They were in the playoffs. They had won! The first game...the second. There was hopes of going all the way this year. Not until the 4th quarter did either team score. Not until the last six minutes. They fought so hard.
This is the last year these boys would be together. Next year starts Junior High School. A whole new game. There will be try outs and new coaches and different level of sport than what they have learned. This was their last year as youth.
The other team celebrated. They were moving on to the next round. Our boys wiped away tears. It was over. It was final.
