"LOSS at first sight"

..
during the vball competition..
well, they were two teams that were really powerful, (powered by state players)..
..
every1 was trying to avoid them in the "draw" of group stages...
..
well, we got lucky,
and we drew them both ...
in the same group...
at first, i thought my captain was joking, but it was written all over his face.."we r SCREWed"...
hahaha...
"poW!!"
our hopes of getting to the semis...
well,
"you will never now until you try"...i said to myself..
..
and i dont understand why im always entangled with underdogs...
...
we have nothing to lose....SO give our best and have fun..
...
the 1st ball itself,
i sacrifice my body and flung my body to the ground and save the ball...
until today, the scar hasnt healed..
...
haha, but it was a 5 second moment of fame, and a whole week stuck in pain...
my group of vballers, consist of mostly girls, 30 girls and 10 guys...
the atmosphere was superb, with 30 girls cheering you on, it made me feel like a STAR...
lol...well im not though...
i scored quite a few points for our team...but all of them you could say is "i dont what im doing, just get the ball across..
you could say, i was on "fire"...
"haha...
im only good at putting on a show, throwing my body here and there...
i cant remember how many times, i flung over just 2 get the ball..
with adrenaline pumping and the desire to go on...
we eventually lost to the eventual champions of the tournament by 31-27..
we were leading 27-24 or something...but..
"miss a an inch, miss by an mile, we miss"
...
i was really glad we didnt get thrashing in front of our "FANS"...
we put on a show, and they put on our spirit..
..
well, we learn more from defeats than success...
i guess what i learn today is that we ought to give a 110% even if it means losing, and in the end, it was well worth it...
for what we won, was not a "gold medal", what we won was, indeed , ourself and doing the unexpected...
...
"a thxs to our cheerleaders, a thxs to our teamates who never gave up, a thxs for a great game played."
