Twas the night before basketball season,
and all through the gym, basketballs were bouncing,
and hitting the rim;
Coach was preparing for the game the next day
as players excitedly went over each play;
They wondered what the games coming soon might bring,
as basketball in Indiana is top of the hill the absolute king;
Nervous to finally play and compete,
they couldn't sit still in their locker room seat;
Coach went over the scouting report with glee,
as the players listened so attentively;
They noticed their match-up with delight,
to put on their school's uniform and go out and fight;
To play for their school and community,
was something they've looked forward to absolutely;
So bring on the visitor, and toss up the ball,
basketball season is like Christmas for all;
Good luck, good luck to each's favorite school,
go out, have fun, and act like a fool;
For it is the home team that will bring you great pride,
so sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride.
