-Basket Ball Tournament- The time has come, I thought to myself. We are battling OIS again. Everyone on my team was nervous, because we had played them the day before and lost. It was a very close game so we knew we could beat them! We had to win, to be 3rd place. “PEEP!” Mr. Kobo blew the whistle and the game started. The first quarter was quite tough. The thing that annoyed us the most was that the OIS players were underestimating us. We carried on playing and already their good players had quite a few fouls. I was confident that we would win even though we were losing about 4-12. The buzzer rang and the first quarter ended. Mr. Paron, our coach, gave us advice and then we ran out onto the court. We played very hard, but Mr. Kobo didn’t call out all of our fouls. The 2nd quarter was coming to the end and the score wasn’t doing so well. We were losing about 9-20. That was a horrible score. I saw Mr. Paron pulling his shirt above his head, and I could hear him screaming his head off. Well, to be honest, he was mostly swearing. “3, 2, 1 BEEEEPPPP” “NO, NO, NOOO. We are not going to lose!” One thing that cheered us all up was that all their good players had 4 fouls! So we guessed they will all be kicked out by the end of the 3rd quarter. We began the quarter and no one on our team was going to give up. We had to win, for our school, for Mr. Paron, and all the people cheering for us. Almost all the teams except OIS were cheering for us. As we expected, all their good players were kicked out about three-fourths of the way through the 3rd quarter. This was our chance to get our trophy! Our score was much better; additionally, we only let them score 4 points, meaning 2 baskets. Unfortunately, there was one bad thing~~ I HAD 4 FOULS AT THE END OF THE 3rd QUARTER! “TEEAAAMM” We shouted, and ran to the court. “This is our gym. This is our Home. This was our game,” I thought to myself with confidence. Mr. Paron didn’t want me to be fouled out so he put in Maya for defense and me for offence. We had soooo many fouls that every time they fouled us we got two shots. This was amazing! We scored every time. The score was 24-24. We had about a minute. I was on the court even though we were on defense. I jumped as high as I could grabbed the ball, ran as fast as I could towards the basket, past the defense, and SHOT! The gym became silent all of a sudden. “SWISH” The ball went in! Every one cheered up. This was our game! We had about thirty seconds left. Maya knocked the ball away from the offence and Julie snatched it. She ran faster than anyone on the court. She furiously swung the ball away from her defense, and shot an amazing lay up! 10 seconds left! We did one-on-one defense and wasted their time. “BEEEEPPPPPP” the buzzer went and everyone jumped up and down in joy. We had won! Fiza Razik
