Our JV Boys were playing Ryan's Varsity Boys team. We were down by 12 points in the 4th quarter. It looked grim. Then they started to add points to the scoreboard. A 3 point buzzer beater at the end of the 4th quarter sent them to overtime. Once again they fell behind, but they kept on pushing. Down by 1 point with 4 seconds left in overtime they throw a baseball pass from out of bounds to #15. Phils (#15) has been struggling all year, after finishing last year with a bang, his shots have been missing this season. He has worn out his net at home shooting, trying to get back into the groove. With 3 seconds left Phils sets up to shoot a 3. We all hold our breath as the shot looks like it will bounce off the glass and back out onto the court...then BANG BABY! The ball bounces off the glass and into the basket. The buzzer sounds and COUGARS WIN! The crowd is screaming and the boys are going nuts. They all dog pile on Phils, they are so excited for him.
Celebration, for certain! (The dejection of the opposition is apparent by the jersey over the one player's head, too!) Those kinds of memories are so good to record. Thank you for visiting my blog today.
