More importantly, I lost.
It's true that I wasn't the only one that lost, 3 other people did too.
But if I had just won, we, as a team, would of won.
Why did I have to lose.
I've lost before. But I never really cared about it until now.
Maybe it's because this time, it mattered the most.
I didn't just let my partner down, I let down my whole team.
And to be honest, the feeling sucks.
The team has lost before. But in the matches we lost, I won my own games.
I remember telling the people who beat themselves up for losing,
"Stop being a fucking drama queen. Everyone's lost before, it's not a big deal, the world keeps turning. Besides, don't act like your lost was all that mattered. Shit, you're not the center of the universe. Not everything is about you. Stop hogging the blame."
It just doesn't make me feel better =/
Michael Jordan said,
"I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed."
I feel bad because I feel so helpless. If I had a second chance, will I be able to succeed?
And that's what sucks the most.

That's what second chances are for right? I really think of this loss as more of a gain for us. Now, we know what to work on as a team and as individual players. We know how strong our top competition is. We know how to beat them now since we came so close. Next time, let's aim for a 7-0 game, alright?
Look, this is simply an excuse for us to quit fucking around and get serious. The beginning of the season was so productive and fruitful because there was the feeling that we were the underdogs who were going to rise up and overthrow Moreau Catholic and win our first HAAL team title since science knows how long. But once we beat Moreau, we collectively lost that edge and safety net. We see ourselves as dominant now, not the ones seeking to prove their dominance, which has kept us from playing at our true potential. A 7-0 game is going to be unrealistic against BOD, or even CV. The reversal of fortunes will be the product of hard work, determination, and focus. That's what we all need, especially now.
