and took a pre-victory lap around the court. The crowd sat in hushed silence, wondering if they were in the right place. Many spectators looked at their tickets and their seats to see if they were in the wrong place. Shaking their heads many of the puzzled spectators pulled out their checkbooks to make sure they had the right day, hoping they hadn't wasted their money on tickets for this.

"What on earth?" puzzled CW. Deciding to take matters into her ownn hands, she picked up the ball bag and slowly rolled the balls onto the floor directly at the oncoming fivesome.

When the balls rolled right through their feet, literally, she smiled and called for a team huddle. "These goofs are ghosts--let's see if they can even pick up a ball!"

Kande, thinking fast asked if they were spectres or spectators while wondering how she could secretly use her assassin skills. "I wonder if a fire extiguisher would stop them cold (hehehe) in their tracks?" Looking around the gym she spotted one and ran to get it off it's hook. It wouldn't budge. "I guess I wil just wait for them to run by here and freeze them in their tracks" she muttered.

After watching the fivesome float around the gym and failing to pick up one ball, CW told her team "Listen up team--all we need is one basket--this bunch can't even float a ball up to the hoop. Who wants to take a shot?"

For four agonizing quarters, the Shippervillians shot and shot and shot--bucket after bucket. The cheering squad cheered their mightiest cheers but even that didn't help. Bubba waited as long as he could by the bathroom but finally gave up and came back to watch.

"Bubba--we need you!" screamed CW who had long since given up on her whistle. "Substitution, substitution" she yelled to nobody in particular since the scorekeeper and timer had left for lunch. "Bubba--get in their for somebody--anybody and shoot!"

The clock was ticking down slowly but steadily. Bubba pointed to each player in turn but nobody wanted to leave--just yet anyhow. Finally the mayor said she had to sit down--the ankle you know and magnanimously let Bubba take her place with 10 seconds left in the game. "Let her rip Bubba--I want this game over and fast" the mayor commanded.

Nodding, Bubba took the ball in his three fingered hands, dribbled in slow motion (now how did he do that everybody wondered?) One dribble, two dribbles and from half court with 3 seconds remaining he let the ball fly. In a high arc the ball floated in slow motion toward the hoop. It hit the rim bounced up, came down and hit the rim again and bounced back up. Down it came, bounced back and forth inside the rim like a pinball machine--still in slow motion. Finally with a gasp as everybody who was holding their breath exhaled, the ball fell through the hoop, bounced off the floor into a stunned SMH's hands.
