The Hitting Zone

As his guys set up the camera and sound equipment, Mr. and Mrs. Atkins came back after sending everyone off. Even the stragglers were sent away with the explanation that Zeke is firm in his decision and that Stanford is his pick.

George Pickens still showed up even though Zeke wasn't looking at those contracts anymore. Mr. Atkins went to the living room with him and they turned on the draft so they could watch. The twins followed them, while Noah and I stayed with his mom to watch Zeke's interview with Mr. Cameron.

Once everything was set, Mr. Cameron sat at angle from Zeke and the camera began to roll. He grinned at the camera and did his introduction before facing Zeke. "First off, Zeke, I would like to congratulate you on such an exciting season of high school baseball. You finished your high school career with a championship under your belt. How does that make you feel?"
