Just a kid in ohio (unfinished draft)

One day when Elias was four he loved to play sports, but his favorite sport was basketball. When he had some free time he loved to shoot some hoops. Then when he was eight, he joined a basketball team. Elias always dreamed about going to a championship game. He thought one day that he would go to one. His mother called him in for dinner. Elias's favorite basketball player was Larry Bird. Larry was a star at buzzer beaters. And some day Elias would want to make a buzzer beater too.

It was Saturday, Elias's first game. He was so excited. His team was called the TIGERS. It was opening tip and the other team got the ball. Elias stole the ball away from the other team, 2-0. It was the end of the 1st half. The Tigers were trailing at the half, 23-20. The 2nd half was about to start. The Tigers got the ball first. Elias was their point guard. He was dribbling up the court. He was trying to find somebody to pass to when he realized he was open for a 3 pointer. *SWISH* Elias tied the game 23-23. There were two minutes left in the game. It was 40-42. The other team was winning.  Elias was dribbling up the ball. He passed it to Josh he shot the ball and made it nice shot I said to Josh. It was 42-42 Elias was dribbling the ball up he shot the 3 pointer *SWISH*. There was two seconds left. The other team chucked it from half court and missed. We won our first game.

The TIGERS had won 5 games and lost 5. There was a note that was coming in the mail to see if they made it to the playoffs. It was Monday, the worst day of the week because there's five more day's ahead of you. But Elias was so exited about the note coming that he didn't care. When Elias got home from school he looked in the mail box but nothing was there. he said to myself maybe it will come tomorrow. The next day no letter. The next day still no letter. Finally the next day Elias didn't bother to look so he just went inside. A few hour's went by when my mom got home. She looked in the mail box. She saw something it was the letter. She ran inside and said Elias! Elias! the note it's here. I ran down the stairs as fast as I could. I ripped open the letter. We made it to the playoffs. Elias was so exited he ran to all of his friends house spreading it all over. It was Saturday, the playoffs it was opening tip. The Tigers got the ball first. Elias was dribbling the ball up the court. he passed it to Colby he shot and missed. But Patrick got the rebound and made the lay up. 2-0 the other team was dribbling up the court. They shot the ball but J.D blocked it. He caught the ball and scored the lay up. 4-0. It was halftime, the Tigers were up by five. 33-38.
