Got an invite from my mate CJ to see if I wanted to play some basketball tonight. It’s for a team I used to play with, before Monday night rehearsals took up my life. Aptly (or is it Ironically?) named Team Victory, we’re a D Division team in the Salvation Army League that plays on Monday nights.
Tonight, we lived up to our name. A close match all the way through, when the final buzzer sounded the scores were 28-29, Team Victory ahead, with the opposition having 2 Free Throws. He missed the first, then got the second. A Draw. Still pretty good. Then when the ref’s checked the score card, they realised that the scoreboard was wrong, and the scorer had missed putting a goal up – in our favour! We won 31-29.
I had a great time (though about half an hour after the game I’m still slightly catching my breath), and am looking forward to getting back into the action. Fun stuff that happened tonight: About 5 minutes in, I decided to chase down a player going for the basket. I went too hard for my legs (which hadn’t really done much extreme physical activity since I quit basketball a year and a half ago), and they decided to collapse under me. I scored an Ally-oop, getting an offensive rebound and shooting it in mid air, scoring my only points for the match. On the way home, I wasn’t exactly with it, and ended up running a red light… thankfully there was no-one around.
