THE LOUD NOISES of yelling and cheering could be heard as the players entered the locker room. they had just won one of their games and they were all proud and so was their coach.
spencer held his head up while smiling, still remembering the touchdowns he made. the big smiles that was on his sister and mother's faces along with how he seemed to satisfy the crowd tonight.
coach baker walked in, clapping for them before catching their attention. "tonight, you all finally played to your full potential."
"yeah!" they yelled on the top of their lungs. he smiled while continuing, "we sent a message tonight the whole league tonight." the older baker said.
"you know what that message is?" he stood in the middle of their circle as they shook their heads, "whats that, coach? tell us."
"if you're gonna come, you got to come through us." he voiced. "i said, if you're gonna come, you gotta come through us." the players repeated after him.
"this was much more than just one win." he stated. "this was the beginning of something special."
they all huddled up, putting their arms in the air and doing a small chant. "message on 3. message on 3."
"message!"
the next day, coach baker stood in the locker room as he was being questioned by reporters. they eventually caught on to all the games that beverly was winning and wanted to interview him.
"coach, can you explain your team's dramatic turnaround?" the interviewer asked while holding a microphone to his mouth.
the team had been winning games and having practices and scrimmages back to back, with the help of spencer of course.
"the talent was always there." he answered. "we just needed to come together." the older woman nodded and moved the mic away from him.
"there seems to be an excitement surrounding this team that beverly high hasn't seen in a long time."
"this is the the team we've been trying to build ever since i first came to beverly." coach baker remarked, "we finally have all the pieces we need."
"with the addition of spencer james?"
"spencer, yes." he nodded. "he is obviously a very special player, but i tell you one thing, he is not even scratching the surface as far as how good he's going to be."
