120–43.”

“Damn.” I had the same feeling when the Death Star blew up Alderaan.

“Let’s go see them. They play tomorrow night.”

“Then get some Ecuadorian food?”

“Ceviche de pescado?”

South Bronx Prep was not only destroying teams, they had developed their own scorched-planet policy, a particular strategy General Sherman or even Darth Vader would have been proud of. This was “shock and awe” basketball. The box scores were mind-blowing and unnerving. South Bronx Prep was clearly becoming my “bitterest foe.” I was impressed, annoyed, and scared.
