Basketball

My First 3 Pointer

At my game against Marble Falls I had my first 3 pointer. It was a very exciting moment for me and my family, my parents were very proud of me. On my basketball team, I play down low by the basketball hoop, but since we were beating the team so badly, my coach said I could move out to the 3 point line. My teammate Grayson was dribbling down the court and found me open in the corner. I received the pass from him in the corner and stepped up to shoot. Swish! My team goes crazy and cheer for me. I run down the court with my fists in the air pumping. That was a moment I will not forget in a very long time.

Basketball Season so Far

I am on the west ridge basketball A-team and our record so far is 1-4. We have fought hard in all of our games. Our next basketball game is against Hill Country on home court. I really want to beat them and show all the other teams that you don’t wanna mess with the WEST RIDGE WILDCATS!

Making the Basketball Team

When is this day going to end? I was sitting in my last class, wildcat time, waiting for the bell to ring. There was still 5 minutes left. I tried to read a book but I could not focus. I closed my eyes and waited.

RRRIINGGG! I raced out of the class room and down the hall, through the lunch room, and into the gym. “Move it people!” I shouted and pushed my way through the horde of students. Here it is, the moment of truth, I close my eyes and pray. Looking down the board I searched for my name. Where is my name? Please tell me I made it. YEESSS!!! I was cheering for myself and I was so happy, I knew I was going to make it.

I opened the door to my house and zoomed to my mom to tell her the great news. She hugged me and said ” I never doubted, even for a second.” Looking back at this experience, I realized that you should never doubt yourself if you truly believe you will do something great.
