Washington Academy Chapter 11 Parents' Weekend


The closer it got to Labor Day Weekend, the more intense the football
practices became.  All of the players had watched movies of their opponent,
Traverse City West High School, and they knew it would be a difficult game
to win.  All of the players had their pictures taken in the new uniforms,
and they couldn't wait to give them to their parents and friends.

Trip had attained a new level of self-esteem after his sexual episodes with
Robbie, Tracker, Drew and Keith.  He was training hard for the cross-country
meet that would be held during Parents' Weekend, but he knew that only a few
people would attend the meet.  Twelve high schools were entered in the
competition, and the winning team would have a great chance for the State
Championship.

"My dad sent you this package," Trip said to Robbie.  "I hope you realize
that it's illegal to have this in the United States."

Robbie took the package and was thrilled that he'd have a special birthday
gift for his uncle.  Trip's parents lived in Canada and had sent the special
box along with other goodies for their son.  He promised to thank Trip's dad
and pay him for taking the risk to send something for Uncle Dave that wasn't
available in the U.S.  The package looked like a tin of cookies, but Robbie
knew what was really inside.

"I can't wait to see my parents and watch you guys kick ass on Friday
night," Trip said.  "Our cross-country meet is Saturday afternoon, but it's
30 miles away, so we don't expect many spectators.  My parents will be there
for sure, but everyone is gonna be at the football game on Friday night.  I
really miss my parents!"

Robbie just smiled at his buddy.  He had already talked to Guy Stephens
about a surprise for the cross-country team, but he didn't want to give Trip
any hint of their plans.

When Robbie got the first pictures of him wearing his football uniforms, he
had begged Drew to take him to town so he could send two 8" by 10" color
pictures to his aunt and uncle.  The photos were sent by "Overnight Express"
and he was thrilled when his aunt and uncle called him when the pictures
arrived.

"I love these pictures!" David Mathews said to his nephew.  "I'm planning on
framing one for my desk at work and the other will be on the wall of my
office here at home!  This is a great birthday present from you!  You look
fantastic in that uniform, and I'm proud of you for making the team!"

Robbie had been excited when he got the prints, and wanted to share them
with the two people who had raised him and changed his life.  He had another
birthday surprise for his uncle, but he kept that a secret.  He couldn't
wait until Friday evening!

Most of the parents arrived on Friday evening and checked into motels in the
Traverse City area.  The football game started at 7:00 p.m., and the
football players wouldn't see their parents until the reception after the
game ended.  The entire George Washington Academy campus was alive with
activity, with cadets welcoming their parents prior to boarding buses or to
join the caravan of cars heading to the Traverse City West stadium.

WTCM, Channel 12, was broadcasting the game on local television, and two
seasoned commentators were giving the pre-game information about the two
talented teams.  Bernie Thomas was the lead commentator, and he began the
broadcast by saying, "We welcome our television audience to the first game
in the Tri-County Conference, pitting the Chargers of Traverse City West
High School against the Eagles of the George Washington Academy.  This is a
special treat for our viewers because, for the past four years, the winner
of this game has gone on to win the League Championship."

"We're not the only ones interested in this game tonight," George Martin
added.  "Before the game even started I talked to scouts from at least 10 of
the top universities in this country, not including West Point, the Air
Force Academy, and the Naval Academy at Annapolis.  These two powerhouses in
athletics have developed some of the finest collegiate and professional
football players of any high schools in the nation."

"Last year, this game was played on the George Washington Academy Campus,
and the cadets won the game by a score of 21 to 14," Bernie Thomas stated.
"David Benson had a great game and we saw the raw talent of Andrew Anderson,
who made his debut at quarterback.  Anderson threw two touchdown passes in
that game, one to Justin Chambers and the other to David Benson.  The cadets
dominated the Chargers in that game, but the score was closer than the
statistics showed.  Toby Crenshaw and Keith Phillips anchored a solid
defensive line, and Latrelle Norton went on to win All State, and High
School All-American honors at middle linebacker.  The Eagles ran the table,
and won the League Championship and went all the way to the SilverDome,
where they won the State Championship!"

"The cadets are coached by Guy Stephens, my pick as the best high school
coach in Michigan," George Martin added.  "Stephens is the Athletic Director
at the Academy, and has turned down football coaching jobs at several top
universities.  We had the chance to talk to Guy Stephens earlier this week,
and here's what he had to say."

The television audience saw a videotaped interview with Guy Stephens and
heard him respond to the interviewer.

"Guy Stephens, your football team are the defending State Champions, but
this weekend you'll be facing what might be your toughest opponent," Sarah
Myles began.  "You lost some key players to graduation, and your linemen are
40 to 50 pounds lighter than the Traverse City West Charger players.  Can
your players match up to the talent of the Chargers?"

"In every game we played last year," Guy Stephens began, "the opponents'
linemen were heavier than my players, but that didn't stop us from going
undefeated and winning the State Championship at the SilverDome.  We have a
conditioning program that emphasizes strength and speed over large body
mass.  Our heaviest lineman weighs 275 pounds, and it's all muscle.  We've
faced linemen that weigh well over 300 pounds in several of our games last
year, and we prevailed!"

"Mike Bass, coach of the Chargers, has a seasoned quarterback in seniors
Richmond Adams, and Leroy Bennett, a consensus All-American at wide
receiver," Sarah Myles stated.  "Can your players stop the 'Dynamic Duo'?"

"Our defense is coached by Derrick Harmon," Guy Stephens replied.  "Derrick
has some plans to keep the Chargers offense on the sidelines so my offense
can control the ball and the game clock.  Drew Anderson is the best
quarterback that I've ever coached or seen play.  He's big, strong, and a
threat when he throws a pass or runs with the ball.  Anderson won All State
honors last year, along with Honorable Mention in the High School
All-American voting, and could start for any college team in the nation!
Justin Chambers was his favorite receiver last year, and both Anderson and
Chambers are juniors this year.  If they stay healthy, no team in the state
can stop them."

"What's your prediction for the outcome of this important game?" Sarah
asked.

"I'd be foolish to answer that question directly," Guy Stephens replied.
"My players are ready for this game, and I can promise that we'll do our
best to represent the George Washington Academy and all of the alumni and
parents who will be in the stands.  Let the best team win!"

"Guy Stephens is a class act!" Bernie Thomas said after the videotape
finished.  "I found out that Stephens plays golf with Mike Bass, coach of
the Traverse City West Chargers, and the two men are close friends.  Let's
see what Mike said when he was interviewed.

