Blog #15: Overcomming Odds

On Saturday night Minneapolis South and Centennial battle for the class 4A girls state basketball title. The Minneapolis South team face obstacles As one starter left due to an injury, and another fouled out. However, Tayler Hill was still left in the game to lead the team to a championship. Tayler Hill is a two-time Metro PLayer of the Year. She is an incredible player with tremendous strength. Loosing two of her starting team-mates did not stop Tayler. Tayler played all thirty-six minutes and went 11-for-29 shooting, including 5-for-13 on three-pointers. She had twelve rebounds. " 'I know she was good, but tonight she was phenomenal,' Centennial coach Jill Becken said." In this game Hill really did overcome the odds. This proves she has incredible heart. She did not give up she kept pushing herself and her team until a first place medal would be placed around her neck. Playing all 36 minutes and scoring all the points that she did also proves she is physically an incredible player. To overcome the odds one must be mentally and emotionally strong. They must be driven.
