Basket Ball

Last week, our basket ball season is over.
In that week we had 4 games against Harrison, Bronxville, Lincoln and Blind Brook.
To go to the sectionals, we have to win all 4 games.

At the first game against Harrison, we did not fight against them this year, so we do not know how it goes.
It was a home game, and from beggining past 1 minutes, Harrison got scored 6 points and we were nothing.
In that playing, they pressed us from beginning, and also their pressing is new style that we did not have experience.
Last year, we fought against them and at first game, we lost by 8 points, but at the second home game, we won be 2 points.
So we know that it would be so hard games, but this year they were stronger than last year, I thought.
We lost that game, so we could not have a dream to go to the sectionals.
However the season was not over so we decided to do our best and win all the games at that time.

At the second game is against Bronxville.
It was away game and that team is our league.
That team, we had experience with them, so we know how it goes.
The last game against them, we lost by lots of points.
So we want to revenge them.
At first, we were better than before, but we lost by 3 points.
We were so regreted.

At the third game is against Lincoln.
It was last home game, so we had spirit like wearing boy's school uniform.
With that team, we had experienced with Keio Tournaments.
We won at the tournament, so we have confidence.
However we never lost the spirits.
between the quarter, we were almost same points, but we won that game!!
I was so happy, and thanksfull for seeing our game.
At that game, so many people came to see the game.
The cheering is so vigorous!
And my friends, Nagisa and Mariko made the big poster for us.
It said "Last Home otukare!" with our names.
I was cried and so appriciate for them and everybody.

Finally, the last game is against Blind Brook.
It was so strong team, maybe last year or year before last, they were champion.
I know it goes so hard game, but we felt like never give up.
It was last away game.
We lost by many points, but that game, we did our best and we scored more points than before.
Then, our season is over.
I could not cry.
I wanted to have dream.
I do not think like it was over, so I wore the uniform for a long time lol
Then we took picture a lot and we had dinner together at the rotunda.
Eri's mother made us deliciouse stickey rice!
It was kinako, sesame and red beans.
We were thanksful for her.
It was so yummy!!!!
Then boys basketcall's captain, Happy gave us the message and our captain Kana gave them a cheer message.
Then our season is over.

I started playing basketball from 7 th grade, for 1 year and half, and I continued playing for 3 seasons.
It was really great time.
I think I do not play basketball anymore, but the I want juniors go to sectional next season.
Gambare!
And also I appriciate for all suporters, managers, my friends and team mates!

I think it was the best with this team, with this team mates.
