The Countdown
12 months of blood, sweat, and tears
11 players who have turned into sisters
10 games remaining to prove our existence
9 articles undermining the quiet assassin waiting to strike
8 selfless seniors finishing strong
7 o’clock, pressures on, these are the moments we live for
6 years, the dream in the making
5th ranked team aiming higher
4 quarters to prove our destiny
3 years of trials waiting to be tested
2 losses waiting to be redeemed
1 Chance to live our dream
You can embrace many dreams in a life time and hope they come true. My dream I have embraced the last 4 years of my life is to win the state championship for basketball. 3 years have passed where a team has faced all the trials thrown at them with more practice and hard work, never giving into defeat. This is the last year, these are the last 10 games to prove and show off those years of hard work and hours upon hours in the gym. We have called ourselves the dream team, not because we are a team filled with basketball all- stars, but because we are a team who shares a dream. 10 games, that is what it has come down too. We no longer have the excuse, "I'll do it next year," this is it, it is time. We have defined ourselves as a team, a family, sisters. We have seen each other grow and at times know each other better than we know ourselves. We have always been the team under the radar, the quite assassin. A few articles and rankings will never change this. We have faced trials this season we never thought we would face. We must overcome these trials and fight hard. It is our time.
