NZ Breakers

10 boys from our school were very lucky to go over North Harbour to the breakers training court yesterday.

Just as we drove through we were all excited and we jumped off, we walk in and we thought it was only going to be our school there. Suddenly there were three other schools, Glen taylor, Glen Innes and St Kents. We watched them play and train for 1 hour and boy oh boy they were good. During the game this guy called Akil Mitchell  kept dunking everywhere. After watching them train hard and putting the effort in we played some games and we play this game called knockout with Alex Pledger and Jordan Ngatai. After that we went around in our schools to get our basketballs sign. We finally played be ourselves and had fun with our school mates.

DrumLine

Drumline is not my favourite movie but the last scene was awesome.

I loved how they had a drum off and Morris Brown’s team went head to head with A&T, Morris Brown was the defining champions until A&T beat them in 2002. The last scene is my favourite because when they were battling the beats were sick and there was this guy called Devon miles( Nick Cannon) who was fabulous, his hands look were like the speed of the flash legs. The sound of the drums were spectacular and it motivated me to play the drums after watching it.
