"A Stressful Last Home Basketball Game"


On February 15, 2013, I hosted a Cancer Benefit Game.
The participants of "the half-court" shot took apart of the fame.
All proceeds went to Gilda's Club, a Cancer Support Charity.
This charity is a non-profit organization with assistance to help mend the wearily.

The stress of the preparation of the Benefit Game was enormous.
I had to make flyers, posters and other stuff that was important.
I was not sure if I was going to be able to pull it off,
but with the help of Mrs. Collentine and Coach Millan I did not feel so lost.

It was finally the big half-time show that everyone was waiting for.
My nerves of saying a speech in front of the big crowd shook me up like never before.
However, I took a deep breath and took it all that I had accomplished.
All of my struggles seemed to disappear after the "half-court" shot started.


The Lady Knights played our rivals, Cresskill.
We wanted this game so bad, it gave some people a chill.
The game was so close we had it in our hands,
it just so happened they unfortunately took the stand.
