So what's this got to do with basketball? PLENTY! The overall instigator of getting all of us on board sent out an all-call to anybody who wanted to play basketball after school to come on out last Thursday. SAWEET! So I enlist my pal Chris to join in the fun. She breaks her neck to get back to school and here we are- a couple of one-time six on six ballers hangin out with a bunch of women who do this regularly! So we stand around and shoot around a bit and talk about graduation caps and gowns and prom dresses! Then we choose up sides and get with it! Chris is not guarding me but a really scrappy teacher is. She schools me and I hook shot her. She gets a rebound, and I almost pack her. At the end of 20 minutes, when we stopped for air and water- I had 10 points and Chris had 8. Neither of us broke a hip or turned an ankle or anything. It was a lot of fun. Heck, I wasn't even sore until two days later! Thank goodness no one had a hidden camera and snapped incriminating photos!
I flipping love basketball! March Madness is the greatest thing except for a RED SOX appearance in the World Series. On Selection Sunday, I am armed with paper and pencil to get the brackets right, fill out my brackets and join a probability study (read pool!)
I root for the locals, it they're in it, or sentimental favorites- Duke, Syracuse. On the women's side- love them Lady Vols all the time!
Right now- I am all over my Golden Suns! Gulf South Conference Champs, South Region Champs and beat the Okras from Delta State three times this year!!! Next stop- the ELite Eight in 10 days! Fight on Arkansas Tech, fight on to victory. The finals tonight was one of the best games I have ever been to, except maybe the 2002 Women's National Championship game when UConn went 39-0. I go through serious withdrawal when the last buzzer sounds in the championship game, until baseball season....
Ok woman, I am 3 games above you, what is the deal? I know you had cheerleading, but that can wait, we have ball to play, LOL..
ReplyDeleteNo, she told me to jump rope next week to stay in shape, if I am sore after Monday, I am going to skin her! Ya, know you have a key to the gym, we can play one/one! ? ???
Oh, you should have come to Wallie's Volleyball game, he and I were on the same team and we smoked the first game. I had to leave for class! He said we would be playing again, wanna play?
