It all came down to this the last game of the season and we already lost to this team once. well i wouldn't call it a loose I would call it a blowout a murder slaughtered anything but not a loose and here we are again the same place at our court at Northwestern Middle School 6th grade basketball and most people say championships don't really count in 6th grade but this was not a championship for us this win or lose goes to heart this is not about a trophy it is about redemption. As I step on to the court. I was thinking to myself what if we lose again we have already lost once. And as I look over at the others team side and as they are shooting I do not see them miss a shot.

When we got back on to the court it was time I thought it was time to go hard or go home and just as I was getting ready to press I heard a voice say ¨Tyler trap at half court¨ I turned around to see it was my friend and fellow teammate Dontez I nodded and right when they hit mid court we pounced like a lion pounces on his prey and got the steal we took the easy fast break score it was the first time we took the lead that whole game.

Something that would change my basketball career for the next 3 years and I would never
