Today my team faced Almaden. My mom was certain she would see someone she knew, but she didn't. Little did I know today was going to be my team's day.
On opening tip, we controlled the ball. It was the first time we had all season, but we failed to score. This was going to be the tempo of the game, lots of shots, no scoring. At the end of the first half the score was tied 10-10.
However, in the second half we began to pull away. By the fifth quarter, we were leading. That was all it took, and we ended up winning 30-17.

We Won!
Today my team played our game in Evergreen. I was determined to win. The game started, with me playing in the first quarter. Our team played well, and I stold the ball once. We left the court leading 9-7.
But their defense was relentless. Through the first 5 minues of the second quarter( we have 8 minute quarters), they held us to 9. We held them to 7.
And then we took over. We made good passes to a man when their defense wasen't guarding him. We started scoring and scoring. By halftime our lead was more than 2( I can't remember what the actual score was.)
After the halftime break, I was ready and rearing to go. And it showed, as I got the ball twice, and scored twice. By the end of the third quarter, we lead by a ton.
Our forth quarter team kept on going like we had. One of our players just kept getting the ball and scoring. Meanwhile, we were playing monster defense, stopping the drive and steeling the ball to give us a humongus lead.
In the fifth quarter it was like nothing could go wrong. And that was the thing. Nothing could go wrong.
I began to play great defense, going after the ball on every play and our team began playing great on both ends of the court. As I left the court with 3:57 seconds I congradulated myself on a great game. After all, we just won our very first win of the season!
Noting felt better than a win.
