Basketball Benefits

This basketball season was the greatest season of my life as a high school basketball player. I got a really good season on the court before I graduate and that's all that really matters to me. The thing I'm really excited about is that a lot of people in Phoenix have been watching me play and they want me on the Arizona senior team next month, I got player of the week in week 9, and they want me to play for the all-star Arizona team coming up too. I love how basketball is paying off. Basketball is what I want to make of my life. It's not a hobby it's a lifestyle. This season we didn’t have a big team, but when we stepped on the court with our small team we showed everybody we played against that we were serious about basketball and we showed them our love for the game. My love for the game is never ending. Without basketball I can’t imagine the terrible things I’d be into right now, so I am very thankful that basketball came into my life and made me a better person in the process. I would like to thank everybody that showed their support for our small team in Dolan Springs Arizona, but we did one thing that everybody thought was impossible. We put Dolan Springs on the map! Go Panthers!

Basketball State Playoffs

On Saturday we played a game in Phoenix against another team in the playoffs. It was a pretty close game although we could’ve done better. We won the game, but we could have done way better than we did. I can’t complain though because we won the game. We didn't win by much, but it was enough to advance s to the next round. The team and I are really excited because if we win our game tomorrow then we are officially in the state finals. I can't explain how much this means to me especially because it's the first time ever that our time has made it to state and I’m very excited and happy to be where we are right now. It’s crazy what you can do in a small town like Dolan Springs, but it just goes to show that anything is possible if you put the work in. If you fight for what you want then eventually you will get it. It just depends how badly and long you’re going to fight for it. This has been the best school year of my life and I wouldn’t change anything about it. This school is like my second home and I’ll never forget what it made me become.

Favorite Holiday

My favorite holiday would have to be Valentine’s Day. The reason I chose Valentine’s Day out of all the other holidays is because my birthday is two days before Valentine’s Day and I just think that Valentine’s Day is a great holiday because you get to celebrate it with that special person in your life that you would do anything for. Valentine’s Day is pretty much a couple’s day and you go way out of the ordinary to make them happy and smile. Haven’t really had anybody when it comes to Valentine’s Day, but I still love the holiday because everybody’s always happy and smiling and it’s just one of the very few days where people are actually getting along with no fighting. Everybody’s running around stressing about what they’re going to get their valentine and I just think it’s awesome. It makes my day. Valentine’s Day is about love and showing the appreciation that you have with the person you love the most. That’s pretty much why I love Valentine’s Day. It’s an awesome holiday with tons of love to be shared for everyone. I don’t even have a valentine and it’s my favorite holiday ha-ha. What’s your favorite holiday? Share with everybody and explain why.
