The ball was tossed, colors blurred, and arms stretched. . . the game had begun. At this point, I could only guess as to the outcome of our battle. During most of the first half the scores stayed relatively close. Then near the end of the second quarter, the Firebirds seemed to 'get the fever'. When the floor was cleared for the half, we led by twelve points. During half time, I talked to several of the fans who were amazed, but not very optimistic. They just didn't want to get their hopes up. . . neither did I. The second half began and shortly, that lead wascut to.two':.. then. ... zero. I knew we could do it. . . could, but would we? When only a minute showed on the clock, I thought my heart had stopped beating. My palms were moist- ened and my head was pounding furiously . . « | was only a fan. I wonder how the players felt. The count down had begun. All I could do was wait. . . the buzzer blasted, and at the same time, a cry echoed in my ear, I looked to see who had cried out. Sev- eral eyes stared in my direction, and I realized that the sound had erupted from my own throat. . . A cry of VICTORY!
