Description:	Improvement bring/10-6 recordIt is just a game. You may cry when you lose. Yourparents may wish you had won. Your coach may pushyou to do better next time. Yet, you must alwaysremember it is just a game.Our basketball team was great. We tried hard, reallyhard, to win our games. We never lost the enjoyment,though. We never blamed one another for fumbledballs or missed shots. We were a team. Maybe we werent great, but we were good; maybe we didnt believeone another to be perfect, but we liked one another;and maybe we didn t win every game, but we tried.Jane HenegarYear after year, teams either strengthenor weaken; they improve on past records orlose more games.
