Chapter 34– Roosevelt Second Quarter

When the second quarter started the Roosevelt Revolver's kicker booted his kick toward Jason deliberately trying to avoid Riley who was lined up on the other side of the field. Jason caught the ball and exploded down the field. Rico was again the first one down the field but Jason with a simple juke and a stiff arm blew passed him. While everyone else was still a little tentative on the icy and snowy ground, Jason went full out as if he was on a nice dry and soft field.

He hit the wall as Riley caught up and Caesar battling Zana pushed her to the side allowing the two to break through. As they got through Zana managed to get free of Caesar and the centre refrained from grabbing hold of her and getting a penalty. She got Jason around the waist and tried to hull him down, but Jason's momentum carried him a couple extra yards. As he was going down, Jason twisted his body and tossed the ball back to Riley who was running behind him.

Not expecting the ball, but moving by reflex Riley caught the ball and continued down the field. He easily dodged the kicker and ran the ball in for a touchdown. In the end zone he waited a couple second for Jason, Cindy, and Hiro to make it to the end zone as Riley had planned during their last practice. He sat down on the ground, his legs wrapped around the goal line pylon and they all sat behind him and they rocked back and forth like they were on a bobsleigh going down a course.

"Was that necessary?" Huey asked his team a little annoyed. He was trying to stamp out the showboating but with Johnson Huitcinq staring down Riley from the far side of the field he knew things were just going to get worse.

Jazmine kicked in the PAT for a 10-7 lead and kicked the ball down the field where Ashley was the one to receive it this time. Ashley did not get far up the field before Cindy running as a gunner brought her down at the Revolver twenty four yard line.

Stacy now calm again started her next drive for the end zone with a short pass to Ashley who got it for a gain of six yards. She rushed the play gaining the first down after sliding before Huey could hit her.

On her next play she dropped back out of the pocket looking for Johnson but he was covered by Riley. She made a quick look across the field and all her receivers were under as much cover except for Ashley who was being stalked by Jason. Ashley was a couple yards ahead of him and normally she would have thrown it but not this time. She had seen Jason run against Johnson and against Riley and she knew he was baiting her. If she throw the ball to Ashley it would be intercepted, she had no doubt about that. Without an option Stacy decided to take her chances with Johnson hoping the couple of inches of height he had on Riley would be enough for him to get the ball. Unfortunately his height did not matter as Johnson went to the ball and Riley hit him knocking him away from the ball.

Behind the line of scrimmage Stacy began to fume. The Black Panther defence was not supposed to be this good. With this in mind she set up her next play and had her entire receiving core in motion to try and confuse the defence, but it did not work. In the back end as a safety Jason was watching the entire play and feeding his team the information and when the snap finally came everyone was in position and Stacy was left with no one to pass to and Caesar and Hiro had broken through her line. Before Caesar could hit her again she threw the ball away though so she would not lose any yards.

On her third down she barely got the ball when Huey broke into the back and she was forced for the second play to throw the ball away but she did not get it over the line of scrimmage. The yellow flags went up immediately and she was given a penalty making a first down near impossible.

"I can't believe this," Stacy cried getting angry again as she left the field. "They weren't supposed to have a good defence. I should be able to at least get some passes off."

"What you didn't think they would look at our tapes too. You spent all week in the video room watching their games they probably did the same," Ashley said passing Rico and Zana who only smiled at them. They were doing their job but Stacy was not. "We'll just have to get more creative. Move me to running back and put Chad out on the field."

"I didn't want to do that until the finals," Stacy said as their kicker punted the ball back to Riley who returned it fifteen yards.

"If we don't we won't make it to the finals," Ashley persisted.

"Not yet. If we get too far behind we will."

Back on the field Huey fell right back into his short pass game as Rico and Zana continued to cover Jason and Johnny or Riley depending on the play. While Hiro did drop the ball a few times they were consistent and by the end of their third downs a quick pass to Johnny would get them a new set of downs. Even with Zana on him Johnny still made his catches when Huey needed him to.

Once again Huey found himself staring down the end zone from with the last ten yards and on his third down. He did not want to have to settle for another field goal with the game this tight and the quarter half over. Zana and Rico had managed as they got closer to the end zone to seal up most of his long plays and his running game had been useless. Both he and Riley were only averaging just less than three yards a carry on their current drive and they needed at six yards to get a new set of downs on the one yard line.

