"The Big Hit"

“The Big Hit”

“Classes… ” Davion said.

“Classes for what!” Davion said.

“I am the best quarterback alive.” He said with a smile.

The old white man giving the classes told him “But you need them son,”

“Beginners need classes, not me!” Davion said.

Davion walked out the locker room a little offended by what the old man told him. As he was heading towards his car, he got a phone call.

“Hello?” Davion said.

“We have to meet up in the field by six.” Coach said.

“I’ll be there after I get out the gym.” Davion said.

Davion was in the gym working out, he was pumping the weights; getting ready for the big game. As he was working out, a few hours later; he lost track of time . He looked back and saw his coach walking in the door.

“Where were you? … We were supposed to meet at the field at six! Its eight thirty now!” The coach said.

“My bad coach … I lost track of time working out.” Davion said.

“It’s okay. Anyways; you have to be at the field tomorrow at three to sign autographs and take pictures with the fans.” Coach Responded.

“I’ll be there a little earlier … I want to have all my stuff ready for the game. But I’ll be there for sure!” Davion said.
The next day came along; everything was set for the big game. The crowd was on fire, everyone had their team’s jerseys cheering their lungs out. The teams started to line up on the end of the fields for the national anthem. Helmets off, heads up high, and all the fans singing along. Lou was sitting down; calm, focused, and ready to play! While Davion was focused on the fans and signing autographs … his wasn’t in the game like Lou’s was.

         Kick off came along; both teams were ready to play, fired up . Referee blew the whistle; ball went through the air into the receiver’s hands. Davion’s team was stopped at the 29 yard line. Davion and the offense walked on the field, ready to play ball. They went for a run-play; didn’t seem to work with those defensive linemen stopping all the runs up the middle.

1st and 2nd quarter go by … Davion’s team is winning so far. Lou was out for the first 2 quarters … Half time was over … Lou steps onto the field as middle linebacker. Davion steps onto the field being cocky just because they are winning. Davion, under the center … ready to run a play gets a 5-yard penalty for being off-sides. So they ended up at the 5-yard line … Davion decides to run a pass play, he comes out the pocket ready to throw it and one of the defensive ends runs towards him and sacks him.
Lou, the strongest linebacker in the league, fired up steps on to the field.

Davion was laughing pointing towards Lou.
