“Always looking for new assistant coaches. Luke might be rehabbed enough to get the Goshen job if it opens up, but if that happens, there could be a spot for Nonads here at Milford.”
I think there is rivalry between every coach in the conference… I suspect it is written in all of their job contracts. It can range between friendly and hostile but whenever your teams meet you want your players to win, not the other team.
This will be the football season of Goshen vs. Milford? A problem for me with these story arcs is the adults become the teenagers. Of course, we’re witnessing their own pecking order developing down there, too, on the field, during practice. Boys, I’m’a tellin’ ya. Marty Moon is no longer the strawman, providing information for us (“Jefferson Jeffs take a 21 – 17 lead, but Arnie Wilcox with the football, and Coach Thorp who often has a trick play up his sleeve, stayed tuned….”). He – not Gil – becomes too much the link between characters that pop up (although I realize there’s readers who can’t get enough Marty Moon). And, then, once (sort of) resolved, there is nowhere for the adult character to go. They — gasp — just become a Coach. For another school. Ahead, maybe Coach Jeff Jefferson will feel Coach Thorp dissed him on the basketball court. Stay tuned.
P 4 (Gil): “…why of course Marty!….let’s just say that I appreciate Coach Gernads and his teams the same way that Notre Dame appreciates Navy…(giggle,,,snort…)….”
P 4 (Gil): “…well,…since you asked me…..is that the guy who let a couple of high school punks put a beat down on him?…the last time I saw him, he was so inebriated that he could barely stand up…not the kind of guy that should be working kids……did you get all that?…if not, I can repeat it…”
“Well, if history is any guide, he will probably melt down under pressure and get fired, I’ll add him to our coaching staff at half pay, and then I will need to show up to even fewer games…”

Maybe it’s time to have Gil send some of the Goshen basketball players over to deliver a punch to the solar plexus to Gerads.

But faces aren’t important in football. Or so I’m told.
Wait, they are talking about football, right?
