Their starting line up consists of two seniors, two juniors, and one sophomore, all who were part of the championship team last year. This experienced combination of players will be a lethal hit to any team that is in their way. Russ Smith is the driving force that propels this team. He has all the skills it takes to keep the team together and has helped amass such a great run at the end of their season, with a 42-point outbreak against Houston two weeks earlier. The Louisville Cardinals are not going down this year; they will fly all the way to the top.
The girls were executing every play to perfection. We won the game, silencing a team of seniors who had taunted us for weeks before the game.

Flashback: It was fifth period – English class. They were doing presentations about their vacation again, like last year and the year before that and the year before that. Dylan was so pumped for the pep rally later. His excitement could be seen at his face: with his smile from cheek to cheek, to the enthusiastic look in his eyes, and his feet that he can’t stop stomping. He was already daydreaming about the activities he would do later on.
My schedule consisted of waking up early every day and taking a 1.5 mile run, followed by taking 500 jump shots, a similar exercise Kobe performed during his high school career. Conquering the fear of failure became an imaginary bond between Kobe and I. I knew that working hard all summer honed my physical and mental edge on the court. When tryouts came around, the odds were against me, as the team roster had been established, but I did my best Kobe impersonation and played harder than anyone else on the court. I made the team because just like Kobe, I wasn’t going to fail. This experience taught me to have fortitude, and to always strive for my dreams.
When I first started playing sports it was it was all for fun until I found the sports I truly loved and was serious about them. The first sport I ever tried was when I was 4, I did gymnastics. I loved it so much and I would watch the older girls hoping that would be me one day. I only did it for 2 years though because the place I went to moved somewhere else so I stopped. I won a medal in floor and this first got me going with competition.

I also made life-long friendships, and I am still meeting new people at our meetings that we have during the school year. The summer before my junior year of high school I attended my 10-day residential Junior Conference at Christian Brothers University. Entering the program I had mixed feelings because I was so excited to meet new people, but at the same time I was extremely nervous because I had no idea what I was getting myself into.

His parents own a restaurant so they work from five to six in the morning till twelve at night, so he had no choice but to learn and be independent on his own. Although he knows that he is slow in school, he still challenged himself and takes honors and AP classes with me. I would help and assist him as much as I could so that he doesn’t fall behind.
