My first Basket Ball game

On Wednesday, January 20 I played my first basketball game for Golf Middle school. We played Park view. I was really nervous and was really scared when they arrived because our team was so short and there team was tall. I knew this would be a tough game. When I came in my heart was racing. When I got a rebound I gave it to my teammates as fast as I could. When we were on offensive I got the ball and went fr a layup but go fouled. My worst nightmare has just happened. I WAS SHOOTING FREE THROWS!!! I was literally freaking out. In practice I usually make mine but this time I thought I would air ball them or miss them because everybody was staring at me. As the ball was tossed to me i caught it, looked at the hoop, took a deep breath, got in form and took the shot. The release felt perfect and I knew it was going in. I watched the shot and the ball went perfectly in the hoop and it was first point of the season. I couldn't believe it, my first shot was a swish! Then for the second shot I wasn't  as scared but still was nervous. I did the same thing as I did in the first shot but this time I put a little to much power but it still went in but not as pretty. But we ended up going to overtime with them and we were all excited because they were probably the best team and we took them to OT, but lost by 4 points. Even though we lost I still had fun and think as the season continues, we will be one of the best teams.
