This trimester I've planned on going to every basketball game but haven't gone to any because I either had too much homework or didn't feel well. So Tuesday I knew I had to go. Had to had to. After all it was destined to be the last high school basketball game in our building ever. Wow, deep.
Plus my spirit outfits hadn't been worn for awhile.
I had to convince my friend Kaylee not to study for her stats test to come with me. (She did well on it later, so it all worked out.) We showed up in time for the halftime show. The Bobcadudes performed...Madison newest and greatest school club. They are amazing and our whole school loves them. I had been waiting to see them forever. Go Bobcadudes!
The score was comfortably ahead, but Highland started to catch up and eventually got ahead. Some Madison doubters began to worry.
However, in the last 17 seconds of the game Madison pulled it through and tied up the score for overtime. It was crazy. In the words of our star basketball player, "Our gym sounded like the inside of a jet engine." The crowd was crazy. We didn't know how crazy things were going to get! In overtime Madison once again pulled ahead only to have Highland tie up the score in the last 2 seconds. Literally! Oh it was CRAZY. Kaylee and I and pretty much everyone else was simply dying. It was the most intense game I had ever been to. In double overtime we got behind by five. The spirit section was praying.
Were we sunk? Heck no, Madison has faith! With seconds to spare we got ahead by a whoppin' one point. Highland desperately hurled the ball at the basketball in the final seconds, it hit the rim, but didn't go in. The entire gym went insane. We were victorious!
I wish I could really paint the picture of the mood and atmosphere of that game; it was just so incredible.
Madison is Awesome and we're going to state! Hopefully Highland does too, because really, they were also awesome. Maybe not as awesome, but awesome nevertheless. :)
