Trashketball



Today, we played trashketball. It was one of the most amazing, intense and super-duper game in trashketball history. The game was really intense. In the very beginning my team got probation because I was talking. That sucked because we could not answer the first three questions, which we all knew what the answer was. Anyways, we got off probation, thankfully, and we were in the game. Through the whole game it seemed like one team was in the lead the whole time. One of the music trivia was a Whitney Houston song. Isaac thought that the song was by Paula Abdul. We were totally wrong. A lot of other groups tried guessing who the singer was. No one got it right. Anyways, Group #3 was doing really good because Jack hit the trash can, then rolled a high number. Then he hit the trash can again to get a really good score. Our team, Group 5, got a question right, and I wanted to throw the ball, so my team let me. I thought that I had to make it up to my team because I got my team a probation, so I really wanted to get points up. Of course I hit the trash can, which I've never done, then I rolled the die and got one. That sucked. I had to hit it again. I did! I was really happy. At the end, our team went into the final round in a three way tie for last place. When our team was up to throw, Group 1 was in the lead. Ellie went up to throw, (dramatic pause), then she threw the ball and it hit the trash can! We were tied for 1st. The last team to throw couldn't hit or sink the ball into the trash can. It was a sudden death to determine the winner. After maybe 10 minnutes of Group 1 and my Group throwing, no one could hit the can. It was an epic game, as Kellen would say.

Hey Guy. That was very funny when Michael got you guys banned for 3 questions. Paula Abdul was pretty close though. It took soooooooooo long to finish it though. Who would have thought that we would have like 20 rounds of overtime.

That was a very super-duper game. I can't believe you got probation. That was a crazy end. I went up twice at the end. It was fun.

Guy, that was my favorite game of trashketball yet! That was funny when Michael got his team banned for a while. It was a really long game. The sky hook shot was cool to. Good job on the blog.

Hey Guy! I liked that game of trashketball a lot. That was funny when michael got you guys banned. Jack is really good at hitting the can because he is a pitcher. Anyway i'll see you around.
