Short Story
I asked my mom where my game was, and she told me it was at New Knoxville School. We hopped into the car and on the road by the school it said, "SHCOOL." I was thinking to myself, that school isn't really cool. The school is by a pond so on the parking lot sign it said, "Frog Parking Only- All Others Will Be Toad." I went into the school and practiced before my game. Then it was time to get on the court, for tip off. During my game we were losing by 3 points. At 5 seconds left into my game, Ella gave me an amazing pass, and I took a half court shot. The shot was smoother than Stephen Curry's.
