A few hours later, as all of the girls are in the locker room, all you hear is silence. The girls have nothing to say to each other. They all need to focus and stay calm. They feel as if talking to one another is gonna make them nervous. Gotti the most nervous out of all of them; with all of the recent activity that's been happening with her, her nerves and mind are all over the place. She is still debating if she should play horrible so that her mom and Danny are left alone or if she should beat the other team just to put it in the chief's face and his daughter's face.
The coach knocks on the locker room door and tells the girls that they have five more minutes to get ready till they have to go out to the field and warm up before going to the actual field. They all stand around for a few seconds looking from the door to the sticks that they have in their hands. Knowing that game time is getting closer and closer is making the nerves in their bodies get higher and higher.
They are finally all done getting ready and they all head down to the field together. They start warming up and it's still silent. None of them want to get distracted and fool around. They all have worked WAY too hard to mess up their chances at a state title. They wanna prove to their school that their team is just as good as any boy's team in the school. But most importantly, they wanna prove it to themselves that they are the best that any of them could ever be.
By the time that warm ups is over, they all head over to the bus which is gonna be taking them to the field in which the finals will be played. On the bus they are all silent again. The only voice that could be heard on the bus is the coach going over all of the players on the other team. As the coach is reading over the other team's players along with all of their weaknesses and strengths, Gotti is yet again thinking to herself if what she is going to do is the right thing to do. Is losing in front of all of her friends and family and school really worth what her mom and Danny are gonna be going through if she wins? And if she does lose so that Lindsay and Danny's life is better at work really gonna help her out for the next three years of high school that she has to go through. She needs to do what's best for everyone.
She's just not sure what that is yet.

St. Gregory the Great High School Varsity Field Hockey team is now sitting in the locker room in the arena of which the finals are being played at. The girls are all sitting on the floor in a circle holding hands. Still there is no talking. They are all going over everything that they have learned that season and replaying each play in their heads over and over again. The coach walks into the locker room and when all of the girls hear that noise, they look up.
"You girls should be proud of yourselves. Not many girls get this opportunity in their life. You are making something of yourselves and your families here tonight. You should be honored with this achievement. Because whether or not you win, this is still an achievement. Not since 1987 has another St. Gregory's field hockey team made it to the state finals and you all know what happened there. The feeling of greatness got to their heads and they all thought that they game would be just like any other and they ended up losing. Sure they played well, but they got to cocky. None of you girls are like that. You girls play because your love for the game. Because this sport makes you enjoy life. You girls go out there and play the game that you love. Go out there with your heads held high and don't let anything stand in your way. Win or lose, be proud to call yourself Gators." After the coach said that, they all stood up and put their hands in a circle.
"WHO ARE WE?" Gotti said.
"GATORS!" they all said afterwards.
"WHO ARE WE?"
"GATORS!"
"WHO ARE WE?"
"GATORS!"
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GATORS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" they all said together.
They walked out in pairs. The coach in front followed by Amanda Hammerback and Gotti Monroe and then everyone else.

They start getting closer to the field and all they can hear is the word 'gator' being chanted over and over again. The nerves inside of these high school athletes get higher and higher with each step that they take. Once they step out onto the grass, everyone in the stands are on their feet cheering. It's a level of excitement that none of these have ever felt before. They kept on walking till they got to their benches; they didn't sit because showing the fans that they are sitting before this kind of game is telling the fans that they aren't worried about the game and that it's no big deal. Standing shows them that they are serious about this game.
The officials call for the team captains to meet in center field along with their coaches. Jessica, Brianna and Gotti, along with the coach walked out to center field which is where they were greeted with the three captains and coach of Corpus Christi.
