Basketball Season Broken…or Not

By: Anna H.

Thirty seconds left, all tied up, other team has the ball. They went in for a layup but they missed. The ball goes bouncing up and down but the other team got it again with only 15 seconds left in the game. The girl that I was guarding had the ball, she tripped and the ball slipped right out of her hands on to the ground. I went and dove for it but the other girl went for it too and she rolled right over my hand. At that moment I thought that I had broken my wrist and couldn’t finish the season.

      My mom, dad and I left immediately to go to urgent care and I was in really bad pain. We got there and it felt like we were waiting in the waiting room for hours. Finally we got to the room and they took x-rays. After that they went back into the room where we were and I thought they were going to say that I had broken my wrist, but they didn’t. The doctors said that I just had a sprained wrist and I could play basketball for the rest of the season!

     The next day I was playing with my team again and having fun. I was so glad that it was just a sprain because I really wanted to play basketball the next day and I did.
