So as we get ready to face against Travon I survey out team against his team. His team looks like trash, but he can carry it to victories it seems, as they've been on the court for a long time. On my team I've got Ray and a big guy names Winston. He wanted to guard Tra, because Tra is 6-7 and I'm 6-3 and Winston's 6-9, but I told I had him. We check up and I stoop low on Travon. He singles it over to a guy names Kahlil, and walks off to the paint Casually with me trailing, like he wasn't even trying. Then he gave me a hard jab and ran around a screen to get the ball up top and drained a 15 footer with his percent form, right over the head and jumping like 10 inches off the ground. As he comes down he looks at me and whispers, " Snare".
3 YEARS EARLIER
Commentaters Jeff Goodman and Nyle Wilson on the championship game between Baytown High and Camill.
"And The Rabbit, Warren Royce, looking tired out there in the 4th quarter, down by 6."
"Yes, Travon Dakarison has definetly tired him out, Nyle. Travon has 31 points while Royce only has 6. Is this a sign of who is the REAL player of the nation?"
"It would appear so, Jeff. Royce is a 5 star player, but I think we all know now who the better prospect is. I might even call Travon the Snare, because tonight we came out and killed the Rabbit".
BAYTOWN WENT ON TO LOSE THE GAME. FINAL STATS:
T.Dakarison- 43 points, 13 rebounds, 4 blocks
W.Royce- 7 points, 6 assists, 4 turnovers
PRESENT DAY
Seething with rage at his comment, I d'd him up real tight. I was playing more physical than I ever has before, but he was no baby. He wasn't calling a foul unless he was bleeding. Ever Calm, Tra rose up for another jumper and nailed it. After a few more possessions of Travon's, Ray grabs a board for our first touches, down 6-0. Ray passes it to me, and I drive hard to the basket. Tra races up behind me and pins my shot on the backboard, causing OOOHHH from the crowd that had slowly grown when they recognized me and Dakarison. After the block, he raced to take it back and hammered it down on me with two hands, hanging on the rim. Khalil missed a J, and Ray pulled it down. He faked a pass to me and rose up for three. SWISH. He gets it back and tries again. SWISH. He proceeds to hit 3 more jumpers and even drive for a light slam. I didn't know he had that in him. Finally he missed and Travon basically finishes the game. He missed at game point and Woods zips me a pass. I throw it down one handed, but it didn't feel to good. Eventually Tra gets bored and throws it down in traffic for the win. After the he he calls out me," Ay Warren. You could learn some from this Guy". Pointing to Ray. "he's better than you. Do I smell a new starter for the Cougars? Won't be surprised if I see you on the bench next time we play, Royce." He gives Raymond dap and then head home. Ray tries to come over to me to say good game, but I just turn around to storm on home.
