Carly’s dream goal is to be the best basketball player in the Women’s National Basketball Association. Her friends are very supportive when she has good games and bad games. One day, one of Carly’s classmates had said, “You can’t make it to the big leagues because you barely see an Asian girl on the court.” “Wait on me and watch,” yelled Carly. “Yes We’ll see,” said Carly’s classmate. Carly loves it when people say things just to put her down because she likes to prove them wrong. So in a month, there is going to be the championship where Carly can let the people know who she is. After practice, Carly’s coach had told Carly to come speak with her. “So you know that the championship is just around the corner right?” said Carly’s coach “Coach …show more content…
I taught you how to play basketball ever since you was a kid. You was very determined to make it to the WNBA. Why stop now?” said Carly’s coach with a shock. “I know coach, but you telling me the news about my grandmother just took me down. I tried to pick up a ball and get back on the grind, but it doesn't seem right anymore,” said Carly with tears on her face. “Baby I know its hard to lose a loved one, but your grandmother wanted to see you on tv. You can’t stop your dreams now,” said Carly’s mom in a cheerful voice. “Mom even if I do start back playing, it wouldn’t feel right at all,” said Carly. “I have an idea, but you have to trust me on this,” said Carly’s coach. “Of course I trust you,” said Carly. The next day, Carly was told to meet up at the gym where she started to play basketball. “Hello? Is anyone here?,” questioned Carly. A man named Jimmy Choo, who plays in the NBA for the Clovers came through the doors and surprised Carly. “Yes Miss Carly, I’m here,” said Jimmy Choo with a smile. “Jimmy Choo what are you doing here?” asked Carly with amazement in her eyes. “I’m here to get you back in basketball,” answered Jimmy …show more content…
They both been working together day and night, which helps a lot for Carly because she is back playing basketball. Today is the Championship and Carly is extremely nervous. “I don’t know if I could play this game,” said Carly. “Yes you can! You are Carly Means who's going to make it to the WNBA. I believe that you would make twenty-one points or more in this game tonight,” said Jimmy Choo with determination. “Thank you for your support Jimmy Choo,” said Carly. She walked off to the court with her fellow teammates. During the game, Carly felt happy again. However, it was almost the end of the game and Carly is starting to get very nervous again. So Carly’s coach took Carly out of the game for second. “What’s the matter Carly?” asked Carly’s coach. “It’s almost the end of game and we are down by ten points,” said Carly while having a nervous breakdown. Jimmy Choo saw Carly and coach having a conversation in corner while the game was going on. He suspects trouble, so he walks towards Carly and her coach. “Whats going on?” asked Jimmy Choo. “She getting nervous because we are down by ten points and the game is almost over,” replied Carly’s
The girls continue trying to persuade the coach to allow them on the team when a group of boys, including Justin, Viola’s boyfriend, approach the group. At first the boys appear happy, but when told that the girls want to try out for the team, Justin along with some other guys, laugh then stand taller, cross their arms over their chests and change their facial expressions from carefree to smug, causing them to appear intimidating. The coach continues to explain to the girls that, “Girls aren’t as fast as boys… Or strong… Or athletic. This isn't me talking, it’s a scientific fact.” During which again he changes his posture to a more intimidating stand. With this new realisation, Viola asks Justin, as the team captain, what he thought, to which he replies, “I think the coach said it all.” Viola then confronts him, stating that just yesterday he said that she was better then half the boys on his
“I think she’s going to be an outstanding basketball player for us, We’re looking at her to be our point guard next year.” Coach Alexander said. “It’s nice to know we’re going to have a her for the next three years after this. So we’re just trying to build her confidence up, and hope she’ll be one of our leaders for the
Their coach was Chet Carnivale. Coach Chet had been making a big impact on the Greenwave girls. It was late January, early February; the middle of the basketball season, and their record was 22-0. They couldn’t believe they were undefeated. Taking on Sacred Heart at 4:30, the Greenwave girls would compete to win the championship game in the Sacred Heart Tournament. Time had flown by. The sound of basketballs bouncing and the squeaking of basketball shoes burning rubber on the floor meant that it was almost game time. The Greenwave girls were extremely anxious. Coach Chet had sparked a new confidence in them, and their anxiety and fear quickly turned into anger and determination to give their long-time enemy a taste of their own medicine. Somehow, the fear of destroying their record and losing a chance at revenge still lingered in the back of their minds. All of a sudden, the ref blew the whistle for the jump
“ Hello babe this not a good time right now” Jailen said “ I have something to tell you “ she said “ Make it quick dolly i ain't got time for yo games right now“ jailen said irritated “ we have a little surprise “ she said “ hurry up and say it “ he yelled
This made angie want to try out for the basketball team, and follow in her sister's footsteps. Angie had not shot a basketball in a very long time and was not in shape. For the month leading up to tryouts she worked out and got in shape and worked on her game non stop. On the first day of tryouts right before the tryout the coach asked her “what are you doing here? You won’t make the team”.
