QB Kneel

Coach Davis told me that it's normal to get upset to your stomach before a big game. His advice was to go ahead and let it all out and then get on with the game. I did that, but the feeling of nausea stuck with me throughout last night's game. It never went away, until the final play.

"You're nothing without that defense." That's what seemed to be the theme after the game. We beat West Warwick, but according to everyone inside and outside of our team, our offense looked confused and unprodcutive. I guess that's my fault. Coach keeps saying, "Read the defense, Malcolm....Readers are leaders!" I threw 2 interceptions and 2 touchdowns. The nausea never went away. I'm standing there bent over, dry-heaving; I look up and see my dad staring right at me. I could see a ton of concern in his eyes, and then I saw his lips move and I read, "Come on Malcolm." His head nodded in a verticle motion, "Come on, buddy."

Getting back on the field was actually a relief. Our defense forced 3 fumbles and 2 interceptions. My upset stomach was now relieved as I heard Coach Davis say, "QB Kneel...sit on it, and let's go home."
