America 1979

Chapter 76 Even the Longhorns Can Catch the Ball

Bill, who hadn't been notified in advance, was a little confused. Fortunately, he was considered an old man of the team, so he stood up after a few tens of seconds and talked nonsense.

"The New York County-Lincoln high school football team that got us off the ground last season is the son of a bitch."

Anyway, after this season, he will secure the offer, and Bill doesn't care about his image in the Hamatun school team, how he can let himself go.

Trash talk can stimulate the secretion of adrenaline the most, and the noise in the entire locker room suddenly increased, and the applause continued continuously.

"The same goes for our last opponents, William Hambin in Game [-] of the Championship."

This was the last defeat of the Hamatun school team last season, and it was also the most critical game to prevent them from meeting the governor. Coincidentally, they met in the regular season before, and the two teams also settled Liang Zi.

The applause and cheers became more enthusiastic, and many players uttered words such as "bitch", "sour bitch" and "F***".

When the momentum died down, Bill continued to shout: "This season, let's dry them on the griddle."

After three sentences, Bill sat down and applauded himself.

Charlie, who was in charge of the field, didn't expect the core players of the team to speak so briefly, but they were so exciting. He waited until the applause subsided before he asked the next player to say a few words.

……

The passion in the locker room quickly turned into sweat on the court. In the next few days, the coaches made the players realize that the championship is not easy to win.

After the former quarterback ran away, Bill and Charlie had to get in touch with the pass. Fortunately, both of them had a good foundation, and they had a good understanding in two or three weeks. Sometimes, even without a secret signal, Charlie made a move. Bill knew exactly which way to run.

On the Friday of the second week after the start of the autumn semester, that is, No. 12 in September, the Hamatun school team ushered in the first game of the new season.

In the southern standard football stadium that can accommodate 2 people, the number of cheering fans wearing blue and white clothes has increased significantly. Some of them are holding Bill's most famous image, a running Texas Longhorn.

Bill, in brand-new protective gear, played behind the quarterbacks and running backs in the first row. The No. 88 jersey was very recognizable, and his appearance brought the atmosphere of the stadium to a climax.

The opponent was a mid-to-high school team in Brooklyn. If it was the Hamotun school team in the early part of last season, it might have barely tied with this opponent, but this season is different.

Bill, who can rush and pass, surprised many people. In the offensive time of the first quarter, after his strength strengthened, his opponent was no longer able to stop him. The enemy cornerback and linebacker were basically decorations, and they couldn't stop the charging Texas longhorn.

After the Hamatun school team got the ball in the first quarter, Mr. Ferrari deserved his title of Longhorn Bull. He either received the football from the quarterback of the midfield and then pushed forward with the ball, or went straight forward. , After reaching the designated area, look back for Charlie's long-distance prequel.

After such a tactical move is completed, one [Fourth Offensive] can advance more than 20 yards. When the second [Fourth Offensive] is completed, the enemy coach directly calls timeouts twice, changing their defensive tactics one after another.

Since the enemy can't stop Bill's charge with the ball, they can only choose to destroy the process of receiving the pass, but Charlie will pass the ball to the running back around him, and let the running back pass to Bill, the tight end who is on standby on the right.Although this takes a long time, it can also advance with a large number of yards. In the third fourth-down offense, Bill, who received the prepass, was invincible all the way and directly caused a touchdown.

In this regard, the most commented in the audience is "even the Texas Longhorns can catch the ball."

The absolute lead in size and strength allowed Mr. Ferrari to dominate the field on the strong side. In the first game, he scored three touchdowns and 72 yards of advancing distance, and the rest of the offensive distance was won by running backs. Act as an opportunity maker.

"Twenty to seven, the start of the season was even better than I thought it would be."

Coach Murphy, with arms crossed, looked at the final score and said.

"Bill is considered a member of the quasi-college team, one level higher than ordinary high school students, so it's not surprising that he is classified like this."

Robert is also very satisfied with the first game. If the Hamotun school team can win this season's championship, his resume will make up for the shortcomings. In the future, he will be able to coach a weaker high school team, and use the word "assistant" remove.

In the locker room, Bill received even more praise than quarterback Charlie. Hayes, who was newly promoted to the starting position of the defensive team, took the lead in praising Bill as the absolute core of the team's offensive tactics.

"I just love to bully kids. If I run into that black team in the Bronx that I met last season, I might stop."

This is Bill's plan. When playing against a weaker team, try to show yourself, make the data on the court look better, and be more flexible when you encounter a strong team. Instead of going head-to-head with strong guards and strong linebackers, choose to turn quickly. Go in, shake it if you can, pass the ball to the running back if you can't.

In short, keep yourself in a relatively safe position, and keep yourself free from injuries this season is the top priority.

But he obviously miscalculated. The Hamatun school team's first performance on the court was beautiful enough to make the butterfly of fate flap its wings.

……

NFHS New York State Association offices on Monday.

Last Friday, the game data of each minor league has been sent here. Dozens of staff members are evaluating the strength and ranking of the high school teams this season based on the situation of the first game, so as to arrange the schedule for the next few games .

Some teams with high attention were also recorded, allowing the directors of the association to judge the specific situation.

"Why is the Fort Hamilton school team so strong? The first game was [-] to [-]. Didn't it mean that their quarterback went to college?" Someone questioned.

The quarterback seriously affects the team's strength, so even if the Hamatun school team entered the championship, the association also lowered the ranking this season to prevent the Hamatun school team from being blown up.

"They have a very strong tight end. There is basically no opponent on the strong side. The cornerbacks and linebackers can't put him down." A director who watched the halftime video gave his opinion.

Another director added: "Yeah, their new quarterback looks like he's on the pass line and can quickly see what's on the griddle and make plays accordingly. That way, the tough tight end makes up for the four changes. The strength of the shooting guard has declined. It seems that this Bill should have the strength of a college team. In the first game, the strong guards who pushed each other with him were brought down after a face-to-face."

After exchanging opinions, the directors decided to improve the ranking of the Hamatun school team, and notified the minor leagues in the southern counties to arrange stronger opponents for the Hamatun school team.

This is for the sake of fairness, and the school team of this level cannot be allowed to bully the weaker teams in the low-level area.

PS: Ask for a recommendation ticket and ask for a monthly ticket.
