Basketball

Last year we always played basketball in this grass area. This year we found this volleyball and played with that. We started a rivalry between the teams. The teams were Mac and Blake verse Jonathon, Clay and I. This rivalry started in Louisville, but without Jonathon. So Jonathon was new to it. The first game we played Mac and Blake started at negative 20 and we played to 50. They beat us by 2. Both Mac and Blake fouled the heck out of us. Mac would especially foul Joanthon. For example if Jonathon was running for the ball Mac would pick him up and through him to the grown. Jonathon didn't like it at all, but he had to deal with it. Jonathon couldn't wait for the next game.


After we lost the first game we would go over to the goal a little early sometimes and practice play. We had like 7 plays, but only 3 of them kind of work. The 2 plays that worked the most were called T-Jones, B-Knight and D-Lamb. T-Jones worked the best out of all of them. the next game we were ready. Blake and Mac had also set up a play called Kemba like Kemba Walker just to makes us mad and it worked. After we had practiced all the plays we were ready to play. So the next game started and they were dominating but then we started running T-Jones. All of a sudden we were dominating. Clay and I kept dunking it and Jonathon kept swishing the threes. We ended up winning by 4. The next games Mac and Blake fouled even harder. We never won another game. We went 1 and 7 through the rivalry.

Blake, Mac and I also played basketball at a rec center in Sanibel, Florida. We all wore our Kentucky shirts so they would know where we were from. So we walked into the gym and there are a couple kids my age and a lot of people in their thirties and a couple that were really old. So the first game I played Blake and Mac were also on my team. You play to 11 and it is win by 2 in theses games. We got killed by 8 points. that is a lot considering we are playing by ones. I hit 1 three pointer which is worth 2 points. So the next game I played Mac was on my team, but Blake wasn't because he couldn't make a free throw. We still lost, but only by 3. I hit 2 three pointers this time. After that game I got the nickname Jimmer like Jimmer Fredette. So the next day we came back and when ever my team need a three pointer the counted on me. I hit most of the ones I took, But my Brother played amazing the second day. It was really fun, especially because half the people we played with had anger manangement.
