“Tachiinii Basketball First Tournament Result”
​
The results of the first tournament were terrible. The first two game should not define the team. The team lost both games in a double elimination tournament by an average of ten points. It was not because of effort it was more because most of the team member were out of shape. The only two really active team player were Carson Begay (near side white jersey) and Jerral Singer (far side white jersey). The rest of the team were behind the play with their hand the hips watching as Carson dribble down the court.

I remember this photo because I was the one with my hands on my hips as Carson pushed up the court. This photo was taken 1 minute into the game and the second trip down the court. By that time Dexter DeerLove and I (Jason Begay) were behind the play as it developed in the front court. Elliot Chee (in the in red short cuts) tried to keep up with Jerral and Carson.

Carson attempting free throw in a one and one situation. Sadly he miss and everyone is going for the rebound. Jason number 32 on the front side and Elltiot opposite me on the far side with Carson at the free throw line.
After the free throws and another trip down the court I had to call time out because I was exhausted. Dexter had to come in and replace me for the next ten minutes.
