The captain, Jake, stared at the coach, who’d just delivered the news: "We need you at center, Jake. You’ve got the size and the vision." Jake felt… buoyant. He puffed out his chest, a barely suppressed chuckle escaping his lips. No more grinding in the trenches as a guard. He was at the helm, directing the offense.

He pictured the plays, the open lanes, the possibility of setting up a score. He felt a thrill of anticipation. During the next practice, he felt himself move with an unprecedented lightness. This was going to be fun.