The television audience viewed a similar interview with Sarah Myles when she
talked with Mike Bass.  He expertly handled the same questions that had been
asked of Guy Stephens.

"We've got two talented teams coached by two expert coaches," George Martin
offered.  "There are less than 1,000 cadets on the Academy campus, and they
would normally compete in Class C or D in the State of Michigan, but they
moved up to Class A, and face teams formed from schools with over 5,000
students."

"The Eagles have gifted athletes from all over the world," Bernie Thomas
added.  "It's the dream of every high school coach to have a constant supply
of talent like Guy Stephens has.  Let's see if strength and speed can win
this game tonight over size and weight!"

"This is it!" Guy Stephens said to his players in the locker room.  "Last
year we beat the Chargers and went all the way to the SilverDome where we
won the State Championship!  We're in hostile territory, and they expect to
win the game tonight and rule our league.  I know you guys can win the game
tonight if you follow the game plans and execute!  I remind you that we
represent the finest prep school in the nation.  There will be no trash
talking, no spiking the football, and no personal fouls!  We always hand the
ball to the referees, and we show them respect!  Any cadet that breaks my
rules will wish he were dead!  Do I make myself clear?"

"YES SIR!" was the unanimous reply from all of the football players.

"LET'S GO KICK ASS!" Guy said.  He led his team out of the locker room and
out on the playing field to the sounds of the Academy Band playing their
Fight Song and their cheering fans.

"The Eagles' band is striking up the Fight Song, and the Eagles are taking
the field, led by their team captain, David Benson!" George Martin
announced.  "The Eagles have a huge crowd here for this important game!
It's Parents' Weekend on the Academy Campus, and important people from all
over the world have come to cheer on their favorite high school team!"

"I don't know of another high school in the nation that can boast of having
15 members of the U.S. House of Representatives, 5 U. S. Senators, and 3
foreign ambassadors, not to mention several Generals and Admirals!" Bernie
Thomas announced.  "This is the 99th year for the George Washington Academy,
and we've heard that next year will bring an even larger host of dignitaries
back to the campus that launched their important careers."

"The Eagles are wearing new uniforms this year." George Martin said.
"Tonight they're wearing their 'away' uniforms, and we see the addition of
the last names of the players.  That will help us broadcast this important
game for the viewing pleasure of our audience.  We're going to take a
commercial break now, but we'll return for the coin toss."

After the commercial break, the commentators continued their pre-game
announcements.

"The Eagles won the toss, and deferred to the second half," Bernie Thomas
said.  "Sven Jorgensen is the new kicker for the Washington Academy, and we
heard that he never saw a football before enrolling in May.  He was a
talented soccer player in Sweden, and has made the transition to kicking a
football."

David and Marie Mathews joined Tom and Carol Anderson, their daughter,
Jennifer, and met River and April Whitestone and their son, Hunter, and
daughter, Crystal in the stands.  All of the families were excited about
this important football game, and hoped that the Eagles would win the game.
The Andersons knew that Drew would play in the game, but the other parents
could only hope that their boys would get some playing time.

"Relax, David!" Marie said to her husband.  "You're acting like you're
getting ready to go out on that field yourself!"

"I'm so excited!" David admitted.  "Our boy's becoming a man, and I love
seeing him wearing that uniform!  This brings back great memories for me!"

The football game was everything that the audience could ask for in
excitement.  When the first half of the game ended, the score was tied 14 to
14 after Sven Jorgensen missed a 34-yard field goal.  The two teams headed
for the locker rooms and the commentators broke for a commercial before
giving the first half statistics.

"Andrew Anderson had a great first half, but the Eagles defense couldn't
prevent Richmond Adams from connecting with Leroy Bennett for two
touchdowns," George Martin said.  "Anderson connected with Justin Chambers
for the first score of the game, and the talented David Benson pushed two
tacklers into the end zone for the other score.  Even the first half
statistics have these two teams tied!"

"Guy Stephens likes a balanced attack of short passes from Anderson and the
punishing running of David Benson," Bernie Thomas added.  "The Eagles
linemen might be lighter, but they're starting to wear down the Chargers
players.  I expect these teams to continue the same game plans in the second
half of this important game."

"We've got them right where we want them!" Guy Stephens exclaimed to his
players in the locker room.  "You did great in the first half, and it's time
for some 'shock and awe'!  We're here to have fun and entertain the crowd
and television audience, and the second half belongs to the cadets of the
George Washington Academy!"

Robbie was so excited that he couldn't control his emotions.  He had been
running up and down the sidelines, congratulating his teammates on
successful plays, and giving encouragement to the ones who made mistakes.
The coaching staff, including the trainers, quickly recognized that Robbie
was firing up the players to compete at a higher level.

"In the second half, we're gonna put more pressure on Adams (Charger
quarterback)", Derrick Harmon announced to the screaming players after they
had calmed down.  "Watch for my signals.  We're gonna blitz the linebackers
or defensive backs to rattle the quarterback, but remember, when we blitz,
we'll be in man-to-man coverage on Bennett.  If we don't sack the
quarterback or disrupt his rhythm, they can burn us!"

The two teams came back on the field to get ready for the second half
kickoff.  The stands were filled to overflowing, and the crowd was cheering
for their favorite team.

"Justin Chambers takes the kick at his own 10 yard line and is hit hard at
the 26," Bernie Thomas announced.  "Chambers is up, but he's shaken up and
will have to sit down on the Eagles' bench.  I expect Guy Stephens to
continue the balanced attack of short passes and the power running of David
Benson!"

"TRACKER'S GOING IN!" Hunter Whitestone screamed.  "MY BIG BROTHER'S GONNA
PLAY!"

"OH MY GOD!" David Mathews exclaimed.  "ROBBIE'S GOING IN TOO!"

"The Eagles are coming to the line in the 'spread offense'!" Bernie Thomas
announced excitedly.  "Tracker Whitestone is split out wide to the left, and
Robert Mathews is split out wide to the right!  The Chargers look confused
at this new formation, and we're surprised to see two freshmen split out as
wide receivers!  What's Guy Stephens thinking?"

"Anderson takes the snap and fakes a handoff to Benson," George Martin said.
  "He hands off the ball to Whitestone on an 'end around' but the Chargers
are closing in on Whitestone on the right sideline!  Whitestone wheels
around and throws a pass back to Anderson!  That's a backward pass, and it's
a lateral!  Anderson unleashes a long pass down the field and he's got an
open receiver!"

