JOSH LOOKS LIKE THAT IN THIS OKAY? OKAY
this was an important game for tyler and his whole team, as this was the championship game of a tournament they were in that their school hosted. they were playing liberty union, a tough team.
they've played liberty before this year a few times already, and also last year. they won once this year and lost once. liberty was kinda of theyre rival team, just because of how good they both were.
"you ready to kick some ass joseph?" blake said, bro shaking tyler as he walked into the locker room.
"hell yeah man, you?" tyler replied.
"you gotta control yourself around josh, ya know." blake laughed. josh was the forward for the other team, and tyler was a forward also so they guarded each other. tyler thought he was hot, but he couldn't stand the kid. he was a rough player, and so was tyler so they just got mad the whole game. they really worked each other, since their skill was probably at the same level.
"no promises i don't beat his ass." tyler rolled his eyes, lacing up his basketball shoes.
"you almost got a technical foul the other day, and you saw how mad coach was so i'd watch it." blake laughed.
"yeah, i don't care. not like he's gonna kick me off the team." he shrugged. tyler stretched a bit before grabbing his basketball and bouncing it a few times. he walked out of the locker room to the court, where a few other of his teammates were warming up. the stands were filled, completely.
"hey man." tylers friend parker said, he was their starting post player. tyler said hey back, stepping outside the three point line and shooting the ball. it flew seamlessly through the net.
he grabbed his ball, rolling his eyes as he saw joshua walked out of the visitors locker room, his friends surrounding him. josh was 5'11, just a few inches shorter than tyler. they both were muscled, and very attractive.
joshs eyes locked with his from across the court, the tension thick between them. josh grabbed his basketball, slowly turning away and shooting.
tyler turned his own focus back to the goal, as he warmed up in various ways.
"hey ty, you never texted me?" one of tylers teammates came up to him.
"yeah, sorry i just. ya know." he shrugged, the guy nodding along and laughing even though he didn't know. tyler may have slept with him, and then never texted him again.
"yeah i get it." he nodded, walking off. tyler sighed, shooting his ball again. the buzzer went off, tyler leaving his ball for one of the benchwarmers to get, as he walked to the sideline. as he did, he passed josh, the boys slowly walking past with angry looks on their faces.
"alright, tough game but we can do it. play you're best. we're gonna start of in man on defense, and probably stay in it the whole game. they'll be in it too so we might try some of the plays we worked on today. for now just run away." coach said. away was a 4 out play, where the post stayed opposite of the ball, until it went down to the corner.
"one two three warriors!" the team yelled, the five starters walking out and taking their position, parker ready to jump. the crowd cheered loudly, the other side also when liberty walked out.
"white, this way. blue, that way. ready?" the ref said, bouncing the ball before tossing it up. liberty won the tip off, everyone calling out their man and adjusting to their offensive play.
josh got in his spot at the elbow of the free throw line, leaning on tyler already. tyler fought to get around him, josh fighting to keep him in his spot. they both wore each other out.
