What the Freshman Basketball Team Does Before Practice

Benedict Gaffney, Staff Writer

The freshman basketball team starts at 4:00. So, that means we have an hour and fifteen minutes of free time. Some people do homework, some people play football, some even do some karate! I fall into the category of doing my homework; however, I play football once finished. Depending on the day, we can amass around 12 people, with the games on some days being competitive, and, on others, the opposite. It is way more fun when it is competitive. 

As the person who brings the football (and the person with the strongest, most accurate arm) I am a team captain, and either George Fagan or Max Cook is the other team captain. 

I tend to launch the ball the furthest. We don’t catch the ball a lot, but it is the most fun. Some QB’s throw short. I think if I throw short I would have a 100% completion percentage.

So, if you are reading this, come out after school and join our football games. You aren’t better than the Freshman basketball team, however.
