B-ball for the first time

B-ball for the first time

Tweet! That was the sound of the ref’s whistle. 5...4...3… Bedford’s ball. We were winning 24-22. Number 12 of Bedford zoomed up the court with the ball. They had one chance to win the game. They shot up a quick three pointer. 3… 2… 1… The game depended on this very shot. The ball rattled around the rim bing… bang… bong… If this shot missed we would remain undefeated. N-N-NO GOOD. We won and went completely ballistic! It all went down like this. I still remember the last two minutes like it was yesterday. We were losing 20-18. Bedford scored again to make the score 22-18. The pressure was on with just 1:50 to go. We had to score here, if not we were toast. I sprinted up the court with the ball. I zoomed the ball over to Colin and he exploded to the basket. He passed over to Aidan M. He shot the ball in the net and got fouled too. He missed the shot but Kyle got the ball and put it right back in to make the score 22-22! We pressed them on defense. PRESS BREAK! they called out. 5...4...3...2...1…  five second violation.

We were going crazy! I passed it to Aidan C. He drove to the basket and scored! 24-22! Bedford passed the ball in...10...9...8… Bedford’s number 12 bolted up the court as fast as if he were a bunny being chased by a coyote. He chucked up  a “Hail Mary” three pointer. Bedford players stared at the ball with wide open eyes hoping it would go in to clinch the game. It swirled around the rim of the hoop, for what seemed like the longest couple seconds of my life. I glanced over at the shooter. He had the look of victory in his eyes, but so did I! Apparently, luck was on our side as the ball hit the backboard and bounced out. The buzzer went off and we won!
