Will Savine's POV (will is the main character)
I couldn't believe it was my last season with my high school team, THE SALINE HORNETS. I've always wanted to go there because my father went there and my father was a smart man, who when I was 12-13 told me that he was friends the legendary player and coach of the Michigan Wolverines, Jim Harbaugh who was the QB back in the mid 80s. My dad was a student manager under the best Coach ever, Bo Shembechler. When I first heard this. I jumped out of my seat and asked my dad so many questions, and one thig my dad told me was when they were in a scrim-mage, the ref screwed up on the down and my dad took the blame because he was responsible with the sign. When bo saw this he yelled at my dad "Get your head out of your ass!'' When my dad told me this I laughed because he was told by Bo to get his head out of his ass.
Flash-Forward to 9th grade, I was so excited to start my first day of High School and I was also excited to play football for the Hornets. When I was in 5th grade and 6th grade, I suffered from a concussion from soccer and lacrosse (yeah lacrosse). Because of this I couldn't play football but because I was older, I could play since I was old enough to make my own desicions. When I became a Junior, I was offered drugs from someone who I thought was my friend but was just a pot-head like most of the low-lifes.
On my final regular season game, I was the best WR in the county, possibly the state. In the 4th quarter, the game was 31-27 and we were down by four points and there was only 12 seconds left and we were at our own 30 yard line, with only two timeouts. The first pass was to friend, who was also a good timeouts with 6 seconds left, we were at their 39 yard line. The plan was to go for a four verts and so I was told that this was my last chance and if I didn't catch this we would lose so we had to win this, it was our last chance to make the playoffs. despite having the best offense,we had a bad defence, so overall are record was 8-6 and if we lost, we we're out. Back to the present, 6 seconds was left with one timeout, so the QB hiked the ball and threw it in the air right into the right corner of the Endzone and I couldn't see if I had caught it but I didn't the ball in my hands so I thought "Oh no I dropped the ball, I can't believe I dropped it'' but when I openned my eyes my teammates were running towards me with excitment and when I looked down, I saw the ball between my feet and looked at the ref and knew what I was asking and threw his arms up signaling a touchdown and when I saw the scoreboard and had zero seconds left and just jumped up towards my teammates and we celebrated the victory by playing the hornet fight song

We managed to win every playoff game till the championship were we will play are rivals the Ann Arbor Pioneers which had the best defence but horrible offense which I thought "wow I wonder how this game is going to turn out" but they were favored to win by 21 to 3. I thought "wow thats not cool just because they are undefeated, Thats not cool just because they have 14-1 record" but just got rid of that thought. Kick-off time, I was in the back recieving with my friend Isaac. I got the ball but returned it to the 30 yard line. Two plays later Isaac caught the ball wide-open in the endzone. Two quarters later the score was coming half-true because the Damn score was 21-3 Saline. Sadly in the 4th quarter they took the lead 24-21. Great the exact damn thing was happening when we almost lost to tecumseh, 34-31. One minute left in the quarter and we were at the 35-yard AGAIN! I thought "DAMN, can't believe this is gonna happen again and with no GODDAMN TIMOUTS!" Stop your swearing before it gets to the point before you yell it. Two plays later,Isaac ran outside to stop time and with 6 seconds left again "SHI-" I was close to yelling that out when the running back also my friend named Daniel stopped me from swearing. "dude, be careful around the ref." and saw that a ref was looking at me. With six seconds left. "okay, Will thats enough" you did this before, maybe you can do this again" We did the same play again, the four vertz and I was told again to try make the catch again. So the QB threw to the exact same spot and instead of the foot catch I caught it just like NFL superstar Calvin "Megatron" Johnson. That was the final play I ever made for the Saline Hornets.
Tomorrow, the last college scholarship was coming today at three, and the ones I got were MSU,OSU (ugh) Florida University,Alabama University, Norte Dame University, Auburn University, and Wisconson University. I really hoped for Michigan or Georgia, but if I don't get one of those scholarships, i'll just join Auburn, so I really hope I don't have to join AU.
"I really hope I get a scholarship to michigan" I said out loud hoping no one heard me. Isaac and daniel both got scholarships to the UoM so I was kinda mad, but 8th times the charm. I looked up at the clock but relised that it was broken for two days now, but luckily I had a watch so when I checked it read "3:00" Holy Hell, hes here. I went to open the doorto let him in he saw that my shirt was untucked. I let him in, he said his name was Joe Ryan.
He told me something that made just yell so loud you could have heard me in russia. I just got a scholarship into Michigan. I yelled "YES, YES,YES I GOT A ACADEMIC AND SPORTS SCHOLARSHIP" my dream had come true I can't believe I was going just like my father.
