By her saving those goals, she was able to pass the ball down field and allowed the attack to score one more goal before half time.

Dribble. Spin, cross over. Dribble again. The air is cool and only the sounds of ball against hardwood floors are audible. The newly polished court holds its weight underneath the 17-foot size EPSY winner Brittney Grinner. She crouches and dribbles the ball with her right hand before alternating to her left. Griner makes a quick move towards the basket. She stops at the three-point line and releases the ball. Hands remain perfectly arched. Swoosh. The ball bounces underneath the net; Grinner strolls over to retrieve it. She picks it up and makes her way back to the center of the court where the Phoenix Mercury logo resides. She crouches down again, ball on her right side and begins again.

A middle-aged brown hair lady comes to the scene, asking the former basketball star what happened and where the pain is coming from. Scanning the player’s leg and seeing the swollen ankle she comes to the conclusion that it is a sprained ankle,

There's fifteen seconds left in the game, and we're down one. It’s summer league game, but there is a large crowd of red and black screaming their support. The crowd is nervously sitting on the edge of their seats, waiting to see the outcome.

With lightening speed the orange ball hits Ally's open hands before finally landing in mine. I pound the bright ball up the floor and towards the waiting basket. Planting my right foot I push off the ground for a layup. As my body connects with the opposing player, knee to knee, I hear the high-pitched sound of the referee's whistle. With a sickening

Then he felt his shoes lift off the floor and then the rest of his body came off of his gamer bean bag. At first he was scared and then he was excited. He saw Lebron James practicing basketball across the street. He decided to go show him up across the street.

Instead, Olivia suggested we play gaga ball, a game where the players try to extract the other people from the pit by hitting their feet when they hit the ball. Emily, Leah, and I choose to sit out since it was really too hot outside and we weren’t interested in becoming all sweaty. Nevertheless, Olivia confidently stepped into the pit. Quickly, the game started with a rush of hand and feet, running, jumping, dodging, and hitting. Olivia was doing surprisingly well, considering it was her first game.
