Bombed it...

It was a warm Fall evening... Port Boyerton North was playing host to our lowly squad of losers that we call a football team. The first Quarter went about as planned... We let the opening kickoff go for a touchdown, and fell behind immediately. This was promptly followed by our QB throwing a pick in double coverage and then we watched the defender take the ball to the house. The Bombers kicked a field goal and went up 17- 0 going into the second quarter. This was shaping up like one of those classic PB North/Jackson Pines laughers that the old world conference had come accustomed to. But, the second quarter was one that I will never forget....

The first play, I remember it like it was yesterday... "Stud Right, 48 toss." The most simple, and most commonly run play in our playbook. A halfback toss to the right. For some reason, I remember this all vividly, as if my brain had taken a recording because it knew something was about to happen. The linemen rushed up to the ball, creating a giant wall of white jerseys and silver pants, as they crouched into their stances, I began to see the intimidating PB North Defense come into view. These Juggernauts were foaming at the mouth to come after this freshman who is primed to make the District 1 Allstar team. My focus snapped back to the QB, as he began his cadence and made a dummy call to our wide receiver to try to throw the defense off. Luckily for us, his acting was considerably better than his actual quarterbacking, but he is much too ugly to make a splash on the silver screen. Anyway, The snap was quick and precise, and I began my trek wide out to the right and received the end over end pitch from te quarterback, noticing the whites in his eyes for just a moment as he turned to relay the ball to me. I grabbed the ball, ran about a yard when one defender dove at me and missed. As I was finishing my juke, I had run into a Linebacker (Who would later make all State and sign with the Vaughnland University Team) who drove me backwards as the player who I juked grabbed my leg from behind. Everything was going in slow motion, I heard a loud 'crack', felt my helmet hit hard off of the turf at PB north Stadium, and then blackness.

I awoke in a hospital bed in Port Boyerton, The game was over, and my mom and Dad were both there, making sure I was ok. As it turned out, I had a broken Femur, (Hurt like you wouldnt belive) and would be out for the rest of the season. We lost that game by a score of 45- 0, and fell to 1-3 at the halfway point of my freshman season. The team ended up finishing at 2 - 6,with wins over Fort Scully and Quiggle Tech just as predicted, and I began an intense rehab process. I saved a few newspaper clippings for motivation for next season...I will be back.
