The Basketball Diary is a SLAM tradition that started 28 years ago and has featured some of the
biggest names in the game. But, it was always written by a high school boy. Until now.
World, meet Monterey High’s Aaliyah Chavez.
Hey y’all, it’s Aaliyah Chavez.
I scored my 3,000th point in high school last night. I needed 40 points to get it, and before the game I told myself, Oh I’m gonna keep track after the first 2 points. But then I ended up losing track. At halftime I asked my coach, Is it bad for me to ask how many points I have? and she was like, You actually only need 7 more! Once I hit that three to get me the 3,000th point, I was so hyped and saying LET’S GOOO! I sat out most of the fourth, though, and honestly, I probably could have got 50 if [Coach] didn’t sit me out. It’s all good though. My dad told me if I got 3,000 points he’d get me Wingstop after the game, which is my favorite food.
My life right…
