The Trojan vs The Falcon


…..the story of game 3

The mid-day sun shone down on the field as the warm ups and practice drills began. The mighty Falcons were trying to put on their game faces, but felt as though their wings had been clipped. Their fellow Fierce Fighting Falcon was not able to join them for this battle with the Morgan Trojans. For Payson had the flu and was trapped in the dungeon of his home, confined to the bed or couch with no route of escape.

The mighty Falcons knew, like all great warriors do, they must endure their loss. They mended their broken wing as best they could, adjusted their alignment, and formed their pre-game huddle.

As the captains gathered to flip the coin, the team began their chant…I AM STRONG!!! I AM POWERFUL!!! I AM A FALCON!!! In an attempt to uplift the spirits of the team, the leader of the chant added… I AM A CHAMPION!!!!! And the Falcons roared onto the field ready for play.

The Falcons trudged through the first quarter,

.....plodded through the second quarter,

doing very well, but not quite up to their standard of excellence.

Although they had not let the Trojans score, they were getting very close. Then suddenly, the Trojans on the FOUR, the Head Falcon called a time out. “Listen boys, you know what they are going to do. They have played this play 3 times before, watch their formation, and kick it into gear!!!”

So, as the Falcons lined up, watching their opponent closely, Josh saw the play exactly like Coach said it would be!

Running into position, Josh intercepted the ball, and ran the 96 yards for a TOUCHDOWN!!!!

The crowds went wild, cheering and screaming for the FALCONS!!! And the Falcons knew they could not be beat.

They went into the half time huddle, excited about the play. They listened to their instruction and returned to the field full of pump and energy.

The banner was waving, proudly displaying the WEST POINT FALCON moniker. Two FALCONS emblazoned on the banner bearing the #2 reminded the Fighters of their teammate that was absent. “Let’s do it for PAYSON” one Falcon cried. The team responded with a booming chorus of “YEAH! FOR PAYSON!! PAYSON! PAYSON! PAYSON!” They cheered as they ran out onto the field, crashing through the banner bearing Payson’s trade mark.

The Fiercely Fighting Falcons went on to play a hard hitting,

Trojan pounding battle.

Pads and helmets crashing and crunching,

Falcons and Trojans colliding and flying…..

......on to victory they played. Shutting out the Mighty Trojans….28-0!!!

The fans cheered and yelled, the Falcons jumped and hollered. Then they gathered as all proud fighters do to give tribute to their valiant rival. “MORGAN!!” They bellowed and went on to walk the line, good gaming, and fist bumping, and thanking their challenger for a strong effort.

They gathered under the tree, happy and satisfied with a solid “W” on the board. The Falcon Leaders expressed their joy, their excitement, their words of wisdom and intellect.

And the Falcon Fury became a force of power and strength and intensity. WE ARE STRONG. WE ARE POWERFUL. WE ARE FALCONS, and WE ARE CHAMPIONS!!!
