GAME? CAMERA? ACTION!!!!!

Last night Zachary had a basketball game. Of course, Mom forgot the camera (bummer, sorry).

First quarter he was the point guard. He scored six points. They were trying to make noise on the bench, but since they only had one extra player, the coach decided to put ZACHARY on the bench because he has a big mouth. Zachary was on the bench for three minutes, screaming like crazy.

Fourth quarter the other team scored twice to make it 22-18. They were winning. They drove down court and Zachary made a lay-up. The next time down the court, one of our players got fouled. He made one shot, making it 22-21. They stole the ball on defense and passed it to Zachary. He went up for a lay-up and got fouled with seven seconds left. One of his teammates came up to Zachary and told him to just make one! The first freethrow and he makes it - no problem. Zachary said afterwards that he wanted to shout "Game Over" right then. He thought that he was going to hit the speakers on the ceiling or Daniel in the face (teammate). Zachary got the ball from the ref and dribbled it three times on the ground. Just as he was about to shoot, everything went silent. He shot it up and got nothing but net! That makes it 22-23 (Zachary's team was winning). The clock said seven seconds left.

Zachary's team stole the ball as they were coming down court and the other team smacked it out of bounds. Point seven seconds left! One of our players was getting ready to throw the ball in and Zachary was standing on the side where the other team was trying to shoot. Everyone was shouting to throw it to the other end, because there was no way to make a basket from the other side of the court. Instead, Elijah throws it to Zachary right by their hoop. Luckily, the guy guarding Zachary didn't break three feet off the ground. Zachary was able to grab it and the clock buzzed.

It was a very exciting game. Mom loved it! Elyse was bored (as usual). Afterwards, every time Zachary wanted to say something, Elijah would say, "Everybody shut up, the MVP is talking."
