Jake Maddox: On Guard

Jake Maddox: On Guard — page 5 — Look out everybody We're back Trey announced So any more challengers Pete added The Smith Smithereens are ready to play some more two on two Pete though he wasn't the oldest cousin was one of the best basketball players in the family And when he teamed up with Trey like he always did no one could beat them We'll take you two on a voice said Trey and Pete turned around It was Uncle Rob and his daughter Jessa Jessa and I have been practicing Uncle Rob added Trey and Pete laughed and high fived each other No problem Trey said He called over to one of his cousins for the ball Let's do it Uncle Rob and Jessa started with the ball Rob was much taller than both boys and Jessa who was fifteen was as tall as Trey

Jake Maddox: On Guard — page 6 — Still when Rob took his first shot Pete jumped up and knocked the ball right into Trey's hands Ha Pete shouted That was a nice shot Uncle Rob Trey drove the ball fast up the court and scored an easy two points Rob and Jessa looked at each other and rolled their eyes but that didn't stop Trey and Pete The cousins continued to shoot and score After every basket block or steal the two Smith boys would high five and holler They felt great and they quickly had an unbeatable lead

Jake Maddox: On Guard — page 7 — By the time the game was over the score was 21 to 4 Trey's dad had shown up to watch the end He stood on the sidelines next to Uncle Theo Pete's dad Well there's no doubt about it Uncle Rob said He looked worn out You two are a great team Thanks Pete said smiling I wonder though Trey's father said What would happen if these two played against each other for once Might be interesting to see Uncle Theo agreed
