alright let's update this shit.. so i played in a crazy ass basketball tournament over the memorial day weekend. I will start with last thursday..
Last Thursday-- a commonplace day for the most part. i had no school but had to work on some papers and shit.. Our first game of the GIT (Granada invitational Tournament) was at 7pm.. We were playin Luke's team who had been talking shit all year about how they were gonna beat our team. We end up beating them by 9 in a relatively easy win. I had 4 points and 10 boards with 2 steals.
Friday- The day started wondrfully enough with a business final at 9:30 am.. prob aced it but who cares because if i got a D or an A i was still gettin a b in the class. After business i had to do a pilates final. It was cool i got my relaxation on. Get home and our game is at 7 again. This time were playin Team Volleyball. A bunch of wiry hopping hoopers that didn't wanna do the dirty work and bang down low. After a rough 1st half where we only secure a four point lead we come out and blow em in the second half. We got up and down and played tough D holding them to about ten points in the 2nd half. We end up winnin by like 12. So now it's fri night and we have a game at 3 the next day. We end up playin some beer pong and traveling (walking) to the bars downtown as a big group. Were all havin drinks and shit... we end up stayin out for awhile before i bounce home to get some sleep.
Saturday-- This is the big game of our bracket Both us and the team "Peeler" are 2-0 and this game will get one of us a high seed in the tournament bracket for monday.. A heartbreaking game that we lose by four. We didn't have our point guard who had to work in sacramento so we feel like we got em if he's there. We actually had the lead for about 10 mins in the 2nd half but let it go cause they got hot from 3
Sunday-- off day from ball but i did go to work and make a lil money...
Monday-- Git TIME SON!!!!!!!!!!!! this is tournament day.. We ended up with a sixth seed. Game one we come out and the refs are killin us. Were re almost always the aggressive team but we were getting fouls called like crazy. This was by far my best game of the GIT.. they didn't have anyone that could guard me or bang with me down low. I scored 14 points combined with like 12 boards 2 assists and 3 steals.. straight dominance. Win one out of the way were hoping our buddies on team luke would knock out PEELER so we can play luke again. They lose and it's the crazy rematch.. Just to give you a quick idea of what these games were like i shall give a lil backround.. Our team consists of all white guys and our team spirit is all of us have mohawks for the GIT. Peeler is a bunch of tattooed black kids who like to talk shit and who have hyphe ass parents.. In both games we played all you can hear is their mom's and dad's complaining about the refs and the calls. Overall they weren't bad guys and never actually tried to get into it with us because honestly we were punking them down low. There success came from their point guard's speed which had all our guards beat. I tell you all of this because it made for a raucous atmosphere when you combine our fans and luke's team with our fans screaming against all their ghetto ass fans.. It was a physical game that nobody wanted to be subbed out of. They jump out on us early to a quick 11 point lead.. In the last minute of the first half we make a run and cut the lead to 4 at halftime. We come out mopping in the 2nd half as me and Dixon secure rebound after rebound and kill them as we switch from man to a 2-3 zone. we end up taking a six point lead. we maintain this all the till 1 minute and a half left in the game then turnover after turnover was forced and before you know it's a tie gme with 18 secs left. We have the ball but perry (our solid point) turns it over again in the clutch. He felt horrible afterward.. Anyways without being there it's hard to describe what happened. The game goes into Double Overtime and with the score 59 - 59 the point runs the clock down to 5 secs he drives the lane collapses he kicks to the open shooter. The rotation is made to contest the shot but as the buzzer sounds the ball swishes the net and were left to think about next year..................................................................................
this week all i have been able to focus on is finals.. I think im getting an internship at clearchannel so everyone cross your fingers... peace homies
