Hoops

“Give me the ball!” yelled Hector. “Now! I want to shoot the hoops.”
Manual threw the ball to Hector, “Catch!”
Hector took the ball and dribbled down the court.
He was getting closer to the basket. He knew he could make it.
“Shoot! Shoot!” yelled Pedro.

Hector shot. Anthony put his hand in front of the ball. It did not go into the basket. The other team got the ball. They ran down to the basket. They shot. It went in. Two points for the other team.

Manual got the ball. He passed to Hector. Hector passed to Pedro. Swish! It made it right in the basket.

The two teams threw the ball back and forth. Each team made a basket.
Swish! 2–2. 4–4. 8–6.

It was only one minute until recess was over. Hector’s team was behind by two points. The boys ran down the court.

“Pass! Now!” yelled Hector.

Manual grabbed the ball. He tossed it with all his might. Swoosh! Right in the basket. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrr. There goes the bell!

“Tie game!” they all yelled. “We’ll play again at lunch.”
