(Basketball) Pistons vs Wellington Saints
On Tuesday the 17th of June my Mum, brother William and I went to the Te Awamutu Event centre to watch the Waikato Pistons play the wellington Saints. We hoped in the car at 7:20 and speed off as we were meant to be there at 7:00. We finally arrived and ran in. Mum had brought the tickets earlier that day so we just went straight to the doors. Two girls were at the door collecting tickets and putting stamps on our hands. When we went in we couldn’t find a seat. So me and William sat in the aisle beside our cousins and Mum found a seat at the top. A girl came on and sang our national anthem then we were on with it. The game soon started with the Saints winning the jump but not getting the ball in the basket. Then it was the pistons turn and in went the lay up. Next it was the Saints who got it in. It went on like this for the rest of the half. At each quarter time the cheerleaders went on and a girl started to sing to the song the cheerleaders were dancing to. The game soon went on with Pistons throwing in from the side. We cheered everytime the Pistons got a basket and were having heaps of fun. At half time they through out balls and Te-shirts and my Uncle John caught a ball and my brother a Te-shirt. In the third quarter their were lots of time outs and it went on for a while but we were relieved to see that the Pistons were up on the score board. In the fourth quarter the game was all tied up and Pistons then broke out by getting three baskets in the last thirty second. Finally it was over and the Pistons will be playing again on Friday.
