The game

Adrenaline pumps through your veins

as you make your way down the court,

with the sound of yelling and squeaky shoes

surrounding you.

The game

Salty beads of sweat drip down and

fall onto the drenched blue and gold jersey,

showing the color of navy blue.

The game

The ball leaves your fingertips

as you pass it to your teammate

giving your trust.

The game

You run full spead around the blockade

of players to get an open pass.

The game

As you raise your hands vigorously,

the ball flies towards you, fitting perfectly

into your hands.

Looking up at the basket, time slows down

and everything freezes.

The game

As the clock goes down:

five, for three...

You jump in the air and

shoot the ball with all

of your might.

The game

The ball rotates in the air

as anticipation fills the gym.

With one second left,

you hear the sound of a swish.

The victory

The buzzer goes off

and the crowd roars as

they run off the bleachers,

onto the court

The victory

A feeling of triumph

spreads through every

pumping vien, while

straining your voice from the

screaming of celebration

The victory

Happiness overcomes as

you see the faces of proud parents and peers.

The trophy

As the glowing gold prize is

being handed to coach, you hear:

Everyone, please welcome the

2016 2A Boys Basketball Champions!

The trophy

Claps and whistles are given

as the new champions walk

through the crowds of people

with pure success.

The end

As you walk out of

the gym, you look back at

the crowd and realize

that nothing is

better than the game.