"ROBBIE'S OPEN!" David Mathews screamed when he realized that the Eagles
were trying a trick play.  He screamed even louder when Robbie caught the
ball and raced towards the end zone!

"Andrew Anderson threw a perfect pass from his own 18 yard line to Robert
Mathews at the Chargers' 35 yard line!" Bernie Thomas announced.  "Mathews
never had to slow down to catch the pass and he's gonna take it to the
house!  He's at the 20, 15, 10, 5, TOUCHDOWN EAGLES!"

'THAT'S MY BOY!" David Mathews screamed.

"THAT'S MY BROTHER!" Hunter screamed back.

"THAT'S MY SON, TOO!" Tom Anderson yelled.

The three families all celebrated with hugs and "high fives" and watched
Robbie hand the ball to the referee in the end zone.  They all saw Robbie
talking to the official and then accept the ball back.

"The ref gave Robbie the ball!" Hunter Whitestone exclaimed.  "He gets to
keep it!"

"His first high school touchdown!" David Mathews exclaimed.  "What a
wonderful act by the referee!"

The Eagle fans were still screaming their approval of the trick play and the
long touchdown pass while Robbie was swarmed by his exuberant teammates.  He
held the football high in the air and jumped into the arms of Drew Anderson.

"YOU DID IT!" Drew screamed while spinning Robbie around.  "YOU FUCKING DID
IT!"

Robbie had tears of joy running down his face when he ran to the sideline
and handed the ball to Guy Stephens.  "Can you please save this for my
uncle?" he asked his coach.

"You did great!" Guy Stephens said to the young cadet after hugging him.  He
had originally planned for Justin Chambers to be in the play and catch the
pass, but the hard hit on the kickoff made that impossible.  Robbie had
practiced the play several times, and was the obvious choice with Chambers
injured.

"The extra point by Sven Jorgensen is good!" Bernie Thomas announced.  "The
Eagles now lead by a score of 21 to 14!  Let's watch the replay of that
amazing play!"

"Guy Stephens fooled us!" George Martin said.  "We expected him to pound the
ball through the middle with David Benson, but Andrew Anderson threw a bomb
of over 45 yards to a wide open Robert Mathews!"

"Don't forget a perfect fake to Benson up the middle before Anderson handed
the ball off to Tracker Whitestone!" Bernie Thomas added.  "Whitestone's
listed as a backup quarterback, and he suckered the Charger defense into
thinking he was going to run the ball before firing a perfect pass back to
Anderson.  The Charger defensive backs came up to contain Whitestone, and
that left Mathews all alone at the 50-yard line, and he was running full
speed when he caught that pass at the 35 yard line.  My hat's off to Guy
Stephens for creating that play, and the Eagles linemen for blocking the
Charger linemen to give the play time to develop.  We'll be right back after
a short commercial break."

"Can you believe that play?" David Mathews asked Tom Anderson and River
Whitestone.  "That was unbelievable!"

"Our boys did great!" Tom Anderson replied.  "Coach Stephens fooled
everyone, including me!  I was sure that Tracker'd be tackled for a loss,
but he made a perfect pass back to Drew, and my son hit Robbie perfectly!
Robbie's faster than anyone on the field!"

"We're ready for the kickoff by Sven Jorgensen," Bernie Thomas announced to
the television audience.

Both announcers and the entire crowd were shocked when Sven's kick tumbled
and bounced in the air only 15 yards from the kicking tee.  It was an
"on-side kick" and after the ball traveled 10 yards, it was a free ball.

"It's an on-side kick!" Bernie Thomas announced excitedly.  "There's a mad
scramble for the ball, and the Eagles have got it!  In the first half of
this game, Guy Stephens called a series of short passes and power running by
David Benson, but in this half of the game, Coach Stephens has pulled out
all of the stops!  The Chargers never anticipated the on-side kick, and the
Eagles now have a first down on the Chargers' 45-yard line!  What an
exciting game for our television audience and this jam packed stadium!"

Tom Anderson, River Whitestone, and David Mathews were thrilled to be
watching their boys play football, and began a bond of friendship that would
last for a long time.  They were all proud of the Academy and their sons for
being on the football team.

"The Eagles come up to the line of scrimmage with Whitestone split out wide
to the left, and Chambers split wide to the right," Bernie Thomas announced.
  "Do you think Stephens will try the same trick play again?"

"Anderson takes the snap and drops back to pass!" George Martin said.  "He's
got time, and he fires a bomb to Tracker Whitestone!  He's got it at the
10-yard line and streaks into the end zone for another Washington Academy
touchdown!  Can you believe it?  In a total of two offensive plays, the
cadets have scored two touchdowns!  Both Whitestone and Mathews are
freshmen, and they have both found the end zone in their first games wearing
the blue and gold of the George Washington Academy!"

Hunter and Crystal Whitestone were screaming with joy when their older
brother scored that vital touchdown.  They both gave everyone near them a
"high five" and kept screaming, "THAT'S MY BROTHER!"  They saw Tracker talk
to the referee before getting the ball back to take it to the sidelines.
They were both excited and couldn't wait to congratulate their big brother
and see the football.

"Guy Stephens has pulled out all of the stops here in the second half!"
Bernie Thomas announced after Sven Jorgensen kicked the extra point.  "The
cadets now lead by a score of 28 to 14, and the Chargers are rattled!
There's a flag down on the field, so let's wait and see what the call is."

"Personal foul for roughing the kicker!" the referee announced.  "The extra
point is good, and the penalty will be assessed on the kickoff!"

Guy Stephens and Derrick Harmon celebrated on the sidelines and tried to
control their excited players.  They didn't want their team to be penalized
for excessive celebration, but they hugged both Tracker and Drew after the
long touchdown pass.  The game was going exactly the way they had planned
and hoped for.

"Sven Jorgensen's kick sails out of the end zone, and the Chargers will
start on their own 20 yard line," Bernie Thomas said.  "Let's see if the
Chargers can respond to two quick touchdowns with a drive of their own to
the end zone."

Derrick Harmon knew that he had to call defensive plays that would keep the
Chargers from getting some momentum.  He called for a blitz by his star
linebacker, Latrelle Norton, but the quarterback, Richmond Adams found Leroy
Bennett open for a 30-yard gain.  On the next play, Richmond Adams was
sacked for a 7-yard loss.

