CARTER:
Uh, no, it鈥檚 cool.
ALFIE:
I think so, too. So, anyway, yeah, once again welcome to the show everybody. That voice you hear belongs to Carter Haswell, eighth grade basketball star and captain of the Walthorne South Middle School Panthers. We鈥檙e here to talk about the upcoming game, the first game of the season against your archrivals, the Walthorne North Cougars. Carter, what are your thoughts?
CARTER:
Uh, my thoughts?
ALFIE:
Yeah. You know, like, your thoughts about the game and stuff.
CARTER:
My thoughts. Got it. Well, my thoughts are that I hope we win.
ALFIE:
Cool.
CARTER:
Cool.
ALFIE:
Everyone鈥檚 been looking forward to this game since the end of last year, when the two teams battled it out for the league championship and you guys beat them in the finals by three.
CARTER:
That was pretty awesome, especially winning in that fancy new gym they built.
ALFIE:
Yeah. I wonder when we鈥檙e gonna get a gym like that.
CARTER:
Probably never.
ALFIE:
So now it鈥檚 a new season, though, and Walthorne North has a lot of tall players, especially their center, Clay Elkind. What鈥檚 the plan to contain them? Are you gonna play zone, maybe a box and one, or do you think you can handle them playing man-to-man? Are you concerned about their pick-and-roll?
CARTER:
Whoa. You know a lot about basketball. Like, more than me even.
ALFIE:
I love basketball.
CARTER:
Cool. I like basketball, too.
ALFIE:
Do you love it?
CARTER:
Uh, sure, I guess. I鈥檓 not, like, obsessed with it or anything.
ALFIE:
That鈥檚 so weird because people are saying you鈥檙e, like, one of the best players to ever come out of Walthorne, and you鈥檙e not even in high school yet.
CARTER:
I don鈥檛 pay attention to any of that stuff. A lot of people take basketball too seriously if you ask me. I mean, it鈥檚 just a game, right?
ALFIE:
If you say so. So if you don鈥檛 take it seriously, how did you get so good? Do you practice a lot?
CARTER:
I practice when I feel like practicing, which is a lot, but, like it鈥檚 not all I ever do. Do you play an instrument?
ALFIE:
No.
CARTER:
Oh. Well, I love playing guitar, but I鈥檓 way worse at that than I am at basketball. It鈥檚 like, some things you鈥檙e really good at, and some things you鈥檙e not, and that鈥檚 just the way it is, you know? With basketball, people tell me I have a feel for the game. I guess that鈥檚 part of it.
ALFIE:
Plus you鈥檙e tall and super athletic.
CARTER:
Yeah well, that鈥檚 all luck.
ALFIE:
I guess so. Well, it鈥檚 almost time for next class, so thanks for coming on the show.
CARTER:
No problem.
ALFIE:
Oh wait! I almost forgot, the school asked me to announce that the town is doing this online pep rally thing, and they want us to encourage people to go on there and say supportive things about all our sports teams and show some school spirit!
CARTER:
Oh yeah, I heard about that. I guess that sounds fun, so yeah, for whoever鈥檚 listening out there, check it out鈥攚ait, what鈥檚 it called again?
ALFIE:
Walthornespirit.com
CARTER:
Right yeah, Walthornespirit.com. I guess, like, lots of kids are going to be on there getting psyched up for the winter sports season, so all the boys and girls teams are counting on everyone for support and stuff. Thanks.
ALFIE:
Thank you, Carter! This has been Alfie Jenks, Talking Sports. Be sure to tune in next week, when my guest will be seventh grade gymnastics star Rebecca Smythe.
