I have replayed the shot in my head so many times already and I'm still not tired of watching it again and again. It was a tough game against the same team of the gargoyle school that knocked us out of the playoffs last years. Until tonight happened, the memory of that game last year was the one that kept me up at night. We were up by one and all we had to do was hold onto the ball and run out the clock. Deuce was bringing the ball up court and got triple teamed leaving me open. Somehow he was able to get the ball to me, but instead of waiting for the defense to collapse on me and then pass the ball back to Deuce, our best dribbler on the team, I saw what looked like an open lane to the basket and I charged in for the dunk. Only it was a trap, 'cause at the last moment one of their players stepped in front of me and I got called for a charge. Two foul shots later they were the team up by one and time ran out on the game and our season. I spent the whole year wanting a boo-over for that mistake. Tonight I got one. It was almost the same scenario as last year, except we were down by one with ten seconds left. Deuce brought the ball up court and he got double-teamed. Every other monster on the team was covered but me. Deuce passes me the ball, and I start dribbling hard toward the basket like I'm going in for the slam, and just like last year, one of their players slides over to take the charge, only this time instead of running into him I pull up at about fifteen feet and fired up a jump shot. Nothing. But. Net. The gargoyles were totally stone faced but you could tell they were mad their plan didn't work again this year. I guess they didn't know that after that game last year, rain or shine, I practiced that shot a 100 times a day until I could drill it in my sleep. I never attempted that shot once in a game all year because we didn't want other teams, especially the gargoyles, to be on guard for it but we worked on it every day in practice. It worked just like we planned it. I saw Iris at the game, too, which only added to the excitement. I heard she got hurt after the game though, which is why she didn't make it to the victory party afterwards. I hope she's okay. I guess I could call her, but I wouldn't know what to say so I'd probably end up saying something dumb. Great-I might as well forget about any sleep now.
