Basketball is a difficult sport
that requires not only physical but also mental strength. It is a sport where both
team make runs and the score can totally change within a few minutes. You must
never surrender because one minute on the clock can last a very long time. On
the 27th of February our CHS basketball team went to Abilene for the
third time this season. It was an amazing game with much battling between the
two teams.
The 4th quarter was a
fight because we were trailing but kept catching up. With about 22 seconds on
the clock we were down by 6 when Cooper Holmes drove to the basket and put the
ball in for two points. We were still trailing by 4 points when Ethan Bechard
caused a foul, but Abilene missed the 2 free-throws. Jace Coppoc brought up the
ball and gave it to Cooper Holmes who drove and kicked it out to Ethan for a
three. He made it a one-point game with 7 seconds on the clock. Bechard fouled again
to stop the clock and Abilene made one of the two free-throws. Grant Holmes
grabbed the rebound and pushed the ball up to the three-point line. He pulled
up for the shot and was fouled by Abilene’s guard which caused three
free-throws. He made two of them and our Panthers ended up winning the game in
overtime, 82-75.
I am sure nobody in the gym
expected such a game at the beginning. Wins like that bring teams closer
together and show that you should never give up when you are playing a sport.
Whether it is basketball or football or any other sport, it is always worth to
try as hard as you can!
