The Last Game

The last game of our season, the last game for our seniors to play at the College of Mount St. Joseph the last long road trip until next year. The Bluffton Beavers that have made a great strive to make it to the Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference. At one point they were last in the conference they ended a 15 game stretch 9-6. This road trip was about 3 and half hours away. It was a double header both females and males were playing so obviously we took the charter bus. For all players weren't allowed to go on the trip only the players that were selected to dress varsity but, it seemed as for the women all players went. When we first played Bluffton at our home court we beat them by one point by a game winning jump shot by our starting point guard Travis Huffman. At the end of the first half we had a comfortable lead 43-26 but, that lead wasn't to comfortable after teh second half started. Bluffton kept on chipping away point after point eventually with three minutes and thirty nine seconds left the Bluffton Beavers tied the game up. Since it was the Beavers senior night the crowd was going crazy rooting their friends and maybe even family members on. With 29 seconds left they took the lead. Coming down to the last seconds we had one opportunity to excel and win the game but unfortunately Travis misssed this time. So the game was won by the Beavers 69-68. What a hard fought game it was. It's sad to see two teams work as hard as they could and eventually one has to lose by only one point.