"The Eagles are blitzing on every down!" Bernie Thomas announced.  "Richmond
Adams had better get rid of the ball quickly, or he'll be on his back!"

On the next play, Leroy Bennett caught another pass and the Chargers had a
first down on the 30-yard line of the Eagles.  The crowd was going wild at
the excitement of the football game.

"We have a time out called by the officials," Bernie Thomas announced.  "Tom
Kosmanski has been guarding Leroy Bennett, and he's slow to get up after
making the tackle over at the far sidelines.  We saw some physical activity
after the catch by Bennett for the first down, but we couldn't see what
happened.  Kosmanski is being helped across the field by the Eagle trainers,
and this could be a bad sign for the Eagles.  The Eagles can't control
Bennett without their top defensive back!"

"Time out, Washington Academy!" the official announced.

"Defensive coach Derrick Harmon's in trouble now!" Bernie Thomas announced.
"We don't know what happened after the catch by Leroy Bennett, but Coach
Bass is chewing Bennett out right now, and Coach Stephens is arguing with
the officials.  I can only guess that Bennett did something to enrage both
coaches, but no penalty was called."

"He hit me in the balls!" Tom Kosmanski moaned to his coaches.  "The bastard
is trash talking on every play, and I can't keep up with him!"

Derrick Harmon was livid, and joined his boss in arguing for a personal foul
on the wide receiver of the Traverse City West Chargers.  He and Guy were
unsuccessful in convincing the official, and he now had to put a replacement
into the game in a very difficult situation.

"Put Robbie on that asshole!" Drew Anderson suggested to his coaches.
"Robbie can stay with him and nail the bastard!"

Derrick Harmon thought about his options and looked at the excited face of
Robert Mathews.  "Can you shut him down?" he asked of Robbie.  "He's taller
and stronger than you are, but you're fast.  Can you do it?"

Guy Stephens interrupted his friend.  "Bennett is eight inches taller and at
least 40 pounds heavier than you are.  You told me that you want to be a
Navy SEAL!  Now's your chance to prove that you're tough enough to be a SEAL
candidate!  Don't let his trash talking make you lose your focus!  This
entire team's depending on you!"

Derrick Harmon grabbed Robbie and looked directly into his eyes before
saying, "Remember during Orientation Weekend when you kicked Anderson's ass
and mine?"

"I apologized to both of you for that!" Robbie replied quickly.

"Shut the fuck up and listen to me!" Derrick demanded.  "Anderson and I are
bigger and stronger than you are.  How did you take us down?  Think about
it!  How did you do it?"

"I remembered what my uncle taught me," Robbie began.  "He said a smaller
guy has to use his brain, agility and leverage to take down a bigger
opponent."

"Bennett's bigger and stronger than you too!" Derrick said to the excited
freshman.  "Tonight, I want you to be a Navy SEAL!  Use your brain, agility
and leverage and take that asshole down!"

Robbie was determined to prove to everyone watching the game that he was
tough enough to stay with the talented wide receiver of the Traverse City
West Chargers.  He gave Drew a "high five" before putting on his helmet to
go out on the field.

"Mathews!" Derrick yelled.  "No leg kicks or Karate chops!"

Robbie laughed at what the coach had just said.  He would never use his
Karate skills against another football player, but the joke relaxed some of
the tension in his body.  He wiped the smile off his face when he started to
use his mind control techniques to get ready for action.

"Robbie's going in!" David Mathews yelled to his friends in the stands.

"I can't believe what I'm seeing!" Bernie Thomas said to his television
audience.  "Robert Mathews is listed at 5 feet 9 inches tall and weighing
160 pounds, and it looks like he'll be lined up against Leroy Bennett!
Bennett is 6 feet five inches  and  220 pounds!  Coach Bass will definitely
try to take advantage of this mismatch and throw to Bennett!"

"I'm gonna run right over your lily white ass and stomp on your tiny little
nuts when I do it!" Leroy Bennett said to Robbie when they faced each other
at the line of scrimmage.

Robbie didn't say a word to Bennett, but he glared right back at the tall
black wide receiver.  "Tom Kosmanski was right!  This guy is a trash talking
asshole!" Robbie thought.  He bit down on his mouthpiece and waited for the
ball to be snapped.

Leroy Bennett was elated!  He had got away with hitting Tom Kosmanski in the
balls, and was now facing a smaller, lighter defensive back.  He was
arrogant, and knew he could run right over Number 17!

"Here's the snap, and Adams drops back to pass!" Bernie Thomas announced.
"OH MY GOD!  WHAT A HIT!"

"Leroy Bennett took off at the snap and was 'submarined' by Robert Mathews!"
George Martin added.  "Adams had to check off from his main receiver and was
sacked for a loss by Toby Crenshaw!  Bennett was flipped over on his back by
the smaller freshman defensive back!  I never expected that to happen to a
talented senior like Bennett!"

"THAT'S MY BOY!" David Mathews screamed to everyone in the stands.  "DID YOU
SEE THAT HIT?"

Marie Mathews was thrilled at what Robbie had done, but she worried about
how emotional her husband was over this football game.  She had never seen
David so excited, and hoped that he had taken his blood pressure medication.

"HOLY SHIT!" Derrick Harmon exclaimed.  "He nailed that asshole good!"

"I told you Robbie could handle Bennett!" Drew exclaimed to both coaches.
All of the players on the sideline were screaming their appreciation of what
Robbie had done.

Robbie leaned down and asked Leroy Bennett, "How does that grass feel on
your back?  Is it softer than artificial turf?"

He held his hand out to help Bennett to his feet, but the nasty black player
snarled at him and said, "I'm gonna kill you, you little honkie fucker!"
Leroy Bennett struggled to his feet and headed back for the huddle of his
teammates, knowing that they would be pissed at him.

Robbie ran to the defensive huddle and accepted the congratulations from his
teammates.  Keith Phillips made sure that everyone knew that Robbie's
handling of Bennett had caused the quarterback to try and find another
receiver.

"You should get credit for half of that sack!" Toby Crenshaw said to Robbie.
  "Nice job, squirt!"

Latrelle Norton, the defensive captain, got the signal and told the Eagle
players what play Coach Harmon had called.  "Cover 2" he said.  "Four man
rush, linebackers stay home and we play zone defense!"

