Game, FH Gym, 1 p.m. FHT

[tyler-gone.livejournal.com]

The gym was ready for the game assuming nothing crazy happened during detention, with a shiny floor, clean new nets, and two perfect basketballs lolling about. Everything was ready for the rematch between the blue and gold gremlins. Last time, gold had eked out a victory; this time, it was anyone's game.

Play ball.

[OOC: Wait for OCD. This post is open throughout the day; a post for the second half will be made when we're ready for it.]

John takes the ball out and dribbles it around, trying to look cool or something.

And he sends it heading Greg's way, not entirely sure if that's the right way or not.

Greg had no idea. But he caught it.

He immediately passed it to Conner, figuring they were probably on the same team if that had been who passed to him originally. Which, in turn, meant that if John was gold, and Conner was too...then he was on the gold team!

Yes, this boy was often praised for his intelligence. Apparantly there was some exaggeration at work or something.

As was made painfully evident by the trajectory (or lack thereof) of his shot, Conner still hadn't quite gotten the hang of this whole shooting thing, because hello, soccer player.

Airball.

Ouch.

Peter jumped up to grab Conner's "shot" as it came back down. He looked up towards the basket but was at an odd angle so he dribbled to the side and passed to Cameron. Who hopefully was in a better position.

Tyler got close to guard Cameron from grabbing the ball, a look of fierce concentration on his face.

As Cameron couldn't find a way around Tyler, he turned and passed back to Peter, hoping he had more room to move now.

Peter snagged the pass out of the air and, finding himself free of defenders, shot the ball.

And missed.

Conner snagged the ball, pivoted out kind of awkwardly, and dribbled himself down the baseline into the corner. He thought he saw Greg open, so he fired a chest pass toward him.

Greg caught it, reeling back a little, and found himself almost directly under the basket.

He jumped up, trying to do one of those really cool dunks...and failed, causing the ball to bounce off the rim and ricochet towards Tyler.

Tyler raised his eyebrow at Greg, slightly annoyed by the missed shot. He caught the ball and started dribbling to the other basket.

Anders thought he saw an opening to steal the ball, and Lords of Kobol only knew how he managed to succeed without incurring a foul. He even had a good opening for a shot, which he took -- and much to his own amazement, actually made.

Sure, the ball bounced off the back of the rim, teetered precariously for a few moments, and then finally rolled in, but a shot was a shot, right?

Re: 1st half, 2nd 5 minutes

Tyler grabbed the ball and took it out to the sidelines, trying to see a clear path to the basket.

He couldn't so he aimed a high pass to Greg, hoping he'd make the shot this time.

Re: 1st half, 2nd 5 minutes

Greg caught it, hoping the same thing.

He did, this time. But barely.

Who cares? He got one in. Go him.

There might have been a tiny bit of dancing, but he wouldn't admit it.
