The day I was looking forward to had finally arrived: Basketball tryouts. I wasn’t the most talented‚ but I knew I could contribute to the team as a defensive stopper‚ using my size to my advantage. While the rest of the fellow middle schoolers struggled to hit layups and dribble the ball‚ I showed slightly more skill than everyone else. I made the B team that year as the team captain and leader. We didn’t win a game all season long‚ but that didn’t stop my love of the game; in fact‚ that is when

Today I am going to be talking about my 8th grade year when I had played basketball for the Dupree Tigers and how it had a big impact on me. This event had occurred last year and was a very fun experience for me which also brought me very close with everyone who was on the basketball team that year. Everyone who can’t play again this year will be missed and no one will be forgotten because of how much fun everyone had been on the team because there isn’t only just bragging rights‚ ability to dunk

I had tried out for one of the most elite club basketball teams in Wisconsin‚ Oshkosh Flight 14’s team. I think I clicked on that email about five-hundred times in anticipation while it loaded

“TIMEOUT!” It all came down to this. The seniors had been honored‚ tears were shed‚ and the fans were ecstatic! Our district rival‚ St. John of Plaquemine had the ball with just over two seconds on the clock. Our small forward‚ Dustin Blanchard‚ who also happened to be one of the two seniors honored that night‚ just drained what everyone had thought to be the game-winning lay-up. The noise was deafening as St. John’s Hayden Heminway stood to throw in what had to be a full court pass‚ a prayer to

It was a perfect day for me‚ I couldn’t think of anything that could ruin it. I made new friends when I made the basketball. Until I got home that day. As I walked into my house I noticed something strange. My father was home sitting on the couch and as fast as I could I tried to remember if I did anything bad I couldn’t remember the last bad thing I did at school‚ then a million more thoughts rushed through my head as I remembered the C on my report card. When my dad called me in a serious low

The Boom of the Basketball I have always love to play basketball. The swish when you make it just right‚and the boom of the basketball hitting the floor “are sounds I love”.

This was a playoff match against our arch rival Riverbank High‚ in what was a repeat of last years finals.

All of the sudden they went on a scoring run and our defense completely gave out‚ in just the two minutes before the half the score

In his hand sat a faded criminal orange basketball that he tossed from hand to hand as he approached the court on the other side of the field. Alvin wore a cloak of enthusiasm‚ as he walked up the brief flight of stairs up to the elevated court‚ looking for a vacant basketball hoop to practice on. He crossed the court’s faded white lines‚ now tainted with grime‚ passing other groups that were competitively