"The Chargers come to the line of scrimmage with second down and 17 yards to
go for a first down," Bernie Thomas announced.  "Crenshaw just showed his
strength by pushing aside 330 pound offensive guard Clayton Morris to sack
Adams for a seven yard loss on that last play."

"I'm gonna catch this pass and shove the ball up your mother fucking ass!"
Leroy Bennett said to Robbie.  He was determined to make up for the last
play by humiliating the small freshman.

"Bennett is split wide to the right, and Jarvis is split wide to the left,"
George Martin said.  "Adams is back in the 'shotgun formation' with no
running back.  Adams takes the snap and has protection!  He fires a pass to
Bennett cutting across the middle of the field!"

"Bennett's hit hard by Robert Mathews, and the ball's dropped for an
incomplete pass!" Bernie Thomas announced.  "That was a big time hit by the
small freshman to knock the ball out of Bennett's hands, but Bennett's
supposed to be the best wide receiver in the state, and maybe the nation!
That pass hit him in the hands, and I think all of the scouts here tonight
expected him to catch that pass!"

"Don't take away the intensity of that hit by Mathews!" George Martin said.
"Mathews put his helmet right on the ball and knocked Bennett flat for the
second time in two plays!  Leroy Bennett has been throttled for the last two
plays by a small freshman!  I guess Derrick Harmon and Guy Stephens knew
what they were doing by putting Mathews in the game!"

"I hope Robbie doesn't kill Bennett!" Derrick said to his boss, Guy
Stephens.  "Maybe you shouldn't have told him to act like a Navy SEAL!"

Guy Stephens laughed at his good friend, Derrick, and reminded him that he
told Robbie the same thing.  The entire team was fired up from watching the
Charger drive get stalled at their 37-yard line.

"Corner blitz" Toby Crenshaw announced to his team after getting the signal
from Coach Harmon.  "Robbie, you're the gunner!  Nail his ass!"

Robbie lined up against Leroy Bennett, and had to listen to another string
of racial slurs and threats.  He stayed close to Bennett until he saw the
center snap the ball to the quarterback.  He ran as fast as he could, and
saw Richmond Adams roll to his left, leaving his back to Robbie.  He lowered
his head and hit the right side of the quarterback, just at the instant
Richmond Adams tried to pass the ball.

"Adams is back to pass, and there's a corner blitz!" Bernie Thomas announced
excitedly.  "He's hit, and the ball sails up into the air!  It's picked off
by Keith Phillips and the big defensive end heads for the south end zone!"

"Phillips is outrunning the pursuit!" George Martin added.  "He's gonna take
it to the house!"

"Keith Phillips picked off that 'wounded duck' pass and took it 70 yards for
another Eagle touchdown!" Bernie Thomas exclaimed.  "Guy Stephens was right
about the speed of his players!  Phillips is listed at 6 feet 5 inches tall
and 255 pounds, but he looked like a running back after he intercepted that
pass!"

Robbie's head was spinning, but he cleared his head and joined his teammates
by running to the end zone to congratulate Keith on the touchdown.  When he
ran up to Keith, he jumped into the big lineman's arms to celebrate another
score for the George Washington Academy.

"DID YOU SEE THAT HIT?" David Mathews screamed.  'THAT'S MY BOY!"

"I don't fucking believe it!" Derrick exclaimed to Guy Stephens.  "Mathews
hit him like a freight train!  We've created a monster!"

"That monster just got us six points!" Guy replied excitedly.  "He's just
like his uncle!"
He joined his players in congratulating Keith Phillips and Robbie Mathews
when they got to the sideline.

"That was a pro football hit!" Tom Anderson said while congratulating David
Mathews.  "What the fuck did you feed that kid to make him so tough?"

"Marie's a great cook and Robbie eats like a horse!" David replied.
"Robbie's got the heart of a Navy SEAL, and I'm so proud of him that I'm
ready to shit my pants!"

"You men!" Carol Anderson exclaimed.  "This is a football game!  Clean up
your language!"

Marie Mathews and Carol Anderson were both excited about the football game,
but they couldn't believe that their husbands were so excited that they were
using foul language in front of teenaged children.

"We hear worse in school!" Crystal Whitestone said.  "The Eagles are kicking
ass!"

All of the adults laughed and realized that the intensity of the game was
affecting everyone.

"When the second half of this game began, we expected a close game and a
defensive battle," Bernie Thomas announced after Sven Jorgensen kicked the
extra point.  "The George Washington Academy Eagles now lead this game by a
score of 35 to 14, and there are only 10 minutes left in this game!  The
Traverse City West Chargers are getting blown off their home field, and this
crowd is going wild!  We're taking a commercial break, but we'll be back for
the kickoff!"

Guy Stephens and Derrick Harmon called all of their players together for a
quick meeting during the official time out.  They wanted to make sure that
all of their players remained focused and followed their game plans.

"This game is ours!" Guy said to his exuberant players.  After the players
stopped cheering he continued.  "We scored two touchdowns in less than two
minutes, but they can too if we lose our focus!  We can't let them get back
into this game by letting down our guard!"

"They'll try to score quickly," Derrick Harmon added.  "We're gonna rush
only 3 men and play zone defense.  Don't let their receivers get behind you,
and when Adams throws a pass, clobber the receiver!  The refs will be
watching for late hits on the quarterback, so make sure you hit him when he
has the ball or break off your attack!  Let's get out there and finish them
off!"

Guy and Derrick were correct in their assessment of the plays that Mike Bass
called for the Chargers offense.  The pass coverage was perfect, and the
Chargers were forced to run the football, using up precious time on the game
clock.

"The Chargers have a first down on their own 45 yard line," Bernie Thomas
announced.  "The Eagles are in a prevent defense, and the Chargers are
forced to run the ball or throw short passes.  The game clock is now the
enemy of the Chargers, and they'll have to take some risks to get the ball
down the field, or this game will be over!"

"I'm gonna catch the next pass for a touchdown and then ram my black cock so
far up your ass that it comes out your mouth!" Leroy Bennett exclaimed to
Robbie.  He was sure that he could intimidate the small defensive back.

"That would be impossible!" Robbie began.  "Latoya said your dick is so
short that you piss on your nuts!"

Leroy Bennett was capable of dishing out the verbal abuse, but wasn't
capable of taking it.  He was so furious with the small defensive back that
he broke his stance before the ball was snapped and slammed into Robbie.  He
grabbed Robbie's facemask and spun him to the turf.

