Another week of school is coming to an end! This semester is going by pretty fast already. Basketball at Western is almost done and I am sad for that. This week we had a game on Monday against UW-Richland Center. This was the second time we played them this year. The first time was a couple weeks ago and it was one of the most intense games I have played in. We ended up losing, with a little help from the referees, when we played them at their home court. That first game I had a career high of 27 points so I was really excited to play them again. We ended up winning the game on Monday against them and it felt really good to beat them at our home court. This second time we played them I had a total of 19 points. Then on Wednesday we had another game against MATC - Milwaukee Area Technical College. We really needed to beat this team in order to have our season be .500. The first time we played them was in Milwaukee and we ended up losing. This Wednesday we played them on our home court and we were hoping that would make a difference. At half time we were down by four points and we were playing really well in the first half as a team. I managed to somehow have 19 points by halftime. After the half was over we came back out but not good enough. We ended up losing by about 15 points, give or take a few. I only ended up with 23 points by the end of the game. Our team kind of fell apart and it was pretty sad. Playoffs are about to start on Monday and in order to keep going on we need to keep winning every game. The first game we play I think is against MATC - Milwaukee Area Technical College again and I really want revenge after that last game. This week should be pretty interesting and hopefully our season is not over quite yet! Today at practice we are doing a fund raiser called a freethrow-a-thon. This is where we will go out and ask people to pledge some money either a flat donation or they can donate a certain amount of money per shot I make. I then shoot 100 freethrows and collect my money. The money we make is going to the TC basketball program so we can get new things for next year like new jerseys. Wish me luck!
