Our school has about 2000 students in it. Every year the seniors can sign up for a random drawing (and there are rumors that this "drawing" isn't really random, but I signed up my senior year for the annual student-staff basketball game. I got picked, and so we had 2 mandatory practices late at night, then the game. The game was played towards the end of the day for the week day in the 2nd semester before finals. I got picked, and out practices were us all slitting up into two teams and playing each other in a game. I know that our practices were horrible. We were literally running into each other most of the time. We were not good. Our coach was one of the 3 Mr. Ginders at the school. He was one of the vice principals and he was going to be playing for the teachers, our own coach, playing against us in the game :o But come gameday, we were ready. We had to win to make it a 3 year succession of the students beating the teachers. We got off to an early lead in the first half, and I scored a 2-point basket that increased our lead, and when anyone of the students scored a basket, all the students would roar. If you never had that many people cheer for you at one time it's an amazing feeling. I was able to make the buzzer shot for the first half, but missed the shot sadly. It was the 2nd half that we knew the teachers would really step up the game, and we lost big time. We were down 5, then 8, then 14, then 20 before we knew it. We couldn't handle them like we did in the first half. Our coach warned us that the teachers go easy on us the first half to kinda get our hopes up, but then they unleash thier power. Those teachers on the court, they meant business. We just couldn't produce.
