1 The Friend She had practiced for weeks, months and years, Now standing on the court hearing the cheers, This was her moment to fulfill a dream, She took a deep breath and looked at her team, 5 The whistle blew and the clock countdown begin, 6 In thirty-two minutes the loss or the win, 7 And like that, the crowd went away, 8 Just her mind, her team and the ball as she began to play, 9 Breathe, dribble, shoot, pass, run and defend, 0 That orange ball was her friend, Together they had always been, Together in this championship game they would lose or win.
