My first North high varsity game against Kenosha-Bradford was very Exiting and interesting. But there was a small problem; I couldn't play because I was suspended. It didn't matter because I had some fun in the bench.
I arrived to the game like around six in the afternoon. My teammates were warming up for our first game of the season. Everybody was feeling a little nervous to the fact that it was the first game. Some of our teammates would say, " Let's go, we can beat this guys", thinking that the other team would let us beat them easily. The game was about to start when one of our players had forgotten his shorts. Nobody knew what to do. Then somebody replied "we"ll one of the players can switch off shorts when one is in, then when he comes out the other player can put them on". It was a good idea but nobody wanted to trade off shorts in the middle of the game and especially in front of everybody. Then I remembered that I had brought my equipment to the game and let him borrow my shorts.
The game started and it was very tight. The score was 0 to 0. Some of the players that were in the bench weren't even paying attention to the game. Then something hilarious happened, one of our players was called a foul for jumping. Some of the players were yelling to referee and saying " Are you stupid, what are you thinking". The rest of them, including me, were laughing so hard about it. Our coach was furious and couldn't believe it. Our coach was so out of control about the call that he got ejected of the game.
The JV coach had to come in to fill in his spot and tell us what to do.
With our coach ejected and no scores in the game, we were getting frustrated at halftime. We needed to score urgently. The team was confident that we could beat the other team. Then I suddenly saw one of our players starring at a tree that was behind the bench at the other side of the fence. I walked a little to the side trying to see what he was doing.
