The bobcats and the {almost} disaster

" And there they are the reigning champions of the bobsleding commpition, the San Francisco, junior high, girls varsity team the BOBTAILS!!!" That's our que to come running out of the tunnel. Hi my names Monique and I'm the captain of the bobtails bobsledding team at the junior high here in San Francisco. My teammates names are Heather, Angel, and Fang. We make up a 4 person bobsleding team. We go to the School For Sports Greats. Its an all girls school in the heart of San Fransisco. This is the story of how we (against all odds) won the bobsledding championship.

It all started when Fang broke her leg in a pole vaulting accident.

We were competing against our arch rivals the all boys school known as The School For The Sons Of Sports Greats or SSSG anyway we were beating them 78 to 9 with 2 vaults to go. Fang is by far the best pole vaulter at our school so she did our last vault and SSSG chose Hartley Johnson son of famous pole vaulter Lawrence Johnson. Hartley went first, he did a good vault, the judges gave him a 9.0. Then Fang went, when she went up she knew that she wasn't going to make it over. The rest of the team on the ground knew too. We heard a loud CRACK when her lower leg hit the bar. Fang fell like a dead weight. The rest of the team and the SSSG team ran over. That was the only time I had ever seen Fang cry in public so we knew it was broken. It also helped that her leg was bent in a way that is wasn't supposed to bend. With the championships not far away and Fang with a broken leg we didn't know what to do. It normally takes a broken bone 2 months to heal but we would soon learn that it was shattered and we only had 2 weeks until the championship.

"I have no idea what to do about the championship" I said to Fang the next day in school. She had an orange cast on her lower leg. "With you and your shattered leg and all"

"I don't either, we might have to drop out" she replied. Dropping out was the LAST thing that we wanted to do."but I'm sure that i can do it" she said

" but, how are you going to move the sled when you can barley lift you back pack." Heather said coming from hockey practice. She had her hockey stick made of carbon graphite with an aluminum shaft and fiberglass goalie mask. She was with Angel who had just come from cycling practice. She was carrying her bike in her backpack.

I was looking at Angels back pack when the bell rang. "We need to get to class" I said hoisting mine and Fangs back packs onto my back and we headed to class. After class we met in the lunch room for a quick snack and then we headed to bobsledding practice. We entered the custom made snow filled gym with runs made for the bobsleds. There we met coach Cass,

" What happened to you" she asked Fang indicating at her cast

'' Pole vaulting" she replied

" Ok?" coach replied

we praticed for a hour and then we headed home. Fang and I are neighbors so we walk home together. As we were walking home we talked about bobsledding. I asked Fang what we should do about her injury. She replied

" Maybe you should look for a replacement for me you know kind of an honorary member"

I thought about that maybe Fang was right. The next day I put up flyers advetising the tryouts in the bobsledding gym.

I got the team together and we went into the gym. The line was all the way out the door!

*******************

After all of the tryouts we meet and decided that a girl named Josey was our best bet.

The day of the championship I was majorly exciervous {mix between excited and nervous} the team and I made it up at our first compition/scrimage. We had only had one practice with the new girl Josey. She was pretty good not as good as Fang though. She messed up a little bit yesterday and the sled ended up upside down on top of me. I'm fine but still a little angry. Anyway were at the top of the run and we are going to face the SSSG team and Hartley was there and asked about Fang I said

"Fine, shes fine." I wonder...... anyway we are on the run and were in the lead now and theres the finish line and WE WON !!!!!!!!
