BASKETBALL by Zavian, 6-W

Introduction
The score is 17-19, 1 second left, Panthers called timeout, the coach said we need to put all our shooters in. We need to hurry up and shoot. If we make it we go to the championship game. So Zach rolled the ball down the court because the time doesn't start till he picks up the ball. Josh picks the ball up, passes it to Alex, he shoots, the ball is circling around the rim and...

Chapter 1
Here I am at practice, sweating like crazy. My coach "Come on guys, we got to keep hustling to go to the championship." It is the first round of the playoffs. We play this team called the Tigers. We beat them in the regular season but not by a lot. After my practice, my coach pulled us all together. My coach says, "Oh, everybody, regular season is over and when we get on the court tomorrow, I want you guys to leave everything out there. Ok?"

Chapter 2=Quarter Final Game
When my team got to the game we started to stretch. We had one game in front of with 1 min. left in the game. When that game was over my team ran out onto the court. We always start with layups then we usually go to 3 man weave. When the game started, my coach said, "K, here's our starting lineup. Ronell, Zach, Zavian, Tyler, and Dakota." When we get out there we get in place and jump the ball. We get the tip and the game began. My team scored right after the tip so we're on defense now. We go to full court, 1-3-1, and they couldn't handle it. We kept on stealing the ball and scoring and at half time the score was 25-10. After half time it was just getting boring. The final score was 40-20.

Chapter 3: Semifinal Game
That same day we had to come back and play another game. Now this team is way better than the one we played earlier. Well, the same starters came in this time. We didn't win the tip but our team went straight to a 1-3-1 again. Now they handled this 1-3-1 better and their one ball handler kept getting past us. That's when my coach yelled out "GO TO A BOX OF ONE." So we did and that stopped them till it was half time.

When half time was over my coach put 2nd strings in to start. They did really, in fact they did so good that they finished the game. Well we won 30-17. Now we're off to the championship!
