Mia took the ball. She dribbled down the court. Everyone was watching. Mia's heart beat fast.
She got close to the hoop. A player from the Red Foxes stood in front of her. Mia stopped. She needed to think fast.
"I can do this," Mia thought. She remembered her practice.
Mia took a step back. She jumped up. She threw the ball.
The ball flew through the air. It went toward the hoop. Everyone was quiet.
The ball hit the rim. It bounced up. Then down. Around and around.
Mia watched. Her team watched. The Red Foxes watched.
Then, swoosh! The ball fell through the hoop.
"Yes!" shouted Mia. Her team ran to her. They were all happy. The game was now tied.
