A Long Ride Home...

Heading to Colorado was a blast Connor spent most of his time with his father has they went over the game plan to go up against a juggernaut in high school football, ThunderRidge. Great on both sides of the ball Connor figured his day wasn't going to be a walk in the park. They had a great QB that was going to take advantage of Connor at any opening, and a fast defensive line that would negate Connors top end speed.

As the game began VM came out fast getting stops on defense and moving the ball on offense. Until THS decided it was enough, the began to spy Connor and kept hitting him sometimes even after the ball was thrown. VM staid in the game and sat themselves up with a chance to win with a stop on forth down, however that stop would never come and a sweep to the opposite side of the field would allow them to score. After a few sacks and shutdown cover Connor had failed to lead his team to a victory.

On the ride home the bus was silent, so quite that a drop Gatorade sounded like a gun shot going off. Coach Newman was focused on his Ipad as he was trying to figure out what could have went wrong. While Connor beat up, bruised, and battered laid slumped over against the window trying to think about what he could have done better himself, feeling as though he had not just let his team down, but his father.

The next week seemed to go on forever. VM was not use to losing, and everyone wanted to blame the newcomers, for the loss. Connor spent extra time in the wight-room and on the track trying to be a step fast a bit stronger. Then came a piece of mail, on it was a stamp from UCLA. UCLA wanted to express an interest in Connor not only at corner-back but at quarterback. Connor who seemed to have only one person in the town believe in him just found out that just maybe someone else might as well.