Caesar snapped the ball back and Huey took it looking for Jason in the end zone and once he saw he was covered near the sideline he switched his target to Johnny on the far side of the field. By separating his best receiver's on either side of the field and having Riley lined up as if they were doing a simple HB dive he overstretched Rico and Zana's defence. It seemed both Zana and Rico knew their defence was outstretched and instead of trying to cover both Jason and Johnny they chose to cover the first choice they knew Huey would turn to and left Johnny open. Instead Zana came after Huey using the extra time it would take for Huey to switch to Johnny. It was only a split second but it was enough and Zana hit him driving him to the ground for the sack.

Huey growled getting just as frustrated as Stacy was as he could not get his team passed those last ten yards into the end zone. Once again he was forced to decide between trying to get the eleven yards for the first down or let Jazmine kick the chip shot. It was not much of a decision though and as soon as he was back on his feet he signalled for Jazmine to come on the field and Johnny got off the field.

He received the long hike from Caesar and set the ball up as Jazmine came in and knocked the chip shot through the uprights for a 13-7 lead.

"You think we should be changing over now. They're almost a touchdown ahead of us and we can't even get close to their end zone," Ashley said as the Revolver's offence squad returned to the field after Johnson had returned the ball or twenty yards before Riley brought him down.

"We're going to have to. We can't go into half-time losing by more than a touchdown against this team. There second half has so far been their most dangerous half," Stacy said grabbing Chad as they walked jogged to the line of scrimmage to set up for the. "You'll be switching out with Ashley for this drive."

"You're that desperate already," Chad said strapping on his helmet over his dirty blonde military cut hair.

"We need to stop their defensive momentum before the end of the half," Stacy explained as they lined up for her first play of the new drive.

Stacy received the ball from her centre and dropped back handing the ball to Ashley who cut for the sidelines. The switch seemed to work as Cindy who was supposed to be covering Ashley as the second receiver and Jason who was lined up as a defensive end to stop the run got mixed up for a second allowing Ashley to escape passed the line of scrimmage. She got the first down but did not get much further as Jason righted himself and took off after her.

On her next play Stacy threw a pass to Chad near the first down marker on the sideline. The tall receiver had no problem reaching up over Cindy to catch the high thrown pass and managed to skirt the sideline for an additional five yards before Cindy pushed him out of bounds.

Adjusting to the new formations Cindy and Jason switched places on the next play and when Stacy tried to throw to Chad, the equally tall Jason was there to hit him as he caught the ball. Chad did have the skill though to accept the hard hit from Jason and hold onto the ball.

Huey watched as Stacy continually moved the ball down the field. No matter how he changed the formation of his team the sudden triple threat of Johnson, Ashley, and Chad were proving too much for his defence to handle. They had not practiced for this. All the tapes and information he had gathered on the Revolver's had nothing about this in them.

Before he knew it they had their backs against their end zone goal line and it was second and goal. Stunned by the sudden turn in momentum Huey quickly called for a timeout to try and gather his thoughts and get his team back on track.

"We look like we're lost out there," Huey said to his team back at the bench. "We need to refocus and get back to our game plan."

"What game plan? There was nothing in the plan about this," Jason said squirting half frozen sport drink in his mouth.

"Yeah we can't stop dese niggas," Riley added.

"We can and we will," Huey corrected them. "We just need to tweak our formation a little. "Riley you need to stay on Johnson. Caesar and Hiro you guys keep doing what you're doing. Cindy can you take their new receiver?"

"He's not as fast as Jason or as tall. I think I can take him," Cindy said confidently.

"I'm not even going to ask if you can take their new running back," Huey said looking as Jason who just looked back with his cocky smirk. "Johnny you need to keep on their third receiver and I'll move where ever I'm needed. You can do this. Don't let them break the plane of our end zone again. We have two minutes and forty three seconds left before half time. We can't let them take the lead."

"We won't," Caesar said as the official blew his whistle to end the time out.

"Don't give them a single yard," Huey added quickly as walked back on the field.

