Saint Joseph School

Despite the mind numbing cold, despite having to learn new calls, especially despite his rebuttal of Biff, it was still there. That niggling tickle in the back of his mind that kept asking "who?" You could feel it, like a blanket over the practice, smothering the work. You sure didn't need to be a ...

Oby hit the field that next morning, Damn, 5 o'clock should only come once a day . It was dark, and the stadium lights didn't do much to disperse the either the darkness of the day, or of the mood everyone was feeling. It was dark, dawn not yet breaking. It was wet, with the morning dew still crisp ...

The fourth quarter opened with the Monarchs trying to drive after the interception. With the ball on the 20, Lear stepped back to pass, rifling a ball towards the end zone and Jimmy Tudor. Tudor raced to the corner of the end zone, outstretching his sure hands to haul in the pass for the touchdown ...

3rd Quarter


The second half started with the Monarchs kicking off to the Flyers. Lucas Alexander took the ball and started left. He was hit hard at the Flyer 25, but somehow managed to escape the pileup. He kept running across the 50, and cut back to avoid a tackle. He planted a stiff arm to the ...

2nd Quarter

"Come on Flyers, give em no money!" Sam yelled to the defense.

It started as a practice thing, Coach Waters knew, but he liked what he was seeing. The team was playing together. Whether this 'no money' thing was the spark or not, he didn't care, the fact remained they were playing as a ...

1st Quarter:

Biff Hannigan watched the coin flip in the air and land on Heads. The Monarchs won and elected to receive. "Tails never fails, my ass." Biff mumbled, as he trotted off the field.

The cheerquad watched as Sam teed the ball up and they turned towards the crowd crouching a bit and ...

Pregame:

The coach had the team sit in the locker room surrounding him, in the middle of the room.

"Well, " He said, pacing slightly, addressing them, "here we are. Three games left. So far, we've been given gifts. The other teams have played Santa Claus." Coach Waters started to work up into ...

Oby picked himself up off the ground again, and heard the unmistakeable sound of someone running sprints. Gazing over he saw Damian running switch sprints. Starting off backwards, as if a receiver ran at him, then turning and sprinting, or cutting inside or outside, shadowing the "receiver". Oby was ...

Oby got to practice early again, following the last victory. Everyone had been celebrating, but Oby still knew there was something missing. The team as a whole had played two halves of good football the entire season. The second half of each of the last two games, and they still had their harder ...

Oby trotted to catch up to Luke Bartel, and slapped him on the helmet. "Hey, Luke, Coach meant us. We have to watch for each other. You get the ball, I destroy the linebacker and get him out of your way. I get the ball, you do the same." Oby grabbed Luke's facemask and gave him a headbutt with a ...

Antoine watched the Titans score again, and spat on the ground. He rapped Stephen Reed on the helmet and pounded Bryan Baxter on the shoulder pads. "Come on guys, this is ridiculous. We're a way better football team than this crap! Bryan, I know you can burn their secondary up, so get on it. Reed ...

4th Quarter

"De-Fense DE-FENSE!" The cowd yelled, at the urging of the Cheer Squad as the Mustangs got the ball back in the fourth quarter.

The defense was giving ground to the Mustang offense, who'd managed a long, sustained drive to the Flyer 18 yard line. Hannigan huddled them up. "All right ...

3rd Quarter

After the kickoff, the Flyers took the ball on their own 35 yard line. After short runs and a few short passes, they moved the ball up to the Mustang 42 yard line.

Reed huddled them up and got the signals for the next play from the Coach. "Okay, Tail 2, tackle dive, on two." The ...

Halftime

The cheer squad put on a performance that outdid the weather. Despite the we conditions, Bree led the squad in an aerobatic show that had most of the crowd forgetting about the soggy conditions

Things in the lockeroom could have used some good will from the squad.

The team tried to ...

2nd Quarter

The 2nd Quarter started with much the same action as the 1st ended with. Both teams running the ball for the majority of the plays, in a back and forth tilt on the gridiron. The first big break of the game came at the midpoint of the quarter. The Flyers were driving down the field ...
