Impressive
Lyssa got dressed fast and walked into the gym. Mr. Armstrong walked out with a couple of basketballs in is hands.
Listen up, this semester we are playing basketball. I will pick two captains for today and you will be split up into two teams.
Most of the girls start to groan, I don't want to play basketball. Finally something I'm good at Lyssa said to herself.
Okay for captains I'm going to choose one boy one girl. Marco you're the boys captain, Lyssa you're the girls. Remember the teams are coed and you can pick whoever you want. Lyssa you have first pick.
Okay I pick Jimmy. She said, looking at Jimmy
I pick Kevin. Said Marco who was now looking at Lyssa.
Spinner.
Chris.
Manny.
Terri.
Emma.
Liberty.
Danny.
Jared.
Okay we have our teams, lets see what you got.
Okay I'm going to run the point with Jimmy, we will switch of with shooting guard and point guard. Spinner your gonna
be our center. Emma your at power forward. Manny small forward. Everybody got it? she said to her team.
Whats a power forward?
Points to the spot that Emma will stand.
We finally get to see her play. Spinner said to Jimmy quietly.
Yea, but she seems to know the game pretty well.
Everyone walks onto the court Spinner and Kevin are jumping. Lyssa gets the possesion and starts to bring up the ball, Marco is defending her she crosses over and drives past him and passes the ball to Jimmy, she cuts to the basket and take the lay-up. ItS GOOD! Everyone is surprised at what just happened.
I have a feeling she is going to make the team. Jimmy said to Spinner.
I think your right. He replied.
The game continued…
Everyone get dressed the bell is going to ring soon. Lyssa can I talk to you for a second?
Lyssa walks up to Mr. Armstrong.
Yea sure whats up coach? she asks him curiously.
That was some pretty impressive playing out there.
Thanks, I've been playing since I was three, I pretty much grew up around the game, and my dad is a coach.
It shows, and you have a good chance of making the team if you keep that up. He smiled at her and told her to go get dressed.
In the girls locker room Lyssa just walked in.
Where did you learn how to play like that? Emma asked while she walked up to Lyssa.
I've been playing basketball most of my life.
You're really good to bad we don't have a girls team.
It doesn't matter, because I'm trying out for the boy's team.
That's awesome, how did you let them to let you try out? She said excitedly.
There's something in the constitution about it.
Section nine right.
Yeah how did you know?
I believe in equal rights.
Cool me too.
By this time Lyssa was already dressed. They both laughed as the exited the locker room still talking.
When you make the team let me know, I will definetly come and watch you play.
Yea, no problem.
They parted there ways and went to class. The rest of the day went pretty slow. It was the end of the day and she went to go meet Sean.
Finally! Lyssa said aloud as she started to walk towards her locker.
