Mark gave his mom and dad a hug. Afterward, he gave an extra-long hug to his little sister Katie, who seemed a little bit embarrassed but she also didn’t want to let go. As the door shut behind them, he let out a sigh and flopped down on the bed. His new roommate, Mike said, ”You are free, my child.” Mark chuckled, ”I remember when I loved summer break. Now, I just want to be here all year round.” “Yeah,” said Mike. “I ha...

It was finally the first day for everybody to report. Mark had spent the last two weeks working with Coach on the playbook and all of the other technical aspects. Zach was there occasionally, focusing on drills, workouts, and all aspects of the training regiment. Mark missed his old teammates and he was eager to meet the new ones.

The two hit it off quite well and David was impressed by Sam’s personality and politeness. By the time that two finished chatting, Sam had acquired a new part-time job. During practice, they had a team scrimmage. Mark and Luke led the second string w...
