Win or lose . . . .

One day after school I was so terrified and nervous knowing the next day was the basketball championship. When I got home I got changed and went outside to practice my plays and my shooting. As I was practicing I was scared felt I was doing everything wrong. My stomach started to hurt as if someone was squeezing me. My heart was beating faster and faster. The week of the championships was so shocking for me, I was afraid we were going to lose. My mom came outside and told me to believe in myself and my teammate it's going to be fine just try your hardest. My mom encouraged me and I was excited to see what will happen at the game.


  Basketball championship Day.

   When it was about time for the game we were changing into our uniform. For some reason my stomach started to ache. My heart was beating fast and my breathing was becoming  deeper and deeper. When getting on the bus I was thinking of all the plays and all the other things we were going to do. So then I was thinking that there is going to be people there and  that's when I became more fearful and nervous of what's was to come. But by the time I realized we were there. Taking the steps out of the bus and into the gym full of nervousness. As I waited for the referee to blowed the whistle and 3 minutes later he did. I was one of the first played girls. As we were going to the center of the court my fear and nervousness started to go away slowly and slowly. When we were playing in quarter 1 we were winning and they scored so we were pretty close. The girls were mostly tall and only a few short. By quarter 3 we were tired again and it was about to end when one of my team mates scored a point that when the buzzer rang and we were now entering in quarter 4. When we went for a little discussion, we were all so sweaty and exhausted. During the discussion we watched the other team like eagles watch there prey. My heart started beating faster going into the 4 quarter. As we began to hold the ball the other team had found out what the plan was and was now trying to get the ball. We were upset but not giving up yet the other team had scored and we were challenged to try and get more points. So we got the ball and made it in we were now 2 points ahead than the other team. There was 3 minutes left on the timer when they called us in to sub and plan out what's to come. I was watching the girls from the bench for the last minutes, I kept jumping up and down my seat. When I noticed the timer was a few seconds and when I turned my head  and my teammate scored. Next thing you know ther was 10 seconds left and I was on my feet waiting to see what comes next. The girls noticed from the other team there was only a few seconds left and were trying to score but they couldn't. Then 5...4...3...2...1... beeep! We did it we won. Cheering so loud and screaming out our lungs. I went home full of joy and so lucky and happy we won.