Robbie had intentionally tried to piss off Leroy Bennett, and had relaxed
when he saw the official throw the penalty flag and whistle the play dead.
He wasn't ready for a physical attack and was thrown to the turf by the
irate player.

"We have two penalties on the play," the referee announced to the crowd.
"False start by Number 1 of the offense, and after the play was whistled
dead, we have a personal foul for grabbing the facemask against Number 1 of
the offense.  Both penalties will be assessed!"

"The Chargers are self-destructing!" Bernie Thomas announced.  They are now
backed up to their own 20 yard line, with a first and 30!"

"The officials have called a time out!" George Martin announced.  "Both
benches are getting a visit from the referee, so let's take another
commercial break while the officials talk to both coaches.

"The trash talking has got to stop!" the referee said to Guy Stephens.  "If
we hear any more crap from any players, they'll be ejected!"

"What did my boy say?" Guy Stephens demanded of the referee.

"You ask him!" the referee replied.  "It made me laugh, but I can't let it
continue!"

"MATHEWS!" Derrick Harmon screamed at Robbie.  'GET YOUR ASS OVER HERE!"

Drew ran up to the two coaches.  He knew that Robbie had a smart mouth and
wondered what his Little Brother had said to Leroy Bennett to enrage him.

"WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU SAY TO BENNETT?" Derrick Harmon demanded of Robbie.
"TELL ME, OR YOUR ASS WILL BE ON THE BENCH FOR THE REST OF THE SEASON!"

"I told you that Bennett was making racial slurs to me!" Tom Kosmanski said
to his coaches.  He wanted to defend Robbie, no matter what the plebe had
said.

"He said he was gonna catch the next pass and then shove his black dick so
far up my ass that it would come out my mouth!" Robbie said.

"WE DIDN'T ASK YOU WHAT HE SAID! Guy Stephens demanded of Robbie.  "ANSWER
THE QUESTION OR SIT ON THE BENCH!"

Robbie knew that his coaches were pissed at him, and honestly replied, "I
told him that wasn't possible."  Robbie didn't know what his coaches would
do if he told the truth, but he saw Drew encouraging him to tell the truth.
"I told him that Latoya said his dick was so short that he pisses on his
nuts!"

Drew and Tom Kosmanski exploded in laughter.  The other players near the
coaches joined in the laughter until Guy Stephens gave them the "SEAL Look".
  They quickly retreated to the group of players and immediately told
everyone what Robbie had said.

"Who the fuck is Latoya?" Derrick asked Robbie.

"I don't know," Robbie replied honestly.  "I just used a name that sounds
like it might be a black girl, and it seemed to work to piss him off!  He
must have a short winky!"

"God help me!" Guy exclaimed.  "You handle this!" he said to Derrick while
turning away from his players.

"No more trash talk!" Derrick ordered.  "Get your ass back out there and
shut him down!"

"My mouth's full of blood!" Guy admitted to Derrick.  "When I heard what
Robbie said, I tried to keep from laughing out loud with Anderson and
Kosmanski, and the only way I could was to bite my cheek!  I'm glad you were
able to talk to him!"

My cheek's bleeding too!" Derrick admitted to his friend.  "That little shit
could intimidate the Pope!"

"Bennett is split wide to the right, and Smith is split wide to the left,"
George Martin announced when the game resumed.  "Adams takes the snap and
drops back quickly.  He fires the ball to his right to Leroy Bennett!  IT'S
PICKED OFF!  Robert Mathews took that ball right out of the hands of Leroy
Bennett, and Mathews is headed for the south end zone.  He's in the end
zone, and the Eagles now lead by a score of 41 to 14!"

"Leroy Bennett should have caught that pass!" Bernie Thomas announced.  "He
let a smaller guy take that pass away from him, and never pursued Mathews to
tackle him!  By the time he wised up, all he could see was the taillights of
the 'Mathews Express' headed for the end zone!  Even the officials had
trouble catching up with Mathews!"

Robbie had taken a chance in blasting across the line of scrimmage to hit
Leroy Bennett.  When he saw the quick pass from the quarterback, he took
another chance and went for the ball.  The adrenalin was pumping through his
body when he raced towards the end zone, and he never slowed down until he
crossed the goal line!  He stood in the end zone and spun the football
around on his index finger while he faced the stands where he knew his aunt
and uncle were seated.  When the official made it to the end zone, Robbie
stopped the spinning football and handed it to the official before being
swarmed by his teammates.

Keith Phillips had a special bond with Robbie, and was thrilled that the
plebe had scored another touchdown.  From the day he met Robbie and had
temporarily been his Big Brother, Keith wished that he had been the Big
Brother for both Robbie and Tracker.  He ran up to Robbie and opened his
arms to catch a very special plebe.

"YOU FUCKING BURNED HIM!" Keith screamed at Robbie.  "YOU FUCKING DID IT!"

Robbie had trouble seeing.  His eyes were filled with tears of joy, and he
loved the recognition and admiration of his teammates.  He ran back to the
sidelines where Drew and the other players were waiting for him.  He jumped
into Drew's arms and put both fists in the air in celebration!  The crowd
was going wild, especially seeing Robbie holding his fists in the air,
screaming "YES, YES, YES!"

"JESUS CHRIST IS HE GREAT!" Guy Stephens screamed to Derrick Harmon.  "CAN
YOU BELIEVE WHAT WE JUST SAW?"

"Can you imagine how good he must be in baseball?" Derrick replied.  "He's
fucking fantastic at football, but David said his best sport is baseball!
Terry Pahls will go nuts when the baseball season begins.  Robbie's a 'chip
off the old block' and it's like we have David Mathews on the field!  That
boy's tough as nails!"

Guy Stephens and Derrick Harmon pushed through the mass of players
congratulating Robbie on the touchdown, and both of them took turns hugging
the exuberant plebe.

David Mathews was overwhelmed when he saw his boy intercept the pass and
score another touchdown for the Eagles.  He was screaming to everyone,
"THAT'S MY BOY!"  He accepted the congratulations of everyone in the stands
for the performance of the boy that he and his wife raised.

"The extra point is good, and the Eagles now lead by a commanding score of
42 to 14!" Bernie Thomas announced.  "In all of my years broadcasting high
school sports, this is the most exciting game I've ever witnessed!  We'll
take a commercial break, but we'll be right back to show the replay of that
exciting interception and touchdown run!"

