The atmosphere is electric. Everyone and their dog is here tonight for the big game! Not only will the best record and bragging rights will be at store tonight, there will be scouts from Division I-A schools here as well!

Chapter 8After dropping Claudia off at her house, I went back home to see what was wrong with my parents. To be truthful, I didn’t give it much thought—thanks in part to Allison’s surprise appearance. I pull up into my driveway and pull the key out of the ignition. Then, I unlock the door to…

Things this summer have progressed kind of slowly. It’s hard to believe Claudia and I will be seniors! I remember when my senior year felt so far away. I saw days crawl at a stealthy pace, like a soldier slithering towards his intended target. The time came to begin training camp for the upcoming...
