Seabrook High School- Football Field

Harry and the football team was standing in positions on the field across from the other team as the team cheered.

Harry chuckled. "You want a piece of me? All right, boys, we got him. There's no 'I' in team, okay? But there is a 'I' in zombie, okay? That's not the point. Let's go, Seabrook!"

One of Harry's teammates whispered to a player on the other team. "Hey, be my guest. The zombie's all yours."

The other player nodded. "Uh-huh."

"Set," The quarterback yelled. "Hut!"

The game was now in action. The other team players hounded over Harry making him get piled on.

"Oh, that hurts," the game announcer spoke as the referee blew his whistle and the crowd started to booing.

"Ow," Harry muttered as he laid on the ground.

"Oh, zombie down!" Taylor exclaimed. "Let's go. Five, six, seven, eight."

The cheer squad made their routine

"Well, it's third and long for Seabrook," the announcer announced. "Really long. Yep. The Mighty Shrimp are doing what they do best. Losing."

"Come on, Harry," Sabrina muttered to herself after she stopped cheering.

The game started from the beginning again, with the quarterback yelling 'hut' and then they all ran around the field. Harry got the ball, and the other players tried to get it from him and get him down. They did get him down, making the crowd gasp. The other got the ball and ran to the goal. Harry looked up from the ground at them and groaned.

The referee blew his whistle as the other made a goal.

In the crowd was Des, Piper, Zendaya and Shawn standing at the top of the bleachers.

Piper turned to her father. "At least the cheerleaders are amazing." She turned back to look forward. "Go, Seabrook! Go, Seabrook! Go, Seabrook!"

"We don't clap for cheerleaders," Zendaya explained. Shawn glanced at her and down at Piper's stuffed animal in his arms and stopped cheering.

The referee blew the whistle again.

"Go, Seabrook," Piper whispered and Des glanced down at his daughter. "Go, Seabrook!"

"It's halftime and the Mighty Shrimp are getting barbecued." The announcer announced. "Skewered, fried, flayed."

Changing Room

The football team were in the changing room, listening to their coach.

"Here's what you need to do, okay?" Coach explained, writing it down on the whiteboard. "I'm only gonna draw this once, so pay attention. All you have to do, move forward! Move all the way forward! Don't go back, there's nothing back here! This is empty. You don't need to go back here. You need to go up here! The end zone is up there! Just go, just move it up! Just move. Just do something. Look, I knew we were gonna lose. All right? And you knew it, too. So, let's go to it there and low... better?" Coach sighed. "Go team." The team left the room, except for Harry. Coach walked over to him and chuckled. "Doggone if you didn't get me dreaming of winning, huh? Oh, shame on me. What is happening out there?"

Harry shrugged. "Uh, I don't know, coach. Maybe it's team chemistry? But... honestly, I'm not sure the team's actually blocking for me."

Principal Perry walked in. "Hey, Harry," the two men turned to her. "I thought we had a deal. You didn't keep your end of it, huh? So, win this game or it's back to the basement."
