บท 42: Chapter 42

But the Tigers offense sputters and stalls. Ethan watches from the sideline, itching to get back in the game. 

"Come on, guys"

 he mutters.

 "Let's work as a team."

However his pleas fall on deaf ears. The Knights score again. And again. It's 42-12, and without being told Ethan could tell the game is slipping away.

And if he doesn't do anything, they are going to lose the game.

At that moment Ethan couldn't take it anymore. 

On the kickoff, he fields the ball in his own end zone. And he's off. 

"I've got to do something"

he said, racing upfield. 

"I can not let us lose like this."

At that moment he  started breaking tackle after tackle, the crowd couldn't help but roar with every move he made. But at the last second of the attack, he stumbles, brought down just short of the goal line.

Ethan couldn't help but punch the ground in frustration. 

"Dam, I was so close."
