Making it

Sweat dripping down my face, arms, and legs. My breath hinges as Hailee and Sophia pass the ball in. There's approximately 1 minute and 24 seconds left in the fourth quarter. All the screaming fans fill the bleachers, our school colours bouncing up and down mixed in with our rivals. I take a look in the crowd and see my dad, he has one of the biggest smiles on his face. I don't think he's ever been more proud than now.
I shake my head and focus back on the game. Hailee comes down the court the ball in her left hand her weak hand. The defense comes back strong with open arms and wide stances. She fakes to the right, goes behind the back, and then through the legs. Hailee made it to the high post, I fake towards the goal, then spin to the corner. As soon as I was open the ball is in my hands. I grip the ball, square up to the goal and put my arms in the air and jump... but before I can tell you what happened let me explain how I got here.
