Basketball game

I say that we had ourselves a fairly beneficial afternoon filled with ovations, screams, and the sound of running feet. I am sure that none of you had missed our girls's basketball team 's formal skirt parade today; it has caused some turned heads. According to the Pacific American Girl's Basketball team tradition, on the day of the competition, all girls were required to wear formal attires to school since studies have shown that a person generally performs better when they were dressed more formally. I was uncomfortable at first, and I could tell that many other ninth graders felt the same, but than we got over it. We arrived at the basketball court at around 3:30 and the game started at 4:00 sharp. Although our team did not lose, I felt that I knew a little more about basketball than I did just a few hours ago. Sure, we weren't ready. At least, I wasn't. Yet our profound coach Mr. Lee has offered us some valuable insights many pointing towards the direction of trying new things. " You can't always wait until you're ready," he said. " Cause you'll never feel that you are." To me, it was a game well played, but we still lost. I need to work on dribbling, shooting, and overall confidence more. I also find it weird that none of us were using the strategies we spent so many long hours practicing, perhaps things would have been better if we have done so.
