This weekend was, once again a lot of fun! I have realized that I live my life from one weekend to the next! The only reason I think I do that is because I get to play basketball. I play basketball all during the week either at practice, outside or at the Ywith my friends, but, on weekends it is full of basketball and you are with your team the whole weekend. People think that you would get sick of your teammates because you are with them at practice, in the car, in the hotel, in the gym and you eat together; honestly we really don’t get sick of each other. We have tons of fun! Also,to me, i enjoy aau over HS due to the fact there is no newspaper or gossip. We all want to win and will do anything to accomplish that goal. No one cares who scores or who gets more points because we all just want to play. I enjoy HS basketball but I find there isn’t as much gossipand pressure in aau as there is in HS. In aau, you play to learn, get better and help others with their game. We each bring something different to the court and try to help bring new things. I don’t know if it is just my experiences with aau but every team I have been on has been the same way!
This weekend we went to Poughkeepsie and won 3 out of our 4 games. We lost our very last game! There was three Division 1 prospects on the team. My teammates and I didn’t know that until after the game, which made us feel pretty good because we only lost by 6pts. We were close the whole game but we all just got tired! I really hope we play them again because I know we can beat them and we will be more determined!
