Going For Glory


Short Story

This story takes place in 2016, at South Hadley High School. The main characters are: Zack, Griffin, Alex, Austin, and Nate. Some of the minor characters are: Thomas, James, Colin, Justin, Ethan, and Ismael. This is the final year for all of these guys to do something in the playoffs, as they will be graduating in a few months. They start the season pretty well, winning 4 out of their first 5 games. Beating the pre-season projected conference winner, Putnam by 22 at Putnam. Leading scorer Austin Ford leads the team with a low 14.9. The scoring is well spread around on this team. Every player on the team gets 3 or more assists per game and 4 or more rebounds per game. Every player on this team, gets really quality chances, The Tigers play a very well organized offense, making sure everybody gets their chances to score, and everybody on the team scores.

Their next five games went the almost the same as the first five, but this time they went 5-0. They beat some pretty quality in that span, beating Central, Putnam (again), Amherst, Longmeadow, and a not so quality team in Holyoke Catholic. They out scored their opponents in that span by 88. Out scoring them 348 to 260. They held a power house offense in Putnam to a very low and below average 44 points in that game.

They were 9-1 going into the middle of January and coming out of January they were an unbelievable 14-3. They had a struggling point when point guard, Austin Ford was out two weeks with a torn hamstring. He recovered fast and they got right back to we're they left off. Winning their last 3 games of the month, by an average winning margin of 19. They went into February with only one goal in mind and that was to stay in the 1st seed of the playoffs. Which they were already in and they were in the lead by 3 games, 2nd place team Putnam is trying to make a push at first. As is every other team.

The Tigers had 4 games left against pretty weak opponents. And as expected they won all of their games. They also won all of those games comfortable as everyone figured they would.
Now they were heading into to the playoffs. What they had worked for all season long.

They won their first two games in the playoffs. Now they were in the final game of the Western Mass Championship, at the Cage in UMASS Amherst.

  3. I wonder why you didn't use more information to the story.
    I really liked how you were explaining about the playoffs.
    I discovered that this was so short and I like it.
    Amazing job with the review

  4. They ought to change the relegation rules so that if a team wins the FA Cup it avoids relegation even if otherwise destined for it. It’s an extraordinary accomplishment to win that cup and half of the teams in the Premier League never do…yet they don’t get relegated because they don’t finish in the bottom few.
