My small moment

it was the playoffs at my summer camp. We were ready to take on our rivals. We were planning to keep our center the whole game not knowing that we would have to sub him out next game if we won. We all huddled in talking turns talking. I said "were going to win this right". I shouted. They all responded with "Yea". We controlled the tip off. I took the ball up court and looked for the open man.


I decided to pass to our center that shot and missed. I grabbed the rebound and put it back up. I walked back after hearing the crowd cheer. We were not paying attention and there point guard drove for two easy points. Then point guard for our team drove and took his signature corner deep two. He made it and we were back up 4 to 2. I was so exited.


They passed the ball around a lot but then finally looking for the open man who missed. Getting the rebound i passed it to our center that shot and got fouled. Making both shots we were up 6-2. Another bad shot by the other team led to two easy points by me. 8-2 with 2 min left.


Anxious he threw up a three and bricked it. We controlled the board and slowly took it up court. We passed to our center again who got fouled. He made both shots with 30 seconds left. We were winning 10 to 2. No chance of comeback. When the final buzzer sounded we won and advanced to the next round of the playoffs.


In the next round we were playing the overall first place seed. We were all ready to take them on. But we had one problem. We couldn't keep our center in. I had to play center. That didn't matter too much because I was used to playing center for half the season because we didn't have him until later and I was experienced

"WOW", i shouted as i watched Rajan Rondos no look behing his head pass to Kevin Garnett. " i can do that", i proclamed. I went outside took my ball and practiced. The first time i tryed it i chucked it so hard it rolled to the house across the street. A little less hard i thought to my self. The next time i hit my self with the ball. And the third time it was perfect, but the only problem was, there was no one to catch it. Practicing over and i finaly got it down. I tried the behing the back pass. Again it was to hard and it rolled in the street. Next time it was way to the side. The third time it was too light and it rolled back to me. The third time i got it right to the corner of the three point line. Perfect, but yet again no one to pass it to. Finally i wanted to try it in game. I called my friends over and we played 3 on 3. First posession was the no look pass. I drove and passed it behind my head to the en man. He made it and i was hyped. Next time it was behind the back. I drove passed it up top and it got cought by my teamate he shot the three and swooshed it. I think i got this i sayed to myself as we won 10-4

it was my turn up to bat. being almost hit less all season i was undetermined to help us in the first round of the play-offs. the coach gave me the signal to bunt so i did. i fouled it off. next pitch was a strike. 0-2 i was more unsure of what would happen next. my coach yet again the signal to bunt, so i nodded. the pitch came and i was already aiming for it. SMACK! sounded the bat and i was bolting to first. i hear the crowd erupt behind me and im safe at first with my 2nd RBI of the season. i bunted the ball right over to the left. The pitcher ran towards it and droped it. I was safe at first with my 2nd RBI of the season! We led 1-0. Another hit brought me and someone else home, and we had a 3-0 led!

Basketball Bash

I won the tip and passed it to the point guard. i thought it was a good sign. I posted up and called for the ball. They didn't pass it to me. I was at least 4 inches taller and I could shoot over him. Instead he drove and missed. They got the rebound drove and took a free through and banked it. Unsure what to do next our point guard drive and took is corner three and swished it. We were winning 3-2. I high fived him and shouted "this is OUR time". Next they took a three and made it, back down by two. 2 minutes left it was our ball. They finally passed it to me and I drove for a open layup. It was tied again. With little seconds left he drove for a layup fell down and hit it. We were losing by two in the start of the quarter. In the next quarter we were even more hyped that we could bring our center in, The biggest guy in the league. I leaned in and told him "don't hold back, even if were up by fifty, we have to show them we were meant to be here. They had the ball looked for a shot drove and with great defense from our center missed. I thought to myself there will be no stopping us. I slowly took the ball up court and instantly knew where to pass, in the post. With our center 5'7 and there's nearly 5'0. He shot got fouled and still made the shot. I thought to myself that we were going to win with this center. Making the free throw we were back up by one! I high fived him and now we were more ready than ever. But we weren't paying attention and there team shot a wide open three and banked it. We were back down by 2 with 2 min remaining. It was my turn. I let him bring the ball up court set the pick and pop play and was wide open for the easy 2. I swooshed and walked back in pride. I thought that i was like MJ, unstoppable. Tied once more they threw up a hesitation three and almost made it, but we had good enough D that we got fouled on the fast break and we made 1 out of two free throw shots. yelled "lets go", We were up by one with 2 minutes left we thought we made it to the finals but we didn't. They dribbled up court and i was there for the charge. He fell on top of me and they called a foul on ME! I complained to the ref until i got a warning. And focused on the game. They got the ball took a three and made it. The crowd erupted like lava and it was the final possession. I called timeout and the ref didn't let me. I yelled it again "TIMEOUT". They didn't let me. And as i was yelling at the ref we shot and air-balled the 3. I was mad because they ref didn't let me call my timeout because we couldn't win, but overall I had tons of fun.

One day i went to birmingham with cory to buy ice cream. After enjoying our delicious chocolate and vanilla ice cream we went to Kroger to bit something with our spare money. We had enough money to buy a cantaloupe. Cory stood in line while a video taped the whole thing. "Excuse me can i purchase this cantaloupe" asked cory. "Do you need my Kroger plus card number"? After giving her the money i stopped the video and took the cantaloupe. After we went back to cory's house to cut up the fruit and then We ate it. "That was probably the best cantaloupe I've ever tasted, just because we bought it are selves". Cory said. And that was the day me and cory bought a cantaloupe at Kroger

I was ready for my act. I was going to fake teach people how to play guitar. I was going to start with the acoustic then i would do the electric. I was horrible but of course on purpose. I didn't know how to play. After the acoustic. On to the electric. I though for the first a first time i did pretty good. Later a asked them all to smack there hands on the table to be the percussion. Pretty soon we were making a rock song. After. My time was up i had to put it away. I had a really fun time playing guitar.
