I was dribbling down the court. I stopped to make a play, what could have been a costly mistake. The other team lunged at the ball. I quickly crossed over and made him fall. My team, Crosland Law, we're down, 45- 43. We had 5 seconds left. Coach Eli Smith called our final timeout.
" Lucian we need a corner three, if not, find Jerome right next to you" I nodded. We stacked, I darted to get the ball. It came my way, I pulled up a three pointer, from the corner. I watched it sail over the basket, but I got fouled! I went to the free throw line, and everyone was herded off the court.
" You've got to be kidding me, first game of the season and it's down to the wire?" I muttered. I got the ball from the referee. I breathed out and shot it. It when in. The ref gave me my second. I swished that one. I had the best free throw percentage in the league. I took a deep breath. I released and I saw it bounce around and go in! I smiled as I ran to the bench. Coach Smith patted my head and I took a towel from my best friend, Mitch Harte. He gave me dap and I was escorted to the Imagination Room.
