The practice before championships is always set apart from the rest. In some ways we are more pumped up but in some ways its a bit more quiet then usually because of everyones nerves. The coach always has a big talk at the end telling us to eat right and get enough sleep before the big game.

This year was different. Two years ago we lost almost every game, and yet we loved it, we had so much fun just being together. A year ago we won some games and we lost some. No ones perfect right? But that year we made it to the playoffs, unfortunately we didn't exactly make it. I think it was because we were amazed we made it that far. But this year we made it to playoffs again and we won! we had made it to the championship. Everyone was filled with energy but yet we were all scared. We had to win this game.

When we got to the gym where the game was you could feel that everyone had butterflies in their stomachs. We went into a long hallway to go over plays that we needed to know. At the end of his little pep talk I had to add that we had to win this to go to chuck E cheese, and for one of the girls grandmom who had came to this game wen her husband had just died.

When the game started, everyone was on the edge of their seats the whole game. It was so close. Ref's are always a little ridiculous. It always seems like they are for the other team and against yours. So everyone gave them a hard time the whole game. It was kind of funny to hear some of the quietest parents in the stands scream that they are bad at their jobs, and they need to get your glasses checked. As the game went on the refs called about three technicals, a girl broke her glasses TWICE and tried to tape them with medical tape and keep playing. In the end they one by a couple points but it was still a good game. Next year the trophy is ours, since its the last year most of us can play.
