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.

When my dad called me in a serious low

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

As a girl‚ I learned not to adventure any place else other than this hoop because going beyond its faded lines on the concrete is an unknown world full of hazards and danger. And when I did cross these

the sports that I could‚ football‚ basketball‚ and baseball. Now I only do football‚ basketball‚ and track. I like baseball‚ I’m just not good at it. Fielding‚ throwing‚ and catching I can do‚ I just can’t hit‚ and I don’t want to be the one to get out when I have enough power to drill it out to center field‚ and then see the disappointment on my teammates faces. The only reason that I play football is that I get to hit people and I like the sport. I play basketball to stay in shape for football. Same

The vibration of the basketball hitting the ground is the best feeling the world. Light was shining through the humongous windows onto the worn out gym floor like a flash light.

My basketball team was awful and horrible combined into one word. Awfible? Well anyway‚ this game was leaning toward us this time. We were
