Double Overtime

Brandon's basketball team played their final playoff game tonight.  It was close all game long.  It ended up going into double overtime.  I guess in double overtime they decided to make it sudden death - so no time clock, just the first team to score wins.  Brandon's team did not win the tip, so they hurried back to play defense.  As the other team's point guard was dribbling up top, Brandon's teammate stole the ball.  They all hustled down on the fast break.  The shot went up but rolled out.  Brandon kept running down and grabbed the rebound.  He was right in front of the basket.  As he went up to shoot, a defender came flying out behind him to try to stop him.  Brandon got fouled hard, but was still able to get the shot off - and he made it!!!  Their team won!  Brandon did great.  His team scored 36 points, and Brandon had 18 of those.

He has really improved over the last 2 years.  He'll be sad the season is over, but it ended on a high note.  Great job, buddy!
