The Greatest Game Ever

The following is a description of the greatest game ever.

1/8 Trailblazers vs. The Green Team

First Quarter: We could not buy a basket. We were getting good shots, moving the ball well. Cory missed 2 layups and an easy two footer. A tall awkward girl on the other team threw up a prayer and it went in. The quarter ended with them leading 2-0.

Second Quarter: Our shooting woes continued. Grace Green was playing zone defense, frowned upon by the league, and we couldn't seem to take it inside on their twin towers. They scored 4 points in transition and that awkward girl hit another unbelievable outside shot. The half ended with us losing 8-0.

Halftime: The girls kept asking their coach why their shots wouldn’t go in. That is when I wove a tapestry of inspirational words that would blanket that abysmal first half while simultaneously setting the table for one of the greatest comebacks in Burke basketball history.

Third Quarter: Bring on The Press. Grace Green's head was spinning. After calling two timeouts, she still could not figure out how to beat this ingeniously crafted defensive machine. The ball rarely saw their side of the court. Something came out of those girls that i had never seen before. It was like a dam bursting, pure excitement. We scored 8 that quarter, while holding them to only 2 points. The quarter ended with us only trailing 10-8.

Fourth Quarter: We did not let up. We tied it within the first minute and never looked back. Steal after steal, Grace Green sat down, reserved with her fate. There is just no stopping Cory Frigault and the Trailblazers. The game ended with us winning, 16-10.

Record: 3 - 1
