(a month later)
With the championships coming up everyone was on edge, they had a week before it started. Practices were an hour longer than usual so they could practice harder and longer.
Benji was throwing the ball into the basket taking a few steps back when he made it in, while everyone ran laps upstairs. Sadly, he still hasn't gotten his running blade so he hasn't been able to run with the team.
He was getting really good at half-court throws, he rarely missed. He then started to play around with dunking the ball, doing layups, and other things.
Jake was watching from the sidelines smiling, "I'm glad our shooting guard didn't get rusty." he smiled walking over to the out of breath Benji,
"Yeah me too," he said catching his breath,
"Bean! Get a drink!" Cal yelled from the track upstairs, Benji smiled and did a thumbs up towards him. He and Jake walked over to the bench and Benji sat down, chugging his water.
"But seriously, these past months without you have been weird," Jake said, handing Benji a towel to wipe off his sweat, which he gladly took.
"I bet. I'm just glad I figured out my shit before the championships." Benji smiled up at Jake, Jake smiled back and nodded his head. He yelled for the boys to finish the lap and come downstairs. They finished and swarmed the bench that Benji sat on.
"Ok, so we figured out who we're playing in the first round of three. Oh, by the way, I don't know if I told all of you but Benji will only be playing one quarter per game." Everyone nodded, drinking out of their cool water bottles that Maddie and Lucy provided. "The first team we're playing is the Blue Jackets. There a really good team, we have our work cut out for us.
