Chapter 40

Ethan ran back out with the offense. He was a deep man.

The punt spiraled high in the air. Ethan settled under it.

immediately  he caught it clean. And without thinking twice he took off.

He followed his blockers. He juked and spun. 

Some of the  Knights players tried to grab him. They started clawing on him.

But at that moment Ethan was like a man possessed. He would not be denied again. Not this time.

He broke a tackle. Then another.

And then he was in the clear. Nothing but green grass ahead.

The crowd that were seated before couldn't help but stand on their feet. Screaming. Roaring.

Ethan raced for the end zone. His legs were on fire.

His lungs were calm. As he pushed on.

He needs to make it. He had to score to correct his first mistake.

He leapt over the goal line. Touched the ball down.

"Touchdown, Tigers!"
