"As I sat considerably lower than the scorer's table, I was excited, giddy, and overwhelmed with pride to get in the game. Across the gym I see my dad smiling and nudging my mom as she lays her knitting needles down. My two younger brothers too had taken note and were ready to cheer me on. The horn goes off and I nod and point to Annette who work-horsedly makes her way off the court drenched by the sweat of work well done.

'I had 23,' she said with a medium level high five, a smile, and a a wipe of sweat off her brow. Sprinting eagerly on the court, I locate number 23 and get into position with all the newly learned defensive knowledge in check. On the line, and up the line."

Annette played quite work-horsedly.

Check that in the dictionary, it's there. hahahahhaha
