leave the moon-ball court.

her body feel heavy. But that was nothing compared
to the heavy weight on her shoulders. It was hard,
being captain of the Constellation. Her teammates

Meteors would mean sitting out the rest of the
play-offs.

This is because the next sentence after the highlighted one reads, “It was hard, being captain of the Constellation.” This shows that her responsibility was a lot for her.
