"I got this." I said to myself as I looked at the clock while dripping the ball in my head.
In my head I started to think of plays of how I could score the winning point with only 15 seconds left and a opponent teammate guarding me.
"I could do a cross over and dribble the rest of the way to the 3 pointer line." I though while cautiously looking at the girl guarding.
"12 seconds left; I have to act now!"
Putting my play into action I swiftly went pass the person guarding me while dribbling the ball.
"OOOOOOO" The crowd goes crazy after realizing I just crossed her.
I passed the ball to my teammate whom was open while running to get an open shot.
"You better not take that" I said as I watch my teammate who was being guarded by two people tried to make a shot. She noticed that, that wasn't going work so she started to look around for teammates who were open.
I started jumping up and down while waving my hands.
She through me the ball but I slipped from my hands causing the opponent team to steal it.
I could see our parents and other fans either putting their hands in the their hand or throwing their hands up in disbelief.
But I'm not going to let that stop me.
"10 seconds left on the clock!" The man on the intercom said.
I quickly ran to the opponent team who had the ball and successfully stole the ball back.
The crowd goes wild as I run back down the court but it's only 5 seconds left, "I'll never make it!", I thought to myself.
Thinking fast I went to the half court line and shot the ball.
Everything went in show motion as the ball bounced off the back board and successfully went through the hop!
Everyone began to cheer as my teammates and coach ran to me throwing me in the air which was filled with laughter and joy.
"You did it NG!", Coach Johnny said with a huge grin.
"Hey, Naomi Grace could I get a few words with you?" A new reporter said.
"Of course.", I didn't even know the news crew were coming! I'm glad I played my heart out to night I thought to myself.
I quickly followed him where they were recording.
"Naomi Grace, you played your heart of tonight what were your thoughts when you were seconds away from scoring the winning point?", he asked while putting the microphone to my face with a anxious look.
"I thought that I was going to make it, but with God in my side I knew it was possible!"
"Is there anything you would lik-"
"Excuse me, are you Naomi Grace Wayne?"
I looked up to see a y'all white guy with a Santa Ana High school cap on.
"Yes that's me." I said with a confusing face because that is one of the best basketball basketball schools in the United States. Women and Men. What is he doing here?
The news camera man stopped looking through the camera and pulled his attention to us following the rest of the crew.
"I am Gary Washington from Santa Ana High school located in California. I am the head coach of the girls team at the school. I heard a lot about you and I can down here to Benton Harbor to see if the News Articles were true. I don't wanna beat around the bush so I'm going to tell you that I have a spot for a talent girl with a big dream on my team and I fell that you are excellent for that spot. I was wondering if you would like to to move to California to be apart of my team. I know it won't be easy so that's why I will play for all expenses including rent, bills, and school bills If you agree. So what do you say?"
