The bleached white spherical ball

Struck against her hand

She slammed the ball down 

It becoming one with the rigid maroon floor

The ball barreled by

Right in between our deep crimson jerseys 

Splintered tears filled my cavernous brown eyes

The vivid red “14” blinking on the scoreboard above us

Turned “15” despite our efforts

A sea of happy faces from the crowd across from me

The one behind me though…

Was filled with despair

The magnificent story came to an end

Without the gleaming gold around our necks

This piece was hard for me to write because it was the section championship game that we lost. It was also my last game with our seniors, specifically the last point of the game.
