Chapter 5: Stepping Out
Thanks for the support, the feedback, and constructive criticism is always appreciated. "You have to decide the kind of man you want to be." (Pa
Kent v.)
Luke stepped out onto the basketball court. Jake looked over at Nate, and Tim who were smirking. Coach "Whitey" Durham gave them a glare Batman would have
been impressed by. The smirks subsided, as Coach Durham stepped over to Lucas.
"You sure you want to try out, son?"
Luke looked right at Nate and nodded.
"You know him?" Coach Durham gestured to Nate with a slight move of his head.
Lucas nodded.
"He's my brother."
"I know son. I know your father and your uncle."
Nate unexpectedly walked up to Lucas and Coach Durham. He looked at Luke, grinned cockily. Lucas looked down, as if he didn't want to challenge Nate. However,
Nate was threatened by Lucas' presence.
Coach Durham gritted his teeth.
"The only way you're getting on this team is by beating me." Nate challenged, crossing his arms.
