Troubles In Summer Ball pgs 31-50

Now the main character Danny is going through some problems, on and off the court. Right before he left to go to a basketball camp, he had a dispute with Tess, a gril his has a thing for. If it becomes serious this can make him feel depressed and affect his attitude on and off the court. Since they will not be talking for a long period of time, that can put a burden on his heart. he might not act or be the same person with this problem on his mind. Then his height can make things harder on the court. He is playing aganist high schoolers and he is satnding at five-foot five. He sometimes is bullied for easy baskets, pushed around and even picked on because of his short stature. But I think Danny is good with adversity. He has already handled these problems okay so far. Not thinking about Tess and still playing his type of game on the court. He should do good at the camp but will Tess catch up in his thoughts and will his height be a setback in this basketball camp full of tall upperclassmen?

No, I don't think that his thoughts of Tess will start to catch up with because it seems that he is an good basketball player, and good basketball players leave all feelings and drama of the court. Because those thoughts will start to make your game slip away from you. I also don't think that Danny height will be a set back because here was a cuople of short players in the NBA who played against people whose was twice there size. So I think if Danny just play hard and keep his drama of the court he would do good.

Ramon, watch the formatting. The title should be separate from the Author/Title/Pages. Also, there are a couple of errors in here.

I like the content of your post. It's often hard for underclassmen to compete with upperclassmen. There seems to be such rapid development between 14-18. Even if kids have the physical prowess, the mental experience is often lacking.
