Our first football game started the following week. We were playing against one of our rivals from Blake High School. It started okay, but during the half-time quarterback had gotten injured, so they had to bring up the backup quarterback who had taken us back quite a bit.
We were down by 7 points, and our backup quarterback wasn't doing too well, so the coach called me to step it up in the quarterback position. I didn't want to, but I didn't want to see us lose either. I started the play as my blockers were holding the line for me. I saw one of the runner's backs open, so I tossed the ball to him, and he ran the ball, but he didn't get too far before he was tackled.I started up a play again this time I called for a hail Mary because I wanted to quickly score and get this game over with, due to this play I knew that I would need more time for them to get open and my blockers wouldn't be able to hold off the line for long.As soon as the play started, the players jetted off to the goal line, two of them were tightly defended, but the other two had gotten free from the men. They were approaching the goal line; just when I was about to throw the ball, one of Blake's team's defenders had gotten through my line and was about to tackle me. I quickly used the time to freeze and dodged his tackle. In a running motion, I quickly unleashed a powerful throw towards the end of the goal line for the open man on my right. He caught the ball, but the guy that was defending him quickly tackled him making him drop the ball. I was so mad, but there's nothing I can do about it.It was the perfect pass; it's just that the guy couldn't hold onto the ball. I didn't honestly want to wear out the guys anymore because they looked tired after doing that hail Mary, having them run down the field can be extremely exhausting, so I decided to change up the play but didn't have many options left so I decided to go for a short play that way we can just get the first down.I called for a shorter play, which they were happy about and appreciated that I wasn't making them run down to the goal line again. The play started in the guy to my very left round rushed forward, then cut back, and I passed it to him quickly he caught the ball and juked out the person defending him causing the guy to fall, and he was free to go all the way down to score the touchdown.I couldn't believe I was able to make that play become a touchdown instead of the Hail Mary, so I learned a new concept after that. I was used to doing hail Marys but never other plays. We decided not to do the field goal and go for the two points. That way, we can take the lead by one point.I started the play once again. I was just about to throw the ball, but I saw that nobody was open so I quickly ran inside the goal line just when one guy was about to tackle me I slid down under him with time freeze activated. I was barely able to make it as my helmet had accidentally hit his crotch area while I slid under him.Time unfroze back as the guy was lying on the ground in pain, but I had made the touchdown giving us the one-point lead. The coach was happy about this and ran up to me to hug me. I wasn't having any of that, so I pushed him away. We ended up on the defensive side, and a Blake team was tight because we had them on lockdown.Our morale was at an all-time high, and we weren't having it, so we ended up with an interception. Whenever I saw a hole in their defense I ran the ball, at one point I was clearing the land nobody was near me, so I just took it down and scored a touchdown. I was the fastest person on the field, so I was able to do that.Nobody could catch me as the game went on; I was dominating hard. I even stepped up on the defense side and got me an interception due to the time freeze. I scored right after I intercepted the ball. I didn't want anybody to touch me when I ran down there, those guys were huge, and if I got tackled by one of them, I'd snap you like a twig.The game went on, and eventually, we won it by over 20 points. The coach was happy, the team was happy, everybody was happy. We went to celebrate after the game because it was a huge victory for us, it was the first game, and we won by 20 + points even though the quarterback was out of commission we still ended up celebrating. Isabella was knocked out when I got home, so I kissed her goodnight and went to bed, the next day was a weekend, so we decided just to hang out. I took Isabella and Ivy out to go shopping for some more accessories for the house and school. Everywhere we went, people were shaking my hand and asking for autographs.After a while, Isabella started to get annoyed and told the security that was watching over us not to let anybody near us anymore. I was surprised that they had gotten that close. The next day we went to church to praise the Lord after we came home and had a movie time, it was quite a relaxing weekend.School started back up the following day; the week went by as we had another game on Friday I ended up helping them out again because we started falling short due to the backup quarterback wasn't up to par on his job. The coach had to depend on me again, which I didn't mind. We easily won that game, thanks to me.
