I Could Have Done This... If I Wanted To.

I know I promised I would post about the Amway Arena and haven't done it yet so I will tell about that first off. It was alot of fun. We left our highschool at 10:45 in the morning and arrived about 45 minutes later at the Amway Arena (just for general knowledge, the Amway Arena is where the Magic play basketball and alot of other things. Concerts, arena football, hockey, you know). We then headed inside and stepped onto the court. It was so different being ON the floor instead of the "O-zone" (top of the stadium), but it really messed my shot up. Instead of seeing a hoop and then 5 feet later a white wall, we looked for hundreds of feet into empty seats. So then we went into one of the locker rooms and it was probably a reasonably small one compared to what the Magic use. But then we went back out onto the court and warmed up. Soon we began the game and we stayed with the other team for a while. I actually got in probably more than any other eighth grader (I'm not to sure why but okay... Hey, I was happy). It was soo much fun. I even got to play with Robbie for a little while so that was cool. Especially when we both double teamed and trapped a kid in the corner and forced the ball out of bounds. GO ME... and ROBBIE TOO!!!!! So anyways it was a lot of fun even though we ended up losing. Then we came back and watched the Magic take down the Heat. It was AMAZING. Well that's all for that.


In other related news JV finsished up our season last night playing against a team who was really good and had 15 players who were all very good against our 7 who are also all very good. Not to mention 2 of ours were sick (1 missed the game because of it the other came) and 2 of our best players fouled out. It wasnt good but we still finsished with an amazing season and the best in ICS history... 12-6 was our final record. I really can't wait for next season.
