Middle school pair today. The boys game' has your typical array of sizes, from 6-3, bulky dudes with beards, to 4-10 mites. A-1 is the former; B-2 is the latter.

Game tied 40-40, 11 seconds left, A's throw-in at the division line. (I'm the T.) A-1 receives the throw-in (not sure why he's playing the point), guarded by B-2. A-1 is holding the ball rather low, within potential stealing reach of B-2.

Coach B yells at his defender, "Take it! TAKE IT!!!"

So, A-1 takes it... from 25 feet out.

Banks it home.

A wins, 43-40.
