There is a certain special thing in every ones life that you can be especially proud to be a part of. Something that you give all that you have to give to it. Only because you it means that much to you. I sit back on these final days of my high school chapter of life. I reminisce about the good times I’ve had it’s clear. For me that special thing is basketball. That is why I chose to complete my high school project using basketball as my subject. So I will take you through our season and explain to you why it was one of the best memories of high school.

These enable us to stay fresh and in flow with the game of basketball during the off-season so we don’t lose our touch. Then at the end of June we go to a team camp.