The Chargers took the kickoff to their own 28-yard line, and began
completing short passes and runs.  The clock was running and the Eagles were
excited about winning this important game.

"The Chargers have a first down on the 45 yard line of the Eagles," Bernie
Thomas announced.  "Richmond Adams and Leroy Bennett have been throttled by
the Eagles' defense, and all they can do is hope for a touchdown to cut down
the margin of victory."

"Tom Kosmanski has returned to the Eagles lineup, but Mathews is still
guarding Bennett," George Martin added.  "Bennett hasn't caught a single
pass since the small freshman came into this game, and his stock with the
college scouts has dropped to zero!  With only five minutes left to go in
this game, the Eagles are going wild on the sidelines!"

"Adams takes the snap and drops back to pass," Bernie Thomas announced.
"He's got time and he sends a bomb to Leroy Bennett in the Eagles' end zone!
  Bennett jumps high in the air, BUT THE PASS IS INTERCEPTED!  Robert
Mathews out jumped Bennett and came down with the ball!"

"OH MY GOD!" George Martin exclaimed when he saw the actions in the end
zone.  "CUT TO A COMMERCIAL!  NOW!"

Robbie intercepted the pass and went crashing to the turf.  He managed to
hold onto the ball, and tried to stand up to hand the ball to the official.
He was on "all fours" and facing away from Leroy Bennett when he felt the
savage kick that flipped his body over.

David Mathews was shocked to see Leroy Bennett walk up behind Robbie and
kick Robbie in the balls.  The impact of the kick flipped Robbie over, and
David knew his son was severely hurt.  He screamed and started pushing his
way out of the crowd to get down on the field.

Robbie's vision went black when his body reacted to the severe kick in the
groin from Leroy Bennett.  His vision only cleared slightly when he saw a
leg flying towards his ribs.  When he felt the impact, he screamed and
grabbed the leg of his attacker and held it tight while "rolling up".  The
results were immediate.  He heard a sickening crack and snap when Leroy
Bennett's leg and knee ligaments snapped, and then heard his attacker
screaming in pain.

No one could believe what he or she had just witnessed in the end zone.
When reality hit them, all of the players on both teams tore onto the field.

Drew Anderson was the first player to get to Robbie, and he savagely tore
Leroy Bennett off from his Little Brother and threw the asshole over 10 feet
away.  The shock of what he had seen had given him "inhuman" strength, and
he was ready to kill Bennett.  The cadets quickly formed a protective ring
around Robbie and Drew, and fought off the Charger players who tried to get
to their injured teammate.

Guy Stephens and Derrick Harmon raced onto the field along with their
trainers, and joined Mike Bass, coach of the Chargers, his assistant coaches
and trainers, and the officials in trying to separate the players.  They had
never witnessed this type of savage attack, and wanted to kill Leroy Bennett
themselves.  They broke through the protective circle of players and tried
to comfort Robbie Mathews.

Robbie was on his back and had vomited the Gatorade and any food that was
left in his stomach.  He was sobbing and couldn't catch his breath.  He
recognized the voice of Andrew Anderson and tried to fight the intense pain
in his groin and chest.  He knew that he was hurt bad, and struggled to
breathe.  He felt his helmet being removed and gripped Drew's hand tightly
to fight off the pain and stay conscious.

"Get an ambulance!" Guy Stephens ordered Eric Hart, one of the team
trainers.  "Don't move, son!" he said to Robbie.

Marie Mathews knew that her husband was a "lethal weapon" when he was angry,
and she begged Tom Anderson and River Whitestone to run after David to keep
him from killing the player who had attacked their son.  She prayed that Guy
and Derrick would help control David, but she feared that he would kill
Leroy Bennett.

"We're back, but we won't show you what happened after that interception, or
what's going on right now down on the field!" Bernie Thomas announced to the
television audience.  "We don't use any delay in our coverage of football
games, and we apologize to the television audience for showing a savage
attack by Leroy Bennett against Robert Mathews!"

"I've never seen anything like that in my life!" George Martin said.  "We're
taking another commercial break while the officials try to control the
players on the field!"

By the time David Mathews got down on the field, two police officers tried
to stop him from running on the field.  He was pissed, but didn't want to
assault the officers to get to Robbie.  He took a deep breath and told the
officers that Robbie was his son, and he had to get on the field.

"We're back again, but we still won't show you what's happening on the
playing field," Bernie Thomas announced.  "Both coaches are on the field to
separate their players, and we now see an ambulance pulling up next to Leroy
Bennett.  We'll show you the replay of the interception, but we won't show
you the attack that happened in the end zone!"

Mike Bass was livid with the behavior of his players.  He was appalled at
the attack by Leroy Bennett, and violently pulled his players away from the
protective circle of cadets and ordered them to the sidelines.  He knew that
Leroy Bennett was severely injured, but he was ready to attack his own
player for the savage attack on Robert Mathews.  He helped the ambulance
attendants load Leroy on the gurney and then tried to get to his friend, Guy
Stephens to apologize for the unwarranted attack.  The looks on the faces of
the cadets protecting Robert Mathews and the coaches told him to avoid a
confrontation.

Robbie could barely see.  The pains in his balls and ribs were excruciating.
  He gasped for air and tried to use his martial arts training to fight the
intense pain.  He could barely see, but he recognized the voice of his
uncle.  He reached out his left hand and felt his uncle squeezing his hand
and saying things to calm him down.  He fought the pain and tried to relax
by doing the mind control exercises his uncle was describing to him.

"Get that ambulance in here!" Guy Stephens ordered.  "Try to take short,
shallow breaths," he said to Robbie.  "We're gonna get you to a hospital!
Dr. Miller's here!  Talk to her!"

"No Demerol!" Robbie choked out to his favorite doctor.  He was wearing the
"Med Alert" necklace that identified his allergy to the common painkiller,
but he wanted to make sure.

Linda Miller remembered the terrible day when she had injected Demerol into
Robbie when he had been shot at the "Snake Pit", and gave Robbie an
injection of a safe painkiller.  The medication worked quickly, and Robbie
started to relax.

"WHERE'S THAT FUCKING AMBULANCE?" Guy Stephens screamed.

"Our ambulance will be here in a few minutes," Dr. Miller replied.  "The
ambulance assigned to this game took the other player, but I called the
Academy for our ambulance when I saw the attack.  I've called a friend who's
a specialist in urology, and Dr. Hanlon will meet us at Wilson Medical
Center."

