9th period


My first game

I remember when I had my first basketball game. I was 8-years-old
and I was only 4 feet tall. My coach was saying that I have things thats
inside of me. I never knew what it mean period. So when I had my first
game, I was in grammar school copernicus and we was going against maze
grammar school. So I wasnt starting five, I was like the sixth man. I was
playing point guard. So the game started. Maze got the tip-off. The game
was going good, but I wasnt thinking about the game, I was thinking about
what my coach was saying to me, "you have things thats inside of you. My
grammar school was losing and it was the 4 quarter. My coach put me on
the floor and said to me remember what I told you. When I got on the floor
some dude push me and stolen the ball. I got really mad and took good
advantage and I was scoring points left to right. I was stealing the ball,
and I was grabbing rebounds like crazy. When we won the game, my
coach asked me did you find what was inside of you? I said yes, Iam
a beast!
