Summary:
So now the first game of the second part of the season starts, and they are playing Wadleigh. This is there first and only non-league game, this is going to be a tough game because the kids and the other team are fast and they never become tired. Quoting Drew , "The only way to stop them was to get an early lead and then control the boards so they couldnt run". Which they didnt so they lose by 12 points, but it wasnt the players fault they lost, because the coach was looking out for one person because he wanted him to do good. That didnt go as planned because Tomas had the ball stripped from him, and he didnt play any defense. Once the game was over the team got on the bus, and went to the school . When they arrived at the school, tomas asked drew to come with him to his house. Drew meets his mother, and they talk about what therr family has been through.

Reactionary:
I feel as if it is stupid to the fact that the father, and who ever was in the letter had to go to jail because of a writing. The law about invade there space by putting them in jail for a simple thing like that.

Based on what the quote had explained, it was sad to read, because where I live in boston some of tht exactly happens, so i can relate what happens close to were I live, to where drew and his family lives in New York. I think it really bring down the communtiy when many of the kids die or go to jail because they dont show good examples to the young kids. Those types of things that happen are very unfortunate, but you dont have to go down that path if you dint want to.
