I have coached an 8th grade girls basketball team for the last five months. This past week we had our Tournament of Champions. We beat Milton to advance to the Semi-Finals, and then played Roswell in a close match. We ended up shooting a three-pointer at the buzzer to win the game by ONE point!!! To make that win even sweeter, we beat an ex-NBA player's b-ball team, Antonio Davis. (He played for the Pacers for a long time). We moved on to the Championship round and played our nemesis, Alpharetta. We had lost to them during the season, and so that made us the underdogs. They had a girl on their team that was 6'3", there was just no way to guard her, but somehow we managed. It was an intense game with so many eyes watching. It came down to the final 30 seconds, and we hit our free throws when we needed to. We won that game by ONE point. It was a triumphant win for us, and it felt so good! So we, the Warriors, are the CHAMPIONS of our area!!!!! We beat out all the high and mighty teams that always count out the little guys!
We will be playing in a tournament on February 23rd to see who is the Atlanta area champions. Fingers are crossed for those games.
