Well, ain’t this somethin’. Talkin’ ’bout basketball at that Carver place. You know, the one with all the kids runnin’ around? My grandson, he likes that kinda thing. Throwin’ the ball and whatnot. Always yellin’ at the TV when them fellas play.
So, this Carver high school, they got a team. A basketball team, mind you. And them boys, they sure do run fast. Up and down that court, like chickens with their heads cut off. But they know what they doin’, I reckon. Puttin’ that ball in the hoop. That’s the game, ain’t it? Get the ball in the hoop more times than the other guys.
I heard they won some games. Beat some other schools. Calvary somethin’ or other, and another one, McMain, I think. That’s good, ain’t it? Winnin’ means they’re good at throwin’ that ball. My grandson, he always cheers when his team wins. Jumps up and down like a frog on a hot skillet.
- They got a schedule too. Tells ’em when to play. Like chores, you gotta have a schedule. Gotta know when to milk the cows and when to feed the chickens. Same with basketball, I guess. Gotta know when to throw that ball.
- And they got livestreams. That’s like watchin’ on the TV, but it’s on the computer. My grandson showed me. Fancy stuff, all them buttons and whatnot. But you can see them boys play, right there on the screen.
- They got highlights too. That’s the best parts of the game. Like when you skim the cream off the milk, you get the best part. Same with highlights. Just the good stuff, none of the boring bits.
Them boys at Carver, they train hard I bet. Gotta practice to get good at anything. Like bakin’ a pie. Gotta practice rollin’ that dough just right. And them boys gotta practice throwin’ that ball. Over and over, ’til they get it right.
And they got a coach, I reckon. Someone to tell ’em what to do. Like a shepherd herdin’ his sheep. Gotta keep them boys in line, make sure they don’t go runnin’ off in all directions. Coach tells ’em how to play, how to win. And if they listen, they do good.
My grandson, he wants to play like them boys at Carver. Dreams of bein’ a basketball star. Says he’s gonna be famous one day. I tell him, “That’s nice, dear. But you still gotta finish your chores.” He rolls his eyes, like I don’t know nothin’. But I know hard work when I see it. And them boys at Carver, they work hard.
So, that’s what I know ’bout Carver high school basketball. They got a team, they play games, they win sometimes. And they got boys runnin’ around throwin’ a ball. Sounds like fun, if you like that kinda thing.
But me, I prefer sittin’ on the porch, watchin’ the birds. Or maybe knittin’ a blanket. Somethin’ quiet. All that runnin’ and yellin’, it’s too much for my old bones. But I’m glad them boys at Carver are havin’ fun. And who knows, maybe one of them will be the next Michael Jordan. My grandson would like that. He says Michael Jordan is the best there ever was. And maybe he’s right. But I still think my apple pie is better.
So, there you have it. That’s what I think ’bout Carver high school basketball. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go check on them chickens.
