To Close for Comfort!

Hey guys!! Wow, it has almost been one whole week since I last posted!! Wow, time sure flies when you are at school!

Last night was Derek's basketball game. I can safely say this with a proud smile on my face that the 8th grade Warriors have had an undefeated season!! :O Anywho, I am so glad that on Tuesday Derek got to play and he made his first shot too!! I was so happy for him and oh how I wish you could have seen the look on his face when he made that!! He was so happy and his smile was so big and all his basketball buddies were smiling and were so happy for him!! OK, back to my story, hmmm, got a little bit of track, oops!! :) Anywho, so last night they played Milton, and that the team that Derek has never gotten to be in the game when they play Milton and there's a reason for it too, they are good. They almost always use man-to-man and the press, to put a lot of pressure on our guys. Anywho, the game started off great and our team was ahead as usual, but then Milton started to pull ahead and soon they were one point ahead then, two, then three, then it looked like our perfect season just slipped down the tube!! Jared was happy though, he wanted out team to loose, the only reason was because last year the 8th grade team was undefeated and he was on that team last year and he doesn't want Derek on his first year to go undefeated. So he was cheering for Milton and when Derek would look behind at him, he would say, "You guys are doing great!"

That basketball game was the most intense game I have ever watched before. Finally the last few minutes of the game, out team tied up the score, 28 to 28, the game went into over time! Oh my word every one was screaming and my throat was hurting so bad cheering all Derek's buddies on, it was crazy! Finally the got into their rhythm and they pulled ahead winning the really close game! The final score was 28 to 33! The Warriors will continue their undefeated season.

The height lights of the game were great. I always sit with my parents, mainly because I don't have any friends to sit with. Anywho, Derek got to play and when he got the ball, those boys from Milton horded him like crazy! The other highlight was that Derek's friends Sefa (don't know if I spelled that right) made a point on the other teams goal. The ball was being thrown in and the was the positions were set up was like if their were on their side. Well it was a nice shot and he used his right hand and everything, unfortunately, it counted. I felt bad for him, but at the same time it was funny!!

OK, well that's about all the news I have right now, so I am going to go and pig out and watch some TV!!! Miss you all! I was going to say, See you guys on Sunday, but I won't will I! Luv yah
