It was December 6th, 4:45p.m......
Me & my amazing teammates, Katiebugz, Bailo, Vanessanator, & Rae were all heading out to kick some deeerrrr booottayyy!!
We all got together and went over what plays we were doing & we all prayed...We started out on man & 2 on offense. The other team got the jump & we ran and found our man. A girl with obviously a bad shot, shot a Horrible layup & MISSED!! We got the ball back & headed down the court where we went through our play pretty darn good! Vanessa starts the play & I cut through when I'm supposed to & I hit a left handed layup. First 2 points of the game. We continue playing hard, on defense and on offense. We were always ahead or 2 points behind throughout the whole game...Until, our point guard got hurt. She had to sit out which left us with 4 players.:(!! But, we still managed to keep ourselves together & play one heck of a game. We ended up losing by 5 because the refs decided that they were not going to call anything. What cowards!! They were afraid a team of 4 was going to beat a team of what had to be atleast 15!! Yeah, what cowards!! We were all upset because we know we rightfully had this game. We went and prayed in the middle of the court, & headed to the locker room...where our awesome coach tells us that we need to work on BOUNCEPASSING!! bahaha;) & he says that we did good and stuck together & we fell apart just a little bit towards the end when we got frustarated but, that it was a good game & that after break when we play 'em in our gym...THEY ARE GOING DOWN!!!!
Me & My teammates still managed to smile, after a pretty tough game and loss.
That, my friends, are smiles of sunshine! Being able to smile after putting your heart into something you love. You might not succeed but, you put your heart in it & gave it all you got. That is the key to success!!
Thank you God for being amazing!:)
