[PHOTOSTORY 2 MOTION] Basketball at Southern Downes

By Blake Williams

This is Matthew. He and his roommate are doing their Friday workout by playing basketball. 

This is Keionte. This is his favorite day to workout, because he used to play for his highschool.

They come out here every Friday instead of working out. They usually go to the YMCA.

Keionte makes a shot. This isn't towards the goal at all. 

Matthew didn't make the mistake, but he had to get the ball. He missed a lot more in the game. 

I then questioned why both of them were wearing crocs. "They are just comfy," Matthew said. 

Keionte then takes the ball from Matthew. The game got intense all the way to the goal. 

Keionte then scored a point. The score is now 1-0.

Here is Matthew waiting for the next "Do or die" shot to see who gets the ball. He ended up with the ball. 

A little mid-match confrontation. "You breathing a little hard ain't you," Keionte said

Following up with that, Matthew takes a mid-match breather. "I am a fathelete," Matthew said.

The game was held on one side of the court. As you can see, the other goal doesn't have a net or chain. 

Now we are back in the game. At this point, the game is tied 1-1. 

To break the tie, the game got intense. The ball was knocked out of Kieonte's hand.

The ball didn't quite reach the goal. It was Kieonte's turn to go get the ball, as it almost went in the water. 

Kieonte then chucks the ball to Matthew. Matthew as he was almost all game, sat their waiting. 

Kieonte uses his height advantage to keep the ball. His momentum didn't last long. 

Kieonte in a make or break effort made the shot. the game was now 2-1.

After the shot, the imaginary coach "benched" him. "Man I done make my place known," Kieonte said. 

The game has ended 2-1. Both are visibly out of it. 

Great sportsmanship. Their motivation is to "get back to the high school days." said Matthew
