"We are going to play tonight like we have never done before," the captain encouraged them. "Even if we shouldn't win tonight we can be proud to stand here and play the best game we've ever played. Got it?"
Troy and his teammates nodded. He was eager to go out on the curt, to win this game. He knew that the chances were rather slim – they had lost three out of five games they had played against the team, but tonight his lucky charms were outside.
He could do it!

Troy didn't have to see them close to describe their features; after all they were his children. Then his gaze drifted to the woman beside his two years old son. Gabriella. His wife. His love. His soul mate. His world. His sun.
Seeing his family here gave him strength. Maybe they wouldn't win tonight, but he would make sure that his kids could be proud of him.
The whistle blew. It was time to start the game.
