I-1

Usually peoples New Year’s Resolutions are either job goals or people start new good habitats. My New Year’s Resolution has to do with basketball. My New Year’s Resolution is to shoot better in basketball. In the beginning of the basketball season I started off slow only averaging around 6 pts. a game. Now I’m averaging 10.3 points a game. I have had double digit points in 5 of the last 6 games. I feel like if I keep up my game I could go to school and play basketball. I really hope my New Year’s Resolution comes through only, because I love the game of basketball a lot and I really hope I could do something with it. Come to think of it my basketball career is almost over here in Alden. We only have like 8 games left not including playoffs. I really hope we finish strong throughout the season so that way we have a good seed in the playoffs. If we win the rest of our games we could have a chance to go to Buff State. Alden hasn’t gone to Buff State in I don’t know how many years, but I know it has been awhile. The last time we ever won a section 6 title is around 30 years ago. I think we have a good chance to win our division if we beat the rest of our division opponents. My senior night will be an emotional one. Once I stop playing basketball I really don’t know what I will do. This week we face Cleve Hill. This will be a big game, because this is a division game. We lost to them at home 76-56. This game will require a lot of hustle. We need to out rebound them and play defensive and we should win the game. This would be a huge win for us.
