The Outside Shot

An African American boy named Lonnie Jackson who was born and raised in Harlam, New York playing basketball his whole life and got very good at it. His dream was always to make it to the NBA. He wanted a full scholarship for basketball to a good high school basketball team mostly because if he played good in those games as he was in college scouts would check him out and coaches would want him on their team and his dream would come true.

Once he got older he became better and better at basketball, he got a full scholarship to Montclare, Indiana were he got to be on the basketball team. He took a flight from New York to Indiana, the school paid for his flight and everything. When he got off the plane he was escorted from the assistant coach and the coach took him to the car and brought him to the school and showed him to his dorm.  

He shared a dorm with 3 guys on the basketball team. Their names were Sly, Calvin, and Juice. They greeted Lonnie in a nice way and made him feel comfortable. They told him all about the basketball team how everything worked, and all about the classes and how tough the coaches are so he would be prepared for everything that  was going on.
