I looked up at the scoreboard, sweat pouring down my neck. I could feel the intensity in the entire gymnasium as the people sat anxiously in the stands. You could cut the intensity with a butter knife that is how intense it was. There is 10 seconds left and the score is tied, East Valley High Boys and Girls Club basketball team 49, and Sacramento Youth Trotters basketball team 49. We all huddled in front of our bench listening attentively to our coach giving an emotional speech about defining moments in life.
“This is our house, this is where we belong! Right here, is where you assert yourself as great, right here is where you leave all the blood sweat and tears out on the floor, right here is where it all counts! You live for these moments!
