This is the first book I read from front to back. This book is about a football towns tragedy of the Hurricane Katrina. It wiped out the whole state and sent people to other states and moving away from the Hurricane. Some moved up state and some of the best players there had went to Texas cause they had been recruited to play, witch is illegal. The star player went to live with his grandma and was very uncomfortable and wanted to be back home. They had lost everything they owned so the coaches and family's over in Texas payed for an apartment and free everything. Two years after the thing they were rebuilding he had went back to his home town and his own school. They lost a few games in the season his Jr year and didn't make the playoffs it was rebuilding. His senior year he and a remarkable season and he was leading his team to the state playoffs. Soon as they knew it there were packing in the morning to head to the Super Dome. It had taken them around 6 or 7 hours to drive there. The day before the big game for the class 1A state championship they were there watching the 2a state game. Everybody was really scared and really nervous for the next day. The next day comes and the hop on the bus from the hotel and head to the game. Once the arrived they went to the locker rooms and got ready for the big one. Once they had got on the field some of the player threw up just from butterfly's.
There was 38,000 in attendance to watch these two teams play St. Plaque's were playing St. Johns for the class 1a state championship game. It was finally game time and it was ready to go St. plaque's received the ball and got about 30 yard return. On the first play of the game the start QB got sacked and lost the ball and St. Johns took it in for a TD. Next drive he had thrown a interception so St. Plaque's was down 14-0. The Hurricanes had Finlay got it together and started clicking. By halftime St. Plaque's was up 35-14 and it look liked St. Johns was beat out of the game. It was the 4th quarter and the score was 48to14 and there was so much peole celebrating and in joy and hope was coming back to New Orleans. So the St. Plaque's had won the state championship and brought hope back to the state. The final was 56-14 for the state championship.
This game or book reminds me of my Superbowl game and shows never give up. The past two years we were in the Superbowl and lost twice and it was a heart breaker. This year we were playing the Manzano Monarchs they open up to and 18-0 lead on us in the first quarter. We didn't know what was going wrong we been here to many times. We connected to our best wide receiver twice before half time and made the score 18-16. Second half was different it was our game and only us can beat us. They got the ball to start the 4th quarter and they were on the 2yard line and had to go 98 yards to score. We had got a safety and tied it up. Once they got the ball back again the fumbled it and we picked it up and scored. We made it 24-18 and the clock was running out and we had beat the Monarchs 24-18
