Chapitre 5: Tryouts
Thx for 100 stones.
After lunch I went to the rest of my classes, I am now walking into the locker room to change my clothes for tryouts, luckily today is no contact because I still need to go buy my gear.
I find a locker and place my things in it, I hear someone open the locker next to me.
"Hey man, what position you play?" a big dude asks, he's about 6'3, with a beard linemen type body.
(image, this guy but picture him younger.)
"Quarterback mainly, but I can play anywhere. How bout you?" I ask.
"Normally left guard, which is your dominant hand?" he says gesturing to my hands.
" I am right handed." I say while lifting my right hand.
"Good, I'll have your back, all you need to do is set up those dimes, I am a 5 star linemen with multiple D1 offers not bragging just letting you know that you can trust me, I am hoping that your a good QB, we haven't had a good draw in a while, the last 4 season we have went negative, so all I ask is you give it your all." he says with a determined look.
"I'll do my best. What's your name?" I ask.
"The one and only Matthew Brown." he says with a smile.
"How bout you?" Matt asks.
"Logan Barret," I say with a smile.
"Alright Logan lets go kick some A**." Matt says while walking out the locker room onto the field.
I take off my shirt and jeans and throw on a pair of black shorts.
[Image of his body for those who were curious.]
I walk out towards the field. As I was about to reach the field I realized I still have my earnings in, I quickly take them out and was about to run back inside but I see Haley getting into her moms van.
"This will be funny." I say to myself.
I run to the van and then knock on the driver's side window. Inside I see Haley has a shocked expression but that quickly changes to embarrassment.
The window slowly rolls down. Once it is down her mom says something.
"Can I help you?" her mom says.
"Well, yeah kinda I was hoping that Haley could hold onto these for me I kinda forgot to take them off and if I run inside I'll be late." I say with warm smile.
'OMG HE DOESN'T HAVE A SHIRT ON.' Haley thinks to herself.
Haley's mom looks at Haley and asks.
"Do you know him?"
Haley sighs.
"Yes, he is a friend of mine." Haley says while leaning over her mom to grab my earrings.
"I'll give them back tomorrow." Haley says.
"Ok thank you, goodbye Mrs.Dunphy and little Dunphys." Not knowing the two kids names in the back of the car.
"Please call me Claire." Claire says with a smile.
"Ok goodbye then Claire."
I look at Haley.
"Bye Haley." I then turn around and jog to the field.
Haley POV.
Mom hits my arm.
"Well he was cute." Claire says.
I look out the window and start to smile until.
"Haley's got a boyfriend Haley's got a boyfriend Haley's got a boyfriend." Luke and Alex sing from the back seat.
"Mommm stop them." I plead.
"Well do you?" Claire asks raising her eyebrow.
"N-No it's not like that he is just a friend." I say back answering her question, i feel my cheeks start to heat up.
"Friends with benefits." Alex says from the backseat.
"Mommm"
Logan POV.
"Where ya been tryouts are about to start?" Matt asks.
"forgot about my earrings, had to take them off." I say while starting to stretch.
A couple of minutes later.
*WHISTLE*
"Offense with me, defense with him." the coach says.
"Coach I play both where do you want me," I say making him look my way.
When he saw me he looked me up and down.
"With me for now. what positions do you play?" Coach asks.
"Mainly QB on offense, on defense mostly Safety, but I can play anywhere," I say.
"Alright you, me and Josh will run some passing plays to see if you can throw."
We start walking to a couple of balls that are on the ground.
"Ok first, Josh I want you to run a 10 yard slant." Coach says.
"Ready?" he asks me.
"What's your name?" I ask tired of just saying, Coach.
"Coach Gilbert, how about you?" Coach Gilbert asks.
"Logan barret, Sir." I say getting into position.
"Alright Logan lets see what u can do. On you." Coach Gilbert says.
I take a deep breath and rub my hands together.
"Ready GO."
Coach tosses the ball to me as soon as I catch it I take a couple of steps back and plant my foot and throw a dime right to my receiver mid-stride.
"Nice pass, good placement, Again." Coach Gilbert says.
"This time I want you to run a stop and go." Gilbert says looking at Josh.
I get into position.
"Ready, GO."
Coach once again tosses me the ball Josh runs forward about 10 yards and stops looks at me and holds his hands up, i pump fake then he takes off full sprint down field, he's about 40 yards down field now I turn my hips and throw the ball.
Logan not paying attention to his surroundings is not aware that everyone is Gawking at the absolute dot he threw.
___________________
(for the non sport people.)
Dime/Dot-an accurate, perfectly placed and timed pass that usually results in substantial gains
___________________
Josh still in full-stride leans forward and catch's the perfectly placed pass.
"Damn, what do you think about 55 yards?" Coach Gilbert asks looking at the quarterback coach next to him.
"If not more." The other Coach responds.
Whistles from behind Logan can be heard.
Logan turns around and sees the whole offense.
"Nice shit Logan, BOYS WE GOIN PLACES THIS SEASON!" Matt yells.
The boys start to yell and Hype each other up.
I start to chuckle at this scene.
*Whistle*
Coach Gilbert whistles to get the Defensive Coaches' attention. He motions for him to come over.
A couple of seconds later.
"Alright, Logan I want to see what you can do when there is a defense."
"Alright coach." I say back.
"Coach I want a safety and a defensive back to guard one receiver."
"Alright, Parker, Jesse get into position." the defensive coach says.
"Logan I want you and Josh to pick your own routes." Coach Gilbert says.
"Yes sir." I say while Josh and I start to decide what we want to try.
"Are you familiar with a comeback route?" I ask.
He nods his head.
"Alright, I want you to run 15 yards forward then turn around and run back I'll hit right before you step out of bounds," I say confidently.
"Ok let's try it," Josh responds.
We both get into position.
"Ready, GO!"
Once again Coach tosses the ball to me I catch it and take a couple of steps back, Josh is about at the 15-yard mark.
He gets to the 15-yard mark and slams on the breaks I pump fake, faking the pass, and both of the defenders took the bait.
He starts coming back I throw the ball with some power and hit him right before he stepped out of bounds.
We repeated this changing the route every time only dropping the ball one time.
After about 15 passes and different routes, Coach Gilbert saw enough.
*Whistle*
"HUDDLE UP!" Coach Gilbert yells.
"I got some news for all of you, our first game is is in two weeks against Beverly Hills High School, of course it's only a scrimmage but Coach Baker and I thought it would be great practice for both teams.
With our teams track record we look like a easy team to win against, but we will show them, lets practice hard so we can give them hell.
Now Let's welcome our new starting quarterback Logan Barret."
The whole team erupted in cheers and started patting me on the back which was pretty cool.
"SHIP SHIP SHIP SHIP." was the chants of the whole team.
'Championship that sounds nice.' I think to myself.
To be continued.
