This week we have a game on Friday. We are playing Mooresville. From what I have heard they are not that good because they were not good last year. We ended up winning the game against Alexander Central on Friday. We won 53-22. They sucked, like legit. During the game though I injured my knee. There was a loose ball and I just wasn't going to stand there and watch the other team get it so I decided to dive on the floor and get it. While I dived the other dude dived as well, mind you this was a pretty big dude and when he dived he tripped and fell on me knee. Other than that the game went good. Honestly I think we can go undefeated this year. The only tough game I see us having is against Reagan and West Forsyth other than that we are going to kill everybody else.

Yesterday we had our second basketball game. We won, the score was 56-38. I played terribly. I could not hit a shot to save my life but all that matters is that we got a win. Our next game is on Friday against Alexander Central at their place. We do not know a lot about how they play but I am pretty confident that we will do good and win. We have the potential to go undefeated this year because that is how much talent we have this year. We just have to get better at practice because we are very lackadaisical when it comes to practice. It is early in the season so we have time to fix that. If we don't fix how we practice then when conference play comes around we are going to get smacked. This is because we are in a very competitive conference so it is hard to just do enough to get by.
Today is the final Basketball tryouts. There is going to be a final cut after practice today. I am feeling good about my chances of making the team because I showed out yesterday and I think that it helped my appearance. If I do end up making it I am really looking forward to this season. I feel like that I haven't played basketball in forever. I am better at basketball than I am at football b I just work on football more.
This weekend I made a connection. This weekend it was Lebron James debut at the Staple Center where his team the Los Angeles play at for their home games. Towards the end of the game his teammate Rajon Rondo spit on his best friend, Chris Paul. Then a whole brawl started and the everybody was backing their teammates up. I think that that is the attitude that me, Avery, and Zymier have to have this upcoming basketball season. It is good to have a reputation that you are a dog on the court. Then people will not mess with as much because they know what they are going to deal with. Also that mentality will help with the overall team chemistry because then every one we go against will know not to mess with us because word will end up getting out how we are good.
On Saturday I went to the YMCA for about 3 hours to play basketball but that is the only thing that I have done towards the goal. Tryouts are in a month and I think that I am ready but nervous at the same time. It has gotten to that point in the year where football is getting boring and I am ready for the season to be over so I can play something different. Most of it is because we are losing and that gets old real quick. Don't get me wrong I like playing the sport but we have been practicing and playing since the beginning of the summer. Other than that we have tried to set up dates were all three of us can meet up at the y and play together and get out chemistry right but we go on different days. Zymier just got another cast on and at the rate he is going I don't know when he will be able to play. He can play football because the trainers can just wrap it up into a big cast and that is it, but with basketball he can't because you need both of your hands to play.
Personally I haven't made any progress on the project except for Saturday. On Saturday I went to the YMCA for an hour and played but other than that I have not had any time for basketball. This week I plan on going to play because I need to get into shape and I need to get the rust since I haven't actually played basketball in like 2 months. I can't just go in to tryouts after 2 months thinking I am going to go and just tear it up. It will take time. Me, Avery, and Zymier are behind because me and Avery do not have basketball conditioning like most of the returning basketball players. Zymier does have basketball conditioning but he broke his finger and he is in a cast so he can't participate in that right now. Zymier will be out of his cast on the 24th and by then we will have 2 weeks to get ready for try outs. We are honestly aren't tripping on if we are going to make the team or not because we all know our potential and what each of us are capable of. All we have to do is have to play to our strengths and make each other better. For right now though our main focus is football right now and that is going to continue to be our main goal until football season in over.
Blog For the genius hour project me, Avery, and Zymier have decided to work together. We are going to base it around the basketball team. Each of us want to make the basketball team and we have our separate goals that we are going to try to accomplish before the season is over. My personal goal is to make the team, when the season starts I want to be able to start, and average at least ten points and five assist. As of right now we really do not have time to work towards our goal because all of us are playing Football right now. We decided to work together because we have the same subject and we are doing the same part so we decided that it would be better if we do it together r so we can help each other accomplish our personal goals and also build team chemistry. I think that this will go well because we played pickup games together at the y all summer so that will translate to the real court.
