I am rewriting the part when Boobie is all mad that younger running back that replaces him.
Chris Comer:
This part I am rewriting is from pages 16-20
“I’m so glad the coaches decided play me over Boobie in such a important game against our rivals Midland Lee. I’m sort of scared that Midland Lee wills injury because I know they are not a play clean team. I am also scared that I will not be as good as Boobie and everyone will talk bad about me but hopefully after I run this first play I will feel better. I have to prove myself because this might be my only chance. I have to. After that first play I busted through the line and ran for a 1st down. I feel good and now with some confidence I feel 10 times better. Throughout the whole came that I played I ran for best game and had a couple TD’s now. But at halftime in the locker room I saw Boobie was really upset and he took his pads off and threw them against the wall with anger and frustration. And then after the game I saw him crying with another player and I think it wasn’t because we lost, I think it was because he didn’t play. I feel bad. I got to play but now Boobie is mad and doesn’t get to play.”
