Go Rockets - to the championship

Good job Rockets!!  We won today's game so we are advancing to the championship game.  When we got to the gym this morning, we were told that we have two players sick and not sure if they will play.  I thought to myself please don't be Zach.  The coach disappointed me and said Zach is not feeling well.  He'll be here but not sure if he can play. While warming up, I saw Zach walking in and I thought, 'what a trooper, come to support the team when you are sick too.'  Turns out, he was ready to play and we're glad that he was, the result may be different if he wasn't.  See, Zach is a very small kid (may be just under 5' and skinny) and he's only in 6th grade but he's a big part of the team.  He's actually a very good all around player.  Had he been a regular size kid, he would have dominated the league.

Anyway, we ended the first half with 23-6 us leading.  Thinking we had this in our pocket.  So we sit Zach for the third quarter and boy it was a scary quarter.  We ended the third quarter with 28-26, only a 2 point lead.  The other team had like 16 unanswered point.  The game just came out of our pocket and jumped up in the air.  My heart was pounding.

Last quarter, Zach was back in and quickly we pulled away finishing up the game with 50-26.  I think the 3rd quarter woke everybody up.  The last quarter was a very well played quarter.

Thursday opponent is a much better team.  It's going to be a good game.  We need to be awake for the whole game.  Let's go Rockets.
