It's that time of year again; basketball season!
Last night, I got a call from my new basketball coach, Mr. Jordan (pretty sure that's what he said his name was), and I was informed that my first practice will be next Wednesday, at my school. I'm definitely looking forward to this, and I'm hoping I can get another trophy this year to add to the one on my nightstand.
Oh, that's right, there are new readers here! Let me explain how I got this trophy of mine; my first year playing recreational basketball, my coach was a coach I've had numerous times for baseball, and my one year of soccer. We called him Coach Dillon. Our team wasn't the best team; we had more losses than wins, I'm sure of that, and when the playoffs came around, we weren't ready to pack our bags just yet.
We ended up sweeping the playoffs, and winning the championship game. The underdogs came out on top, and we all got gold (not real gold, probably bronze, or something) trophies to prove it. We actually had to play a double-header on the day of the championship game, the second game being the championship, the first one being a playoff match. So, I'm actually kind of surprised we had the energy to win that.
It's actually kind of funny, the way we won. I think someone on my team made an awesome shot at the buzzer, which ended the game, and we knew we were ahead, but we all just kind of stood around, trying to figure out what just happened. My coach asked one of the referees, "Is that it?" Well, the ref broke the silence, by saying, "Yep, that's it."
It was one of the most awkward, yet funny moments of my life.
So, now you know how I got that championship trophy.
Speaking of basketball, the Celtics won their season opener against the Cleveland Cavaliers last night! I was watching NESN SportsDesk, and it sounded like a close game! Good luck Celtics!
In other news, Halloween is creeping closer, and closer, and I still need to get a costume together. Trust me, if I leave that till the end, I'll be going out without a costume this Saturday, and since my mom won't let me go Trick-Or-Treating without a costume, that basically means I won't be going at all. I'll let you know what I'm being as soon as I know exactly what that is.
One last thing; I saw this this morning, and it got a chuckle out of me.
Yours in awesomeness,

Wow, that sounds like it was an intense game! Good luck this season. I hope to hear more stories like that one soon. :)
