For the third consecutive season, my basketball team, Hoop Doggy Dogs, not only had a winning season, but we again made it to the playoffs; this time in the Sammi Division. (For the first time since we've been playing basketball together, my team decided it was time to move up from the fourth, and lowest division, the Snookie Division. We might do so again, but at this time, we don't feel like we're ready for the first- and second-highest divisions, the Angelina and J Woww Divisions.)
Even though all six of us were wearing our new, matching white sweatbands around our heads, we could not head off Dunkachino and The Flava Shots (formerly known as Butternut Squash, our basketball arch nemesis). The first game was so close that it was tied at the end and went into overtime, but after losing that one by a basket, it was hard to motivate ourselves to win the next two games in a row.
I won't blame it on the stiflingly hot gym or the hasn't-been-swept-in-at-least-several-years slippery floor, but WILL blame it on the rim that did not touch the basketball as it went through the hoop nearly every time the other team shot a three-pointer.
On the bright side, we've already signed up for next season, which starts in just two weeks. I'm already counting down the days!

I'm counting down the days too when I am in New York and get to watch you play again. Don't forget I am available if you need a filler inner. Mom