With about 30 minutes of a quick break Coach Gad gathered us into the hallway for a congratulations and another motivation speech. From what I can remember of the speech it had a lot to do with how everyone doubted us and no one believed we could make this far. After hearing this I and probably everyone else got this huge spark of fire ready to win the championships. As we made our way back to the gym the buzzer buzzed and the game was about to begin. The team we were playing was Marlboro one thing everyone knew about this team was the had this star player named Grace who basically was the whole team. Every set was basically for her for her and every dig she seemed to get. Knowing this made ourselves play smart and try our hardest not to spike the ball to her. We were serving first Alyssa gave a beautiful float serve that Grace passed and spiked which gave Marlboro the first point. Losing the first point didn’t break our confidence, throughout the entire set the points were coincidently going back and forth. A key play in the first set was when Grace was approaching for a spike Megan roofed her. Everyone who was cheering for us went crazy you could feel the floor shaking from our screams. Even with our enthusiasm Marlboro was determined to win the first set 25 to
“Her ability to defend in the back court sets her apart from many outsides in our league. Her knowledge of the game allowed her to score the ball against any defense. She has grown so much from last season and her hard work does not go unnoticed. She is one of the most competitive players which gives her the drive to be the best that she can be.”
“Girls, I want you to run this new play,” He demanded, while he got down on one knee and began to scribble something foreign on his clipboard. My head was spinning, I was exhausted, irritated, and distracted. We huddled, then sprinted back out to the court. We continued to fumble the ball around and attempt to block the layups the other team was scoring. The buzzer boomed and echoed across the lifeless gym. We jogged over to the bench, yet Coach Foley had no words.
Finally, the day had come; my mother knew what my fate was. The anticipation was killing me, as my mother presented me the information in the slowest way possible. Astonishingly, I had made the team. I was officially on my CYO A Basketball team. My heart began to race one thousand miles per hour.

GAMETIME!!! Carl gets the tip off and passes it to Charlie then he drives the hoop and makes the basket and gets fouled. he makes his free throw. Later in the day it was halftime and the game was tied. The coach was very happy how they're playing against the Bobcats. Then, it's in the fourth quarter and the game is getting tight and Jimmy is the only person the team that hasn’t played yet.

There she was situated on the bus like any other Wednesday afternoon after hearing teachers screech all day. Suddenly, she heard coach wondering if anyone was willing to take a girl's’ position; she volunteered herself. She has never been able to see that glistening blue water through her goggles because her coach didn’t think she was ready to compete. Almost getting to her destination it was her time, the day where she’ll be able to wear her uniform other than just sitting behind taking time.
She got really scared and ran off to the side where her coach and he standing, she told her coach “ I don’t know if I can do this.” He pulled her aside and cried “ Chasity, you got this! I know you better than anyone and i’ve seen you cheer, you’re amazing! Just go out there
