Nerves Upsets and Celebrations

Last week Daniel had a late basketball game against the "rival" team from our same town. A week before that we had the whole family come out to support him but I think it was a bit intimidating for him to know everyone was watching,and he had a total off night missing a lot of shots.  Their team lost by a lot.
So  when I came to his late night game knowing that his team has lost every game they have played and they were already behind when we showed up,  I thought we would see a repeat.  His team was behind the entire game other than the first few seconds when they had scored the first points of the game.  In the final minutes they were still trailing by seven points.  Both teams were playing with a lot of hustle and intensity.  Daniel stepped out and made a 3 point shot that went in. After a foul one of his teammates went to the line and made a free throw.    As the other team attempted to throw the ball in, it hit the backboard, so it was turned over the Daniel's team. They threw it in to him and within just a few seconds Daniel scored another 2 pointer right under the basket to tie the score with just 13 seconds left.  The other team started to bring the ball in but Daniel stole it and then was fouled with just 1.4 seconds left. He went to the line, missed his first shot and with the nerves and pressure all on him was able to swish the final foul shot to win the game.
Height isn't the greatest asset in our family, so I have wondered if he will have a chance to play in high school or if he will just stick with football.  Either way this will be a night that I'm sure he will never forget.  We stopped by the grocery store to pick up ice cream and root beer to celebrate.
