The feeling of sweat falling down my face. It was game 4 at Landon high school, and the air condition was not turned on. The gym felt like a furnace. It didn't really bother me because my mind was focused on the game. We only had 7 players, but we were playing the winless Fredrick team.
We need a W regardless who shows up to play. Game on, the clock the begins to tic. It was very back and fourth in the beginning. They took the lead at the end of the 1st quarter. Coach got mad at us for not playing defense. We didn't panic, although we did have our usual turnovers which we have to eliminate if we want to beat more competitive teams. Early in the second quarter we came back and were up by a few. It continued at the pace until the 4th quarter. We pulled ahead by 9. At that point with a comfortable lead I thought we should calm down and waste clock. Instead we started playing 1-5 which brought them back in the game. They brought our lead down to 4.
Right as that happened I stole the ball and made a layup then knocked down a 3! Up by 9. Fredrick couldn't get back in the game. Game over, we won! Also, shout out to cj who better be reading this.
