It was the final game of the high school season and Kennedy Catholic was in the state championship led by Michael Kress. Kress was the one of the best players in the state of Pennsylvania and one hell of a quarterback. The game would start like any other game but the only difference was Michael had a broken index finger on his right hand. He said he was fine and he started the game. A lot of colleges were there to watch him play to see if he was worth giving their scholarship to. The game started and Kress connected with his favorite wide out Givens for a 45 yard Touchdown Pass. Then after the defense held West Chester to a field goal, Kress connected with Morris for a 23 yard Touchdown pass and now the score was 14 – 3. It was a good start for Kress and he was impressing the Scouts. Then at the end of the first half Kress connected with Givens again for a 22 yard Touchdown Pass and it was 21 – 3 at the half.
Kress felt good about having a lead and hope the defense wouldn't blow it. He wanted the scholarship and he knew if he kept playing good he would get one. The second half started but the defense for West Chester tightened. Kress didn't do as well in the second half as he did in the first half. Kress was getting frustrated but his coach told him if you're the great player that you are you will win the game when its on the line. West Chester scored 3 touchdowns in the second half and with 50 seconds left they took a 24 to 21 lead. Kress got his team to mid field with no timeouts he only had one more throw left. 10, 9, 8, 7, 6 the crowd shouted then Kress took the snap and threw one up in the end zone and over 3 defenders Givens caught the ball for the game winning touchdown. Kress was thrilled and ran down the field and tackled Givens for making one hell of a catch.
After the game Kress was awarded MVP even though he thought he didn't deserve it. Then Kress got a Scholarship offer from Florida State and accepted it. Kress knew he was going to be a star because he succeeded at football and his goal was to make it to the NFL. His girlfriend Ashley a cheerleader on the team walked over to him and congratulated him by kissing him. He was really happy because he had everything he ever wanted. Now he was ready for what challenges met him at college. A long road ahead for Michael Kress was just starting.
