Josh is playing on a basketball team at the RISE. They are coached by a young girl who is doing a nice job. Josh is one of the more experienced kids on the team. They are all small.
They were playing in a game today. It was low scoring - as most of them are. Josh had 3 points and they were trailing 5 to 8 with 30 seconds to go. They needed a 3. They have been working on 3-pointers in practice, but his team is little and they struggle to get the ball to the basket.
They threw the ball into Josh who dribbled down the court fighting off several kids. He stopped on the upper-left side of the three point arc, pulled up and nailed a three pointer to tie the game at 8. Nothing but net! The crowd went crazy. Time expired and the game was over. Tie game with no overtime.
This was Josh's first 3-pointer ever! I mean EVER. He has been close many times in practice. To get it at that point in the game was crazy.
