The Counterfeit Tackle (2009)
“The sky was scudded with gray clouds, the sun peeking through only occasionally.
The Cougars strutted around the field like cocky roosters. They had won their first two games, and were confident that they would beat the Otters, too.
The Otters won the toss and chose to receive. Abe West, the Cougars’ husky fullback, kicked the ball. Craig caught it on his eighteen and ran it back to his twenty-eight.
Buzz watched the game from the bench. The coach had Toi Ying playing right tackle.
... I wonder if he’ll put me in, Buzz thought. I just wonder.
He wasn’t wearing his glasses. The coach had said it might be dangerous to play tackle with them on. It was sure hard to see things in the distance without them. But he didn’t care. He just wanted to see if the guys would really be friendly toward him now that they knew he was Buzz and not Corky.
Frosty Homan gained five yards on a run through left tackle.MoreLess
