Midtoon High Advances to Semi-Finals

The Midtoon Herald, May 18, 2009

The wait was seven years long, but the fans forgot all the bitterness of the past few seasons yesterday when Midtoon High defeated Weston High in a dramatic game.

"I was hitting it well," said Christopher "Big Chris" Rollins, who turned out to be the most valuable player of the quarter finals in a very short interview. "The ball was going in, and I hit some really important baskets in the fourth quarter."

Midtoon had been lukewarm during the first three quarters, but managed to stay in the game due to a very aggressive defense.

"It was a life or death game," said the team mascot. "The guys came out really motivated, especially in the fourth quarter after the coach gave them a very peppy pep talk. He told them that they were playing awful. but the score was close. He challenged them to go out in the last quarter and finish them off."

The rest is history.

Basketball fans are really excited because it had been a while since the team had a player of the caliber of Big Chris.

"Big Chris is going to the NBA," said a rabid fan. "Mark my words, Big Chris will go NBA."

This reporter is wondering why Big Chris left the court running...