David Mathews continued trying to comfort his nephew, and listened to his
friends, Guy Stephens and Derrick Harmon apologizing for the injuries to
Robbie.  He had been ready to kill Leroy Bennett, but listened to Tom
Anderson and River Whitestone pleading with him to take care of Robbie
instead of attacking Bennett.  He watched Dr. Miller put the oxygen mask on
Robbie's face and tried to control the anger that was raging in his body.

"The ambulance is here!" Dr. Miller said.

Robbie pulled the oxygen mask off his face.  His body was filled with pain,
but he cleared his eyes and tried to get up.

"STAY DOWN!" Guy Stephens ordered.

"A SEAL never gets carried off the battle field!" Robbie choked out.

"WHAT THE FUCK?" David asked his two SEAL friends.

"We told Robbie to act like he was a SEAL candidate when he went into the
game," Guy apologized to his mentor.  "He kicked ass tonight, but maybe we
went too far with him."

"Help him stand up!" David Mathews ordered.  He glared at Dr. Miller when
she objected, and saw Guy and Derrick push her aside.  He was determined to
honor the wishes of his nephew, and his body swelled with pride after
hearing that Robbie was trying to act like a Navy SEAL!  He asked Tom
Anderson to get Marie and use his car to take his wife to the hospital to be
with Robbie.

"I don't believe what I'm seeing!" Bernie Thomas announced.  "Turn the
camera back on and show the end zone!  Robert Mathews was savagely attacked,
but the freshman is struggling to his feet!  Keith Phillips and Andrew
Anderson have pushed aside the coaches and medical staff, and are helping
Robert Mathews walk towards the Academy ambulance and a waiting gurney.
This crowd is on their feet!  Everyone on both sides of the stands is
cheering for the injured player!  Robert Mathews has to be the toughest kid
in the world right now!  He was savagely attacked, but he's pushing away his
two teammates, and he's limping over to the gurney!  What a display of
guts!"

"Michael Edwards, the Personnel Director for the Washington Academy is here
with us," George Martin announced.  "Mike has just informed us that Robert
Mathews, who likes to be called Robbie, was raised by his aunt and uncle,
and his uncle, David Mathews is a Navy Captain with a distinguished career
in the Navy SEAL's."

"Robbie's the Martial Arts Champion at the Academy," Michael Edwards said to
the television crowd.  "Earlier this summer, Robbie was shot when he risked
his life to protect Guy Stephens, Drew Anderson and other cadets when an
intruder attacked our campus.  Robbie wants to be a Navy SEAL like his
uncle, and what we're witnessing right now is a teenager who's proving to
everyone here that he's tough enough to be a Navy SEAL candidate!  I'm sure
that everyone is praying for the recovery of Robbie Mathews from these
terrible injuries.  Mike Bass is an honorable man and dedicated football
coach, and I know Mike would never want one of his players to attack another
player like we witnessed tonight."

"The crowd is still applauding the grit of Robbie Mathews" Bernie Thomas
announced.  The ambulance is now leaving, and we saw a man who must be David
Mathews, along with Dr. Linda Miller get inside with Robbie Mathews."

"The referee has cleared the field, and let's go down on the field to hear
how this game will continue," George Martin announced.

"We have multiple fouls on the play," the referee announced through his
microphone.  "We have 'un-sportsman like conduct' on Numbers 1, 28, 74 and
82 from the Chargers, and 'un-sportsman like conduct' on Numbers 17, 6 and
76 from the Eagles.  All of those players are disqualified from this game
and must leave the field immediately!  The result of the play is an
interception and touchback!  The Eagles have a first down on their own 20
yard line!"

Guy Stephens was livid that Drew Anderson, Number 6, and Keith Phillips,
Number 76, had been ejected from the game along with Robbie.  He argued with
the officials, but knew it would do no good.  Robbie had already left the
field, but he ordered Keith Phillips and Drew Anderson to head for the
locker room along with Eric Hart, one of the trainers.

"Robbie's my Little Brother and I need to be with him right now!" Drew
pleaded with the coaches before leaving the game.

"You grab one of the Academy Suburbans and take Anderson with you to the
hospital," Guy said to Derrick.  "I'll be there when the game's over!"

Tracker Whitestone went into the game as quarterback, and expertly ran the
team to run out the game clock.  The fans counted down the last few seconds
of the game, and the George Washington Academy Eagles won by a score of 42
to 14!

Mike Bass ran out on the field for the traditional "hand shake" with the
other coach after a football game.  He was still upset at the behavior of
his players and tried to apologize to his friend, Guy Stephens.

"Guy, you know I'd never condone behavior like that!" Mike Bass said to his
friend, Guy Stephens.  "Bennett's fucked up bad, but even if he recovers,
he'll never wear a Charger uniform again!  I should have kicked his sorry
ass off my team last year, but I didn't.  Please don't let his attack end
our friendship!  Please tell Mathews and his family that I apologize for
what happened."

"Mike, you're still my buddy!" Guy replied.  "I don't blame you for what
happened tonight!  Robbie's a tough kid, and I'm headed for the hospital to
be with him and his uncle.  Derrick's already headed there, and we both know
that you would never want something like this to happen.  David Mathews
trained me at SEAL camp, and he's an honorable man.  I'm sorry that this
shit happened, but I still consider you my friend!"

"Jane Collins is down on the field with Guy Stephens," Bernie Thomas
announced.  "Let's hear what Coach Stephens has to say about this important
victory for his team and the tragic injuries to his freshman player, Robbie
Mathews."

"Coach Stephens, how do you feel about this victory and what happened in the
end zone?" Jane asked Coach Stephens.

"Mike Bass and I are close friends, and we play golf together when we're not
opposing each other on the football field," Guy replied.  "Mike and I are
both appalled at what happened tonight, and we won't tolerate that type of
behavior by our players.  Robbie Mathews is a tough little guy, but he
didn't deserve to be attacked for intercepting a pass!  I'm proud of my
coaching staff and our players for winning this game tonight, but I'm sorry
to cut this interview short so I can get to the hospital to check on my
player."

"I know I express the sentiments of my broadcasting crew in hoping that
Robbie Mathews makes a quick recovery from his injuries," Jane said.  "I'll
send it back to Bernie and George in the press box, with the final score,
George Washington Academy
Eagles, 42, and the Traverse City West Chargers, 14."

The hostilities on the football field were not ended.  More physical
confrontations were going to happen!