Stacy got the ball from her centre and dropped back handing it off to Ashley as she moved backward. Ashley stutter stepped near the center of the line before cutting toward the sideline again. This time Jason was not going to be fooled he tracked her through the madness of the battle along the line. Something was different about his stance and just the general demeanour around him and everyone on the field noticed it. Like an apex predator he never let her out of his sight and when she made a move for the line he struck like a Great White, his arms snapping around her torso like jaws and ripping her off her feet. Hunting the running back had brought out a side of Jason that covering a receiver could not. Rather than trying to be a stop gap on a passing play and limiting the receiver's abilities to catch the ball he was tracking and hunting the player with the ball doing his best to separate the player from that ball.

Ashley stayed down for a few moments trying to catch the wits that Jason rattled. She gasped for breath as Chad came over to help her to her feet.

"You got destroyed," Chad laughed at her.

"He's like a truck. He's doesn't look like it but that speed..." Ashley said bend over her hands on her knees.

"Well you better find a way to get around him because it looks like Stacy's signalling another running play," Chad laughed leaving her to line up on the long side.

Stacy snapped the ball again and handed it off to Ashley who hesitated behind the line seeing Jason on other side of the line of scrimmage a feral grin below the amber visor that hid his eyes. That hesitation cost her as Jason did not hesitate and would not be stopped by the line. With the help of Caesar he blew through the centre and ran Ashley over again. Thrashing around he grabbed his head and ran his hands down his face while moving his head sharply almost convulsing like a viper. He looked over at the crowd before dropping to the ground and slamming his forearms against the ground a couple of times while looking at Ashley before slamming his fists on the ground still convulsing in sharp movements.

"What the hell's gotten into him?" Caesar asked Cindy watching Jason freak out.

"I don't know, maybe he's gone crazy," Cindy replied.

"How cares as long as he keeps doing it," Huey said as Jason pooped back up to his feet and returned to the team.

"What da hell nigga?" Riley said looking at Jason weirdly.

"What?"

"What was dat?"

"What was what?" Jason asked his feral grin still spread across his face.

"All of dat just now. Dey slamming and da snake movements."

"Intimidation," Jason explained. "If she thinks I'm crazy she's going to hesitate every time she gets the ball and she won't get many yards."

"Well it's working," Huey said.

With two consecutive plays with lost yards Stacy was forced to call on her own kicker and get the chip shot to cut the Black Panther lead in half at 13-10.

Riley caught the kickoff and returned the ball twenty three yards before Rico brought him done. Huey tried to activate his running game again on the next play but Zana was there again to stop Riley before he even made it two yards beyond the line of scrimmage. Without his running game and long passing game Huey knew there was not enough time left on the clock to get another touchdown so he played his short pass game while running down the clock.

On a second and four with thirty seconds on the clock and at the Revolver thirty eight yard line Huey looked for the short pass to Cindy again but Rica and Zana were finally after nearly two quarters of constant short passes starting to take Huey's bait. Rico left Jason to the other corner on the short side and decided to cover Cindy instead. With Rico practically hanging off her Cindy fumbled her catch, the ball bouncing off her hands then her chest before falling on the ground as she ran over it and Rico dragged her to the ground.

Huey tried for another short pass to Hiro this time and only to find Zana covering him and Rico covering Cindy and with both Jason and Johnny covered down field he had no one to pass to and the chances of him rushing the last nearly forty yards was very slim. With only ten seconds left on the clock he ran for the sidelines to stop the clock.

With one last play Huey signalled Jazmine to come out to try for a long field goal. Jazmine took a deep breath as she stepped on the field. She had never made anything nearly this long yet, not even in practice, but if she wanted gain Huey's trust in this game she needed to make it now. She needed to show her whole team that they just needed to get the ball this far to get points that they did not need to get it to get it nearly to the end zone in order to score.

Huey caught Caesar's snap as the clock ran out and spun the ball in the air so when he put it down the laces faced the uprights. He brought the ball down just in time for Jazmine to get the kick off. She put everything she had into the kick and the ball went end over end up in a smooth arc curving as it came to the uprights as the wind caught it, but it still squeezed in beside the right upright re-establishing the Black Panther six point lead at 16-10 as the official blew his whistle to end the first half.

With a 6 point lead can Huey's team hold on for the win? What's going on with Jason and can Riley get his running game started now that Zana is focused on Hiro?
