It was my favorite thing to do, I loved being active. I was on a traveling basketball team in 5th-6th grade which was a transition from leaving rec sports to traveling with my friends. This is when competing against competitive teams from different towns started.

went to the football game where Utica played Hartwick. It was a very cold night but it was a very fun game to watch. The game was Charles A. Gaetano Stadium and we were first sitting in the bleachers but we wanted to go stand on the fence because we saw more of our friends standing over there. We were standing by the far end zone so we got to see a lot of the touchdowns which was fun to watch. My friends and I like going to other sporting events because we like to see how the other sports are played and who is on the team and that we hope people come to our lacrosse games.

I awoke on Friday morning to the smell of crispy bacon and hot eggs, my usual pre-tournament breakfast. I bolted out of bed to get to the kitchen. I devoured that pretty quickly, then headed to get ready for the weekend. I had already packed the night before: 2 uniforms, my swimsuit, pajamas, my bathroom bag, nice clothes for when we go out to eat as a team, and most importantly, my softball bag. I bolted out to the car as soon as I made sure I had everything ready to go. Everything was packed, and we embarked on our long journey to the Quad Cities.

It was Saturday, a 79 degrees sunny, summer day; a perfect day to have a basketball tournament. Because we defeated our first two opponents, if we won the third game we would move on to the finals. For this game, we were up against the Tipton Tigers, who had also won their first two games by more than 20 points. Even though we were going up against a great team, we were just as great. The start of the game went by and we found ourselves in a close game at 36 to 42, them. To push us forward, our coach gave us a pep talk. While he encouraged the players, I was thinking, “When I go in, there are a couple of things I can do to give a win for the Sabers: I said to myself, good defense and to move on offense. That will make it a close

My body was shaking as I felt the cold sweat drip down my face. I glanced at the crowd and saw everybody standing to watch how the basketball game was going to play out. The sound of fans cheering pounded against my ear drum, as if everyone in the gym had circled around me. As time winded down, the ball ended up back in my sweaty hands. I had the chance to win the game for my team. I had prepared for this moment my whole life, in the driveway, but in the driveway I was alone; the only thing I was playing against was my imagination. As I attempted the winning shot, the only thing I felt was my heart beating rapidly, , so fast it wasand the only thing I saw was the ball float through the air.

The Warriors forced a game seven, will they be able to go in this game in crunch time and win their first NBA Title? The crowd is amazing at Oracle Arena, and here come the players with energy ready to pull out the win. As the first quarter started I was on the bench waited for my time to go in, man I'm ready!Yes, I'm finally in it's the second quarter and were down by three let's pull out the lead and win this game.

It’s the end of halftime and were going out for

I had just finished basketball practice it was one of the hardest practices of my life because we were preparing for our tournament game tomorrow. I was tuckered out I began to walk toward the door, I tripped over my shoelaces I landed on the floor hard with a loud thunk everyone laughed except me. That when I noticed the water oozing through the big metal doors. I thought to myself I know it floods Sometimes ,but in the middle of June. That's when branches of an old oak crashed through one stain glass windows. “That was priceless one of the dads”, shouted. The branches were humongous and the biggest had landed on me!I struggle to get out from underneath the branch, but it was too big and my foot was shattered I couldn't move it I was stuck

The unforgettable times when I gasp for air -- legs weak, feeling the burn--make me feel like I’m not gonna make it out of that gym. But when it's all over, I know I accomplished something growing as a player, and the only thing bringing me back is my belief in the love of basketball.

I looked at the clock. I was 45 minutes early to basketball practice, waiting at the table. The basketball was dribbling under my fingertips, at a steady 1-2-3-4 pace. Thud, thud, thud, thud. My eyes wandered back to the clock. 42 minutes early from basketball practice.

Basketball has always been my passion, and I’m going to tell you all about it. Basketball has always been my favorite sport. I just LOVE to play the game. It all started when I was about 5 years old when my parents bought me a mini-hoop, and I was always shooting. That’s how I built my love and passion for the game. One thing that helped me as a little kid was my parents. They helped me build my work ethic and my skill. After that, I knew I had found my hobby, and I knew what I wanted to do when I grew up. A couple ways that still help me today are watching basketball and going to camps in the summer. I am also VERY fortunate to play for an AAU team named “San Antonio Hard work”. I had a great experience with this

It was a cold and snowy night when I showed up to my first basketball practice. I was confident I was going to do well because I played basketball every day. When i walked into Adobe to go to practice I was ten minutes early. As soon as I walked in my coach walked up to me and introduced himself and his son which was also on the team. After that we kind of just stood outside the gym till the basketball team before us left the gym so we could start our first practice of the season. When we got into the gym we got told to sit on the bleachers and after about a minute or two the coach walked over to the team and he made us introduce ourselves to the team. The first person who had to go first was Dom he was the coach’s

The clock started ticking down as the ball was passed in bounds. Five seconds never seemed so long. We were losing by two points, and the whole team knew the game plan. The ball was swung around the perimeter, from sideline to sideline, until it landed in my hands. The clock read 2.5 seconds, there was only enough time for one last shot. Little did i know, that one shot, would change my life, and basketball career forever.

“Lebron is going off”, my father was telling me. I could barely hear it though over how loud was at the insane game. I was the game of the year. The Cavs and Warriors were playing in game 7 of the finals. I didn’t think a crowd could be so loud and energetic. Halftime was coming up. The score was 49-42. The halftime show was about to start. The players ran to their locker rooms. Then, out of nowhere, “BANG”. It was loudest sound I have ever heard. After that a dance group emerged. They were flipping like snowflakes in the air through the main doors. They were dressed in all white. The crowd then got louder than ever before. The Shaq suddenly emerged out of the main doors. He busted out moves right in the middle of the court. I’m not gonna lie, they were terrible. It was very funny though. After what felt like an eternity of Shaq’s terrible moves, the most insane moment of my life occurred. It started with the dance group vanishing back through the main doors. Shaq was then alone at halfcourt holding a basketball. I noticed something around his neck however. When I asked my dad what he thought it was, he said it was binoculars. Shaq then started looking through his binoculars scanning the entire Oracle Arena. It seemed like he was looking right at me. There was no way though. Suddenly, he gave an awkward head nod. A little boy then brought him out a microphone. Shaq yelled into the microphone, “You, in the Curry jersey!” It seemed like he was pointing right at me. Shaq then
