in previous years, that is, all the years of my life, i have played basketball. in the beginning, i played for various teams at Johnny Bright Playground. However, every year i mangaged to miss a majority of our games, because, since i was the tall girl (nicknamed "tally") the pressure was on me to score. in 6th grade i started playing basketball at Sacred Heart. in my first season i sucked. and our team did too. However, we did win 2 games. in my second year, our team was not so good. we won 1 game i think. in my 8th grade year, however, by some stroke of luck we had a star player- jade. jade was our team. our plays consisted of: "give the ball to jade so that she can score." sadly, my freshman year, the basketball team was again horrid. no jade = no winning games. sophomore year- bad bad bad. we won 1 game but since it was in a tournament that does not count.
every year i sign up for basketball. who knows why? i groan and gripe about practices and always wish i had more time for homework. i'm always sleep-deprived and pushed to the limit. however, i heart basketball. i hardly ever get a chance to just play in my free time, but when i do i really like it. so, this year mr. parten has cracked down on the team. we are currently conditionning with the cross country team, which means that we are RUNNING an average of 2 miles a day. the team is small, and many practices are missed by all. but this year, my friends, the basketball team will triumph and prove all those skeptics wrong!!! i'm pumped.
WHO RAH?? DA RAH!!!
