Page 71 - Life's Outtakes 9

Since no one liked to be pulled

out, we all tried hard not to make

mistakes. In addition, I had just met a

new girl I liked, and I hoped to

impress her. She couldn’t make it to

our first game, so she and her mother

promised they would listen to the

play-by-play broadcast on the radio.

In the third quarter of that hard-

fought game, we had a very slim lead

with the ball deep in our own

territory. Our coach chose to go with

a pass play. Our line held well,

giving our backs plenty of time. Our

quarterback made a great pass, and

our receiver made a perfect catch and

ran all the way for a touchdown.
