The basketball match

We had a strike again today, so there was no class in the morning ( like the past few days ).
We had a basketball match with Mech in the evening. It was a really hard fought match. In the first quarter we were down 7-0. I scored 3 baskets after that and got our team close to their score. The match was too close for comfort. At the end of each quarter the scores were level. In fact we had 3 overtimes. In the first overtime the mech guys had a lead of 5 points. I scored a 3 pointer and then Diaz scored another 2 so we were level again. In the end we won the close fought battle by just 3 points. It was one helluva match, with all the crowd support and the resistance given by the opposite team. For us it was a real team effort, with each guy pitching in. The positives were that we never gave up at any point in the match. The only con was that, we could have converted a few more free throws. At the end of the day... I'm a happy man.
