Friday: Today was spirit day so we dressed up in our school colors. It was just like a regular day so I proceeded to my regular classes. After school instead of having workouts my school has a football game in the whole school participated. We played flag football until about 8 o’clock so I was there the whole day and didn’t do any homework that day. After the flag football game I went home and watched my brother play on his PS4 for a little bit. The rest of the day I relaxed.

Saturday: Today I got up pretty late, but when I got up I did my morning routine and relaxed until about 10. At 10 I got ready for basketball practice. I got the practice a little bit late and right when I walked in my coach was already screaming at me. When I got there we did three-man weave, three on two -two on one, after the three on two two on one we did a drill where you would have to get up and down the floor six times with the basketball in 22 seconds. I always make the time, but the people who didn’t make the time had to do a penalty so we had to do them as a team. We worked on our plays, then we did some 5 on 5. After the workouts a few people came over my house and hung out for a bit. After they left I relax the rest of the day.

Sunday: Today I got up early, because I had a game what’s the belles. The first game I came a little late, but we still ended up beating the team by a lot. The second game was a little tougher than the first game, and the girls were bigger, But we still ended up with the win. After those two games I had to go to New York for my next two games. Before I left to New York I went to go pick up something to eat. When I got to New York I got ready to play. The first game was pretty easy, but we struggled in the beginning, but the team wasn’t really that good we just had to warm up. The second game was the toughest game yet we had to play exodus. Exodus started off with the lead right when they scored they went on a run and didn’t stop scoring, by half time they were beating us by 12 then we got our act together and started playing. We just went on a run and they just couldn’t stop us when we started pressing they started turning the ball over. With two minutes left in the game it was tied up and exodus made some crucial turnovers and we scored off of almost every turnover they made. They got a tech because of the coaches, and Zoe hit both of her free throws then we were up by two. When we got the ball back We turn the ball over and they were out for a fast break, but I came behind the girl and stole the ball and the game is over. We ended up beating exodus by 4 points. After the game I got in the car and headed home. When I got home I relaxed and then went to bed.

Later on in the day around like 6 I went outside and shot for a few with my brother. I started with some form shots then I moved back a few feet and started shooting mid range. After I was done I relax the rest of the day. At around 9:00 my mom cooked dinner then went to sleep.

I was in the weight room from 3 to 4 then I go to the gym with my dad's high school boys team. I stretch for about two minutes then we start working out. In the workout I did v-cut rip through lay-up, v-cut jab-step, pull up 3, defensive slides, post move, 3 on 3, and then I finished out the practice with 10 and 1.

5TH ANNUAL GTHING ALL STAR CLASSIC REVIEW

Atlantic City, NJ - August 18 - This year the kids where in for a treat. Gthing decide to stay home in not take the show on the road, for the 5th Annual 24/7 Gthing All Star Classic Event. We figure why not do it  at home since we were hitting the milestone of the 5th year mark that Gthing launch the first All Star Classic game under the umbrella of Basketball Spotlight in Trenton, NJ. Since then Gthing has travel to different parts of New Jersey to have the 24/7 basketball event. The 5th Annual mark has recognize some of the great player's who actually participated in the very first All Star Classic Game which was held at Trenton Catholic, names such as Honesty Scott-Grayson / Baylor University, Danielle Robinson / Seton Hall University, Imani Lewis / Wisconsin, Mya Grimes / High Point, etc. They all went on to have good high school career's, all scored 1,000 points and I'm sure along with tons of rebounds and assist and steals. This year was a little different then the previous years, we would wind up doing two Rising 9th grade games and one Rising 8th grade game. The level of competition was so strong for the 2022 Class we actually didn't have a choice but to do two games. We started out with the Rising 8th graders first who brought some heat to the court, and then we followed with the older girls. There were kids from multiple states that played in this event, also on hand we had a special guest appearance by Baylor freshman Honesty Scott-Grayson to present the Most Exciting Player Award of the game in which the award is named after her.

Gia Cooke - 5'7 - Elizabeth Seton HS MD - Fairfax Stars - Clinton, MD - Ms excitement put on a show even though her team came up short in overtime, but she walk away with the (Most Exciting Award Trophy).
