Friday night: perfect weather, bleachers packed full with excited fans, thundering cheers. The opposing teams, like Timberwolves (no, I’m not biased), about to fight for the food. What’s the food, though?
The victory. Ever since last year’s loss against Maclay, Chiles had been in preparation for this particular game. This was what many of us liked to refer to as “THE” game of the entire season. Grant it, I had heard rumors that one night during the week before the game, a said pack of Timberwolves prowled over to Maclay for a little pre-game fun… but hey, rumors are rumors. At seven o’clock exactly, the crowds, on either side, came to life, like none ever seen before. Joking taunts and full support spewed from the bleachers as the players took to the court.
The game had started; an upbeat competition full of neck-to-neck scoring, to performances from various groups to rally the crowds.
Jamin Thomas captured the home crowd with 25 points, four rebounds, four assists and four steals. Danny Young added eight points and 10 rebounds for the Timberwolves.
The final score? 55 to 48 – a close game, but a win for Chiles, nonetheless.
Kristen King, a player on the girl’s basketball team, said “It’s a great victory for Chiles; the effort was obvious, and I’m glad we’re back on track.” I’m sure most are happy about winning the last game of the season, and we can only hope for an equally compelling season next year.
