Failure leads to success

  It was the 4Th quarter of the championship game, we were winning by only a couple against the concord spiders. As time went by concord kept scoring, it was tied with 10 seconds left, there star player hit a three with 5 seconds left to put concord up by one. It was heartbreaking even though we still had one more chance to score.....But we didn’t work, concord won 51-50 we were very sad but then after a little while we got over it.
8Th grade year...coach came back for another year, and most of the team from last year. Are first game went good against Winkler the new school, we smashed them ! second game we lost at home against North West who we beat three times last year, I think we thought we were going to beat them because of last year but they were way better. We bounced back after that, winning 10 games in a row, Then the playoffs, we were first seed in the tournament so we played the last seed. We smashed them, and next came concord! we knew we had it this time and actually beat them by 10 it was a good game though. Then the championship game vs Winkler they beat every body else but us and now we are facing them in the championship game ! It was a good game, we started to pull away a little and they kept coming back, until the 4Th quarter they were tired and worn out and we were getting most of our points off fast breaks then time went by we knew we had it and we won. It felt so good winning a championship after loosing last year.

I will never forget the team that failed the first time and succeeded the next,and I will never forget the best coach that i ever had. that’s how failure can lead to success at whatever you do.

  2. I love how you ended this saying that you wouldn't forget the team that failed the first time and succeeded the next. It's without question my favorite line because, your're right. That's an experience that is going to stick with you forever.
