Julius was sitting on his porch when he got a call from Uptown High School. The Principal was on the phone Mr.Wellington. He told Julius “I got a job for you I think you might be interested.” Julius thought for a second. He replied, “mmmm I’ll think about it.” Wellington was a little sad but He said: “ok just let me know when.” The call ended. Julius pondered the whole day. He came to a conclusion and he went up to Uptown in time for practice. There were 7 kids out only. Julius about had a heart attack. He took a look at the kids they all didn’t look like ballplayers except one. Julius asked, “Hey kid what’s your name.” The kid responded “Kevin Mourning.” “Are you related to Alonzo Mourning by chance are you.” “Actually I am he’s my third cousin.”

Alright, people, we are gonna see who’s the best player on this team. This whole practice is going to be a one versus one tournament. The first game was Kevin vs Julio. Kevin won 11 in 0. Kevin moved on and played the winner of the second game. He played and won 11 to 0 again. He went to the finals. He won 21 to 0. The kid played like anything I’ve never seen before. Julius thought. He ended the practice and went home. He pondered once again trying to make a starting lineup. It was between Kevin and Julio but then he remembered Kevin smoked him 11 to zip. So it was decided Kevin was starting.

It was before the championship game. Julius talked to his team. “Listen, guys, not everyone will play tonight, this is the most important game of the season and also I know all of you are nervous because I’ve been here before.” They got on the court and the game then began. Off the gate the game was really intense Kevin was hitting shots but the team wasn’t playing defense very well. “If they score again I’m calling timeout,” Julius said. They stole the ball and the opposing team scored again. Julius then called timeout. They all came to the bench and Julius started hyping everyone up. The players went back on the court and they went on a 20-0 run. The game was over and Kevin Had 40 points and the team won by 12. Julius walked out the gym got and his car and started crying. It’s been so long since he’s felt that type of adrenaline and excitement.
