SLAM DUNK! oh yes that's right i just got the biggest slam dunk in the history of basketball. I jump stopped in the middle of the key way leaped over 3 players and dunked it over their heads plus one of them fouled me so i then got one foul shot. I'm not usually good at shooting but today I was on FIRE! I could shoot the most random shots and they would go in. I got a 3 point buzzer beater shot at half time, it was so cool. We just got back from the locker rooms and Becky Hammond (our coach) thought we should celebrate such a great win. we have never won by so much 52-174 that is a big difference. I won the MVP award again, it was just so exciting. Basketball is my passion and tonight I proved to everyone including myself that I can do it. I hope to play for Australia one day and these are just the building blocks to get there.
