Win Some, Lose Some

So it was a battle for 3rd for the first ever ArcherPride Cup.

It was a humid afternoon in the Metro but that didn't stop the players to be pumped up for the game.  After all, bragging rights is again in store for this game.  Last time we played against the other team, I had the winning shot.  We won by 2.

Play started with both teams running.  Fast breaks here and there.  Perimeter shots, layups, 3 point shots, shots ala-Samboy Lim.  You name it you got it.

Fast forward to the remaining seconds of the game.  6 seconds to go.  Game is tied.  We sued for time.  I got the inbound pass from the left foul line extended.  I dribbled twice, trying to waste some more time.  With 3 seconds to go, I drove and pulled up for a jump shot on the left flank.

Clunk.

Game goes into overtime.

The other team outscored us in OT and the game was lost.  We're fourth.

I was entrusted to take the game-winning shot but I missed.

You can't have everything.
