one of my HS basketball memories

It was a bitter sweet feeling on the bus ride home from Niagara Falls, NY. My high school Basketball team just made it to the state semi-finals for the second time in school history. Ironically we were playing the same team that beat us the first time we made there. The game was a very close and hard fought. We never gave up and neither did they. We both wanted to get to the championship. Even though we were up by 13 at halftime we ended up losing in the end. We were heartbroken after the game. Our felt like we let a lot of people down by not winning. In the locker at the end of the game coach told us that he was proud of us for the teamwork and pride we showed while we were playing and that we were winners no matter what. We knew he was right but we came so close to our team goal and we let it slip away.
