Troy gathered his teammates;they needed to discuss what they had to do. Then they held hands and promised to be good sports, win or lose.
|
...Troy and his teammates were taught that no matter what, always "respect the game."
They looked in the stands at their fans and they were all well-behaved. It did not matter that they were down at the half by sixteen. Their fans did not blame the officials nor did they belittle the team.
Troy, Devin, Justin and Lil D' decided it was time to take control! Troy took the second half kickoff and he hit the hole! He ran and ran and never looked back. This was just the beginning of an amazing act.
