Alumni basketball game
My sister and I played in an alumni basketball game Saturday evening at our former high school. There were about 20 ladies to come back to play in the alumni game.
The alumni players were split into two groups. The first group was 1989-2006. The second group was 2007-2012. The alumni played against each other frist. We played a 20 minute half. That broke down to subbing about every four minutes. The group I played in, 1989-2006, most of the players were easily winded. When I made it onto the court, I was happy to be sprinting up and down the court with the younger alumni players.
After the first 20 minutes was over, all of the alumni joined to create one team. The huge alumni team scrimmaged the current varsity girls basketball squad. Since there were so many of us on a team, about every two minutes, a new group of five would sub in.
I had fun. My basketball skills are not what they used to be. I haven't played in years. But I could still dribble down the court without looking at the ball. I did get stuffed by a taller varsity player while attempting a left handed layup and I had two fouls.
Since so many alumni came back to play, we didn't get much playing time. I had no problems running up and down the court and was hardly out of breath. I wanted to keep playing. Oh well. It was great to see so many people that I shared a court with. I hope that this alumni basketball game will become a yearly activity.
