So.....WE WON!!!! My middle school basketball team played our rival middle school earlier to day, and WE WON!!! It was such a great game, and really intense. Both teams played really hard, but I personally think that we just had more skill and talent on our team. The score was tied in the first half at one point, and right then we all knew that we had to play our hearts out if we wanted to win. We came together as a team and wiped the floor with them!! Well maybe not, but we still our best game as a team thus far in the season. In the second half we gained the lead and played really tough defense. Once one of their top players fouled out in the fourth quarter we knew that we could hold them. I am not going to name names but a few of the girls on the other team were pretty pissed off that they lost. They wouldn't even say, "Good game," when we all high-fived each other at the end. A foul was called on this girl on the other team and she fell down during the play. My teammate tried to help her up and reached out her hand, but the girl brushed her off and nudged her on the way up in front of everyone!! I was like, "Seriously?" They definitely do not like to lose. In the last quarter Jay (who is on my team) made a three pointer with almost a minute to go and the score was 21-28. Right after that shot I shouted with joy because everyone knew that we had won. Everyone in that gym knew at that point that we would win. That was by far the highlight of my week thus far. My whole team worked so hard and pushed ourselves in order to succeed, and we did just that. The win felt so good because it was well deserved. We left everything that we had out there on the court, and it payed off. This is how i feel right now :D
