(no subject)
I'll update about my sleepover later...but now, I've got something else on my mind. I shouldn't have gone to my basketball game. I pretty much knew my team was gonna lose, but it was our last game so I wanted to finish up the season. everything fell apart at the game....everything.
our coach came up to us before the game and said "i've got an idea to beat this team. let's stall the whole game and never shoot". no, i kid you not, my coach really said that. of course everyone was like "what the heck, why would we do that?" and he was like "because, then they wouldn't rack up the points on us." but w/e, we all agreed not to do that, so instead we play normally. they got a lead from the start and we played the whole first half down by 10+ points. i never even got a shot off in the 1st half. not one, because that #10 from the black team (who IS their WHOLE team, like she scores 95% of their points) was guarding me man-to-man.
anyway, in the 2nd half we all go in and now the black team had a 20+ lead so by the rules they had to stay in the paint....meaning that they couldn't guard you on 3-point shots. so, i was finally able to get some shots up. i passed it to amelia and this other girl jennifer a lot cause they are good shooters, but amelia didn't want to shoot 3's so i just would pass it to Jennifer. Well, between the 2 of us we hit 4 3-pointers and then the other team called a timeout. when we got to the bench, everything fell apart. coach was like "why isn't everyone shooting?" (i'll break in here and say that everyone WAS shooting, Jennifer and i had just shot the last few times). anyway he asked that and then this other girl was like "because those two (pointing at jennifer and me) are ball hogs...they only pass it to eachother and they don't let anyone else shoot." Jen and i looked at eachother and were like "what the heck?" so, yah...she got mad and started crying so coach sat jennifer and me down i guess to please that girl that called us ball hogs. when we got back in the game we were like "ok, should we just not shoot?" then the other girl amelia was like "shoot! I don't want to and you guys can make 3's". THEN everythnig really does COMPLETELY fall apart....amelia and brittany (the girl that says i don't pass the ball to anyone but Jen) both go off the court (while the game's being played) and go over to another game in tears.
all the rest of us are like "what on earth?" so before we know what's going on coach forfeits the game (mind you, the championship game) and we all just kinda sit around...we shake the other team's hand and then all kinda disperse. i start to freakin' cry for several reasons 1) i was operating off of 4 hours of sleep so i was a little on the edge already, 2) i felt like 2 of the girls just quite at the last minute, and 3) because in all the years i've played sports (not just bball) I've never been called a ball hog, so that just really hurt. i talked to several of the girl's on my team mom's and they were like "ignore that girl, u aren't like that," but still.
before i left i went over to talk to amelia and brittany who were sitting on the bench watching another game. i was like "so, both of u aren't gonna talk to me?" and brittany was like "nope, not for a while" and the other girl was like "no, i will...i'm not mad @ you...it was the coach". that's when i found out that just like brittany had yelled @ me for being a ball hog, the coach had apparently yelled @ amelia for NOT shooting a 3-pointer eventhough she didn't want to.
omg, i just feel sooooooo rotten right now. i was feeling so good today cause i had had all my best friends over, and it was so fun, but that game just ruined it all. i wish my friends were still here cause i really wanna talk to them now, but w/e...the journal will have to do. I just feel like lying down on my bed and sleeping through the rest of the day. i mean, i know that i'm not a ball hog, or like, cocky or anything...but i can't stand that someone thinks i am. I think i am gonna go crawl into bed now....there's absolutely nothing better to do. :-/
