A Great Year Of Basketball!!!

I love to play the game of basketball. I have played it for as long as I can remember and have always loved it. My first year, of organized basketball, was when I was in the third grade and I have played almost every since then. There have been a couple years where there has been circumstances that have prevented me from playing, but anyways...The last few years our team has played game after game, and poured sweat and blood into trying to achieve a winning season. This year, for the first time in many many years of this school's history we will have a winning season. We have achieved our goal that we set at the beginning of the season and I think that I speak for the whole team in saying that we give ALL the glory to God for what we have accomplished.
We started out the season being 5-0. Our next game was against a school that we seem to all ways get so close to beating them but just can't pull it off. Sadly it was the thing again this year. We had a chance to win with four seconds left but the ball caught a bad bounce off of the back of the rim. We went on to lose by a narrow two points. That was the worst feeling. The thought of being so close but yet so far.
We are now to this day 8-2. We suffered a narrow loss just a couple days ago. We lost by one point, ONE MEESELY POINT, in overtime. That was incredibly hard to walk away from. But we do not dwell in the past for press forward to our next goal, which is to win our last game of the season to our rivals. It's should be an incredible game! I am PSYCHED about what this team has been able to accomplish this year through God's strength for without His strength we would be hopeless! Overall, It has been a GREAT year of basketball for the PRAIRIE BAPTIST COUGARS!!!
