VGHS @ SWORDMASTERS: KING OF THE HILL

CYBERDWARVES @ PWNMACHIN3S: EXTRACTION

NAPALM BYE

Brian Doheny was NOT alright with the current situation.

The JV team had fallen short in the Semi-Finals the previous year, getting ousted by Napalm Energy Drink High, and the Barnstormer brothers.

Now, they were back into their own league, and competing with an expanded JV league. Napalm had been shoed into their league, making it a 9 team JV league, crowding it up and extending their schedule. Napalm had stolen two wins from VGHS earlier in the season. The Winter Quarter was starting soon, meaning everyone would have extra work on their shoulders.

Practice was frustrating enough. The departure of Mary Matrix as Head Coach and Jenny Matrix's sudden departure to Paris had left VGHS in a tight spot. Luckly, Ace had volenteered as Head Coach, and the team rallied behind Brian as Captain.

Brian focused back on the poster. The SwordMasters were down half of their first string due to flu, and the second string had neglected to practice. As a result, they got off to an 0-6 start and were eliminated from Playoff contention by week 10.

VGHS was storming back. They got off to a rocky 3-3 opening. They traded wins and losses to go 5-5. Now, two VERY strong games aganist PwnMachin3s and the CyberDwarves had put them in a comfortable position. Brian found that comforting. Very much so. With Napalm on the bubble, all VGHS had to do was win this upcoming game to put Napalm on the brink. After that, another win or a Napalm loss would put VGHS in playoffs.

Brian turned away and started walking.

VGHS had rebounded well from the Napalm takeover. The RTS team, out from under Shane Barnstormer's thumb, brought home a league championship in the Junior (Freshman-Sophomore) Division, while the Senior group managed to send three players to the Top 10.

The Fighting team captured its 4th Championship, and its first since the School's first five years, almost three decades ago. Ki had played a critical role as team captain, and the team looked poised to win a 5th.

VGHS started a Racing Team. Ted Wong, Brian's best friend, was able to get VGHS into the running, and the team finished 6th out of 12 teams.

On the topic of old friends, The Law had also returned. He drifted, but mainly served as Ace's (unwilling) TA. Now, Law was not usually a friend, but his aid (however small) had helped save VGHS, and that earned Brian's respect.

Jenny... Jenny was the one Brian had tried not to think about.

Her departure to the Paris Panthers had left Brian hurting. Very much so. But it was her dream. He wanted her to be happy. It was just stupid that her being happy required her to be so far away.

Maybe he should have just ended it there. Now he felt like they were trying something that could never work. She was too good for just a one-year contract. It would get extended, and she would become their star player. Just like she had with VGHS.

Sighing, Brian continued his walk to his room. He had time for a nap before practice.

Or at least, he thought he did.

"BRIAN D! MY ROOM, NOW!"

Brian's lips curved a little at the sides. Same old Colhoun

"Coming!"
