Mathlete Personal Foul I got my second taste of the giant in PE on Friday. “I’m Coach Baxter,” he said in that booming voice. “Welcome to my class.” When I looked at the guys’ faces, I could tell which ones hadn’t seen him before. Their mouths were hanging open in total shock. But I was a step ahead of them. I’d already decided that gym-class basketball was an awesome chance to show Coach my moves before tryouts. We split up into teams, and I moved to center court for the tip-off. It wasn’t my usual position, so I’d be showing Coach how flexible I was. He stood next to me and Paul, who was playing center for the other team. When the ball was tossed, I went for it. My fingers hit it first, and I pushed the ball toward Nicky Chu. He caught it and pivoted fast before passing it to Nate James. Nate was the fastest guy on the Pioneers, and he made a breakaway, dribbling toward the basket. The rest of us ran hard to keep up, and I was glad I’d done so much jogging in the summer.
