What a day spent last night making green and black cupcakes for Gabes basketball team. The season didn't start so well but in the end we made it to playoffs and the championship, our play off game we won by one point and the championship we lost 3-13. It really hurt losing because the other team won by making all their free throws and for most of the game we couldn't even get the ball up the court. Gabriel managed to score two of the three points and another team mate scored the other point. It was nothing pretty. In my heart I really wanted the cupcakes to be victory cupcakes but that wasnt the case, as our coach headed to the center of the court to accept the second place trophy we could all see it had broken his heart as much as the youngsters he coached, we all knew the worked hard and deserved that first palce but somehow we had gotten robbed it was like a thief came and stole eveything we had worked for right before our own eyes. Although we had beaten other teams out of a chance to be here at the championship which was exciting we still wanted the first place trophy something that had a brand new shine,a new smell, look and feel, we would have rather not taken home another second place trophy we had already accomplished second place last eason, we even knew what it felt like. After leaving center court I gave Gabe the task of passing out the cupcakes my heart just couldnt handle seeing the sad little eyes who'd been beaten unfairly. The ride home was more than quiet I could tell we were all trying to figure out what had just happened we were baffled, and couldnt make any sense of it all no use in crying over spilled milk we just accepted what happened and moved on, nothing left to do but recollect ourselves and prepare for football season.
