And when the bonds become severed, the family pays the price for it, big time.

1. Prologue- It Begins

The Year: 1988.

The Place: Hartmanbrook, Texas.

The School: Mitchell Elementary School

When the Great Depression took America by storm, things were not great. Millions lost jobs, hundreds died of starvation or suicide. But once WWII started, many got jobs and were able to pay their debts, and Hartmanbrook started to take a turn for the best. In the 50's, the baby boom happened, and Hartmanbrook couldn't be more populated than ever.

But before the depression, during the 20's, a group of elementary school students started an after school program called, "The Backyard Football League". At first, the School staff thought it would be a failure. But to everyone's surprise, it became a success in the school district within 1 week, garnering millions of school students to play in the football games. Each season consists of 10 games, and had 1 championship game, where 2 of the best teams in the school district would go up against each other at a high school stadium for the championship, however, some students seemed this was unfair, so after a summer of vacation in 1941 and thought, the district decided to have playoffs, which would consisted of 4 games, a 1st round, 2nd round, quarterfinal, and semifinal. The winners of the 2 semifinal games will go head to head in the championship game. And the BFL increased in popularity and by numbers in the 1950's as well. The BFL ended up being broadcasted on Texas TV sometimes, due to the popularity of the BFL season and championship glory.

However, for Mitchell Elementary, the expectations of being a championship team have never been higher. From 1938 in their inaugural season the Mitchell Tigers have expectations to do great, making it to the championship game in 1965, 1972, 1980 and 1983. They've had several playoff seasons in their football history, 15 to be exact. But this year, it's going to be a doozy of a year for the Mitchell Tigers.
