Intro
After a devastating interception/pick six that caused their team to lose the lead and control of the game, Ian and his teammates had to walk onto the field. There were slightly more than three minutes left in the fourth quarter, and the team was behind by four points.
They couldn’t kick a walk-off field goal. To win, they genuinely had to find their way to the other side of the field and get the ball into the end zone.
It wouldn’t have been so important to Ian if this game wasn’t being watched by scouts for college football teams. If he lost, it would leave a bad impression on them. They would realize he couldn’t step in during difficult times. If he couldn’t gain back control, they would lose, and the scouts would lose their current interest in him.
Another thing on the line? This game would determine who would go to the state championship. If they lost, Ian wouldn’t reach his dream of getting to the championship and winning.
As he stepped into the field, getting into the position to receive the snap from the center, he prayed that Guest wouldn’t crumble under the pressure. Guest was his amazing teammate. His impressive wide receiver with a highlight tape filled with beautiful catches that many dream of making.
Guest couldn’t just fail him now. Everyone’s eyes were on him to come out of nowhere and win. But, could Ian trust Guest?
Example 1
It was now 3rd and goal. The team couldn’t go easy and settle for a field goal. They were behind by four points, and the defense pushed them back to the 20 yard line after he had gotten sacked. A field goal couldn’t tie the game or put them ahead. The three points from one was leave them one short.
The team set up at the line of scrimmage, and they snapped the ball, the center passing the ball between his legs effortlessly into Ian’s hands. That signaled the beginning of this play.
Even if this didn’t go well, they still had 4th down. If Ian couldn’t get the ball into Guest’s hands to turn this play into a score, the other team could take the knee, leaving them with a loss, and their playoff run ending.
With gritted teeth, Ian searched the field. He found Guest in the end zone, and everything came naturally. Those arms, perfect for throwing, launched the ball like a cannon. When he released, it was like the world went into slow-motion. The football sailed through the air, and even as Ian was tackled down, he trusted Guest to make the catch.
Beautiful, Guest whispered under his breath, running past a defender, and jumping up high. With a height advantage, one arm shot up and over the defender’s reach. He caught the ball with one hand, before bringing it securely to his body.
When he came down, the he landed barely in the end zone, right on the edge. When he crashed to the ground, defender on top of him, he was terrified his heel was out of bounds. He could hear the rival team’s supporters in the crowd screaming, yelling about it not being a catch.
Then, there was even louder commotion. People began to yell, it’s a catch! It’s in bounds!
It was thrilling. They were now up by two points after a risky play, and they could kick the extra point and basically walk off with the win.
Ian shot up from his spot on the field, running into the end zone. He picks up Guest, shouting in excitement and hugging him.
We did it, Guest! W-we’re going to the championship! He was so thrilled he was bouncing with energy.
