BY ONE!!! by Erik Dunne

As the coaches argued about the fouls, at the basketball game, Joe tried to get his team pumped up. “Let's go! We can win this game! We got this in the bag!”

Sean answered, “No we don’t. They're coming back.”

Joe replied, “Way to be in a good mood,” Joe replied sarcastically Sean said, “I know, thanks.”

It was the fourth quarter and Joe’s team was winning by two points. The coach called to Joe and Charlie, “Guys! Get in the game.”

Charlie screamed, “No, they just swished like KOBE from the three!” There was "Only ten seconds remained ", so they had to get the ball up the court quickly. Charlie ran as fast as he could with the ball up the court.

Joe screamed, “Charlie over here!” Charlie looked right at Joe and then passed the ball, seeing that Joe had a great shot. Joe shot the ball; it went in and then out.

Joe hollered, “It had to be an in and out!” The score was 54 to 53. Everybody on Joe’s team was so upset, and the other team was cheeringn because they won their first game.

When the home team went into the locker room, the coach admitted, “You guys played a good game. Joe your shot should have made it, but they all can’t go in.”

Joe promised, “I will never miss from that exact shot.” So, he never did.
