As I am running down the court
Getting a hoop is my only thought
My shoes are squeaking on the floor
The crowd is asking for even more
Do I pass or do I shoot
Maybe there is another route
Just a few seconds until the buzzer goes
One point down and we are all on our toes
"We are open" my team-mates say
But the ring is only metres away
I decide to shoot as the buzzer rings
"We have won the game" all my team sing!
