Basketball Championship

Authors Note: This is a piece for that I wrote for word choice. I would like feedback on if I used good word choice.

It’s the biggest game of the year, state championship, the moment most players wait for throughout their whole high school career. When the gym is full to capacity it changes the atmosphere, and you’re playing for the biggest game of the year, it adds a lot of tension. But that’s when you have to stay focused, and just play the game.

TWEET TWEET, the ref just blew his whistle after the final timeout. 1,2,3 Pirates, “Let’s run the play right” yelled the coach, as the players were walking back on the court. White ball, the ref said; break, the player slapped the ball and the play began. Everyone immediately started moving to their spot on the court, and finally the ball was passed in. The clock started ticking and the fans were starting to yell a little louder. There is only eight seconds left on the clock, there’s only one chance to win this game, the score was 58 to 59 they need a three to win. All the players were struggling to get open for the winning shot, the clock was at 5 seconds and finally one player got the ball and shot a three, swishhhhhh!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOO the players all race on the court, and jump on top of each other because they have just won the biggest game of the season! Final score Pewaukee 60 and Eisenhower 59. “Now let’s award our new 2012 state champions, the Pewaukee Pirates!” WOOT- WOOT-WOOT-WOOT all the players are in a circle jumping around.
