Coach Everett Malone thinks over the dream season. He looks over the playbook, a blurry sheet of strange numbers. Nothing emerges from the haze before his eyes. How can he fool West Central? How can he disguise the play? It's just not there. There's nothing left in the coach's tank. He's pulled every trick in the book out of the hat to get his offense going in this game, and there's nothing left.

His players are looking at him, "What do we do, coach?" They wait anxiously.

Malone had better get a call in quick, or his team is going to jump offsides from sheer anxiety. 3rd and 1. Malone looks at QB Lincoln Ingram. Lincoln has captained this team with a maturity well beyond his years. Malone looks at Seth Hackett, an incredible playmaker that outruns LBs, outmuscles safeties. But it's 3rd and 1. Finally, coach Malone looks at the one player who was made for just this moment—an ever-reliable player when you absolutely must have a first down, an ustoppable force when the pile must be moved. Malone looks at fullback Brant Eppbright.

"Give Brant the ball, Lincoln."

"Okay, but what's the play, coach?"

Malone looked at his O-line. "Lincoln, give Brant the ball. Everybody else, give Brant somewhere to run."

On third and one, Brant Eppbright converted the most important 3rd down of his high school career. He gained just more than one yard, and Mar-Mac won the state championship in their first year back from obscurity, defeating the West Central Blue Devils, 17-13.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-HAAAWWWW!
