Summer 2010: Gil is at Milford CC, coaching St. Fabian stars Torrey and Kemper Peake, but their dad Carl is driving Kemper hard and is a notorious cheat to boot. With the top spot on the junior team at stake, Kemper’s opponent’s tee shot goes missing, via Carl’s pocket, and Kemper wins! All season Torrey rolls, while Kemper loses, with his dad dogging him from the gallery, consisting of him. On the sly, Torrey starts seeing champion golfer Chris Stiles, who alerts Torrey that Kemper, somehow unaware of his dad’s machinations, is gaining a rep as a cheater. Gil investigates and confronts Carl, who is banned from Milford CC! With Carl gone, Kemper’s game takes off. He meets Chris in the finals and is even at no. 18, with Stiles in trouble. One ricochet shot later and Kemper is second again, but he is only a sophomore and with his dad off his back, the sky’s the limit! Fall 2010: Diminutive Jamarr Gaddis likes to call himself “The Ghost,” but doesn’t like two-a-days or being part of the team, really, as he is so good. Captain Cody Exner makes him practice anyway, and in between sessions his mom brings Sloppy Joes! But she’s his umpteenth foster mom, and the football squad is his true family. The team is mainly winning, but mysterious late-night $50 transactions are happening at dangerous-looking “Town Park,” where Cody likes to celebrate after games. After one of the guys hanging with him after hours is busted for 11 ounces of marijuana, Dr. (Martha!) Pearl suspends Cody. Gil objects, telling Pearl that Cody is an upstanding team captain, but it turns out he’s also a small-time dealer and is soon expelled! Martha: “Told you so!” With Gil in mental turmoil and their captain banished, the team collapses, crushing its playdown hopes. But at season’s end Gil has them rehab a foster home camp, and they pull together to beat Tech, including four TDs for the Ghost, who takes full credit with Moon. The team unites one last time to tape him to his locker.
