scanning the competition.
There are two boys at 16U tryouts who are as tall or taller than me. One is a white kid, Sean, who is slow as molasses in January (Coach Jenson used to call Greg Day "slow as molasses in January" back in our practices).

It looks like you're working on a creative project involving poetry and visual art using a source text. While I can't directly assist you with images or Notability, I can help you brainstorm topics, identify relevant excerpts, and select meaningful words for your poem.
### 1. Topics from Your Text:
- Competition in Basketball
- Self-Perception and Confidence
- Physical Attributes and Skills
- The Dynamic of Team Play
- Mentorship and Coaching
### 2. Relevant Excerpts:
You might focus on the sections that discuss the competition among the players, physical attributes, or your feelings during the trial. For example:
- "There are two boys at 16U tryouts who are as tall or taller than me."
- "...I would break him in half if I played against him in a game, because I am explosive."
- "I realize I have not even changed into my new shoes."
### 3. Choose Words for the Poem:
From your chosen excerpts, here are some words you might find meaningful:
- Competition
- Tall
- Explosive
- Skills
- Confidence
- Tryouts
- Shooting
- Coaches
- Drills
### 4. Highlight and Blackout:
In this stage, you would:
- Draw boxes around the selected words from your list.
- Color the surrounding areas or blackout the words that aren’t part of the poem using black or colors according to your visual preference.
Feel free to modify any of these ideas to better fit your vision for the project!
