Even though we lost against Jones on our Senior Night, it was still a fun night. This team won't be the same without our seniors next year. To be honest I have no idea how we're going to survive without Kamau on the team. But he's off to play ball in college, and so the best of luck to him. The rest of us on the team couldn't be prouder. Shit, Coach Tony got choked up delivering Kamau's introduction, and even though he's described himself as an "emotional Italian,"it was still a bit shocking. Anyway, we lost that game by 1 point, and it came down to the last shot. We lost but we played a great game and sent our seniors off with a bang.
The City Playoff game was another matter. We played Lakeview, and instead of coming out with the win like we expected, we got blown out by 20 points. The last time we played Lakeview, we lost by 1, to the hands of 1 stout Asian kid who couldn't miss a 3-pointer if he tried. So this game, we focused all of our defensive efforts on him. And in that regard, we were a success. We limited him to only a couple shots. In his place, however, stepped up a 5'5" Hispanic kid that none of us could guard. That kid had to drop at least 20 points on us, and he ran circles around our guards the entire game. Towards the end, once all hope was lost, was my time to shine. Coach Tony put me in with 3 minutes left when we were down by about 25, at the same time Lakeview's coach put in all of their scrubs. I hit the first 3-pointer I took. Although to be fair, I did bank it off the backboard, from the top of the key. But I totally did that completely on purpose......
