D1 Bound
It was December 5, 2003 and Belleview High School had just won their final game and are now heading to the CIF Championships at Sports Authority Field in Denver, Colorado. They are going to play against another D1 football team from Kingston High School who is known for the best defense in the league. Two best friends, Shane and Troy, who've played football together since they were 8 years, have always competed and supported each other. Shane is your typical star quarterback who everyone loves and is getting scouted by USC and Alabama. Troy who is bit shy, is just as good of a player as Shane but tends to let Shane shine because he doesn't like the attention as much as Shane. The game is in two weeks and Coach Wilson didn't waste any time calling mandatory practices six days a week until game day. He wanted to have that CIF trophy in his trophy case so badly and the team was feeling the pressure. They definitely didn't want to let him down. The team worked really hard during that two weeks and felt that they were mentally and physically ready for the game. Coach Wilson gave a speech of how proud he was of his team and that no matter what happens on game day, they deserve this and to just have fun. The team met at Belleview High School at 5:00 a.m. game day. They had a three hour drive ahead of them to get to Denver, Colorado. The bus ride was quiet due to everyone being asleep since it was so early in the morning. Coach woke them up once they arrived at the stadium as they made their way to the stadium to the locker rooms. Troy and Shane were so excited to be at the stadium where the Broncos play. The game is in two hours and they started getting ready right away. The team then headed out to the field to run some drills and moments later Kingston High School arrived and started their drills too. The stadium was getting fuller by the minute. Kingston High School won the toss as they elected to kick off. Everyone got in their positions and the whistle blew, the game began as Kingston's kicker kicked the ball for a touchback. Shane, playing quarterback, right away got off to a great start by passing for a touchdown to the receiver for a twenty-two yard touchdown reception. As Kingston got the ball back, things got rough when Belleviews linebacker cheap shot Kingston's star receiver. That started a bit of a riot until the referee broke it up. At the end of the first quarter Bellview was up 7-0. As the second quarter …show more content…
Kingston has the ball but is right away shut down by Belleview's defense, forcing them to punt the ball. Troy comes back on the field thinking that all they need to do is waste time and score at the last minute to win the game. As Troy keeps handing the ball off to his running back, he surprisingly fumbled the ball, giving Kingston back the ball with five minutes left of the game. Belleviews defense once again shut down Kingston's offense but since they recovered the fumble in Belleviews territory, they were able to kick a twenty seven yard field …show more content…
Troy knowing he doesn't have time to waste, puts his offense in a no huddle situation. Right away Troy takes a big hit from the same defensive end that hit Shane putting him to the ground. He is in pain but he knows he cannot let his team down as he struggled to get up. With the score of 17-14 Kingston High School leads with seven seconds left in the game. Troy in a panic, yells,"Deep verticals, ready break!" As he hiked the ball his receivers ran the fastest they could while Troy dodged away from the defensive end once again. Troy then threw the ball as deep as he could with seconds to spare only to find an open receiver down the field sixty yards away. It was a long shot but it made it and the receiver caught the ball for a touchdown. Troy knew they could do it, they were now the CIF
