Diary Of A Baller: Jason Boswell Entry #13


Wassup basketball world, I'm back again to tell you how my week went.

Last Friday I went to 96th to watch my NY Patriots family play in a 13u one day tournament. They took the chip. Later that night I played in my first Fred Neal Holiday Classic game at Gauchos gym. We played against a team called Wyckoff from New Jersey. It was an easy blow out win I think I ended the game with about 14pts.

On Saturday I had school practice in the morning. Me and Patriots teammate Jaequan Brown killed in the scrimmage with dunk after dunk, it was fun. After that we got something to eat and headed to Baychester gym to workout before our game in the Fred Neal Classic. Junior College star Rasheem (Rah Rah) Jenkins spent the day with us while he was on vacation from school. We played a team called Visitation. Another easy win. Later that day I stayed in Gauchos gym to chill with my dad, my patriots coach, and Dashawn Suber to watch my boy Jordan Washington play.

Sunday afternoon was the big awaited game. The announcer at Gauchos kept saying Jason Boswell vs. Jordan Washington. We both started of slow but I picked it up by getting a couple and 1's on Jordan. I got him into early foul trouble. Late in the fourth quarter I got another and 1 on Jordan to foul him out. After that myself, Jaequan Brown & John Dewey went on a scoring run. I ended the game with about 19, Jaequan with about 17 and John with about 13. The game went into overtime and we won.

Championship day Monday we played against a scrappy Mt. Vernon Jr. Knights team the game went into overtime but we pulled out the win. I received MVP and ALL- Tournament for the game and my teammate Jaequan Brown also received ALL-Tournament. That ended off my week on a good note.

HAPPY NEW YEARS!!!
