Senior Night was February 11, and it became a very special night for Tori. She got to play in her first game. Even though it was the last home game of the season, and they were playing Lakewood, Tori got to play. Wilson beat their team last time they played, and at the last 4 minutes of the game, Byron put Tori in...
Tori told me at the beginning of the season, that she didn't want to play. She said she didn't care. I kept telling her that even if she got to play for 1 minute, to go in and make her debut. So....she ran in, to a cheering crowd. It was wonderful that everyone was cheering for her. She played her defense, and I could tell she was holding back. She was scared, and her knee was sore.
But, She played her best defense that she could, and then as they ran down on offense, she was tossed the ball. She poised, and I cringed....she shot...and it went SWOOSH! She shot a 3 pointer! The crowd went CRAZY! Everyone was cheering! It was awesome!
Now..doesn't that sound like a dream that you wish you could play over and over because the reality was that it was a dream, and the reality was, that you missed the shot?
This was reality...and it was Tori's. I am so proud of her...she came off the court at the end of the game, and afterwards, she told me, that she was so glad she got to play...
HUGS!
