Thanks to Miltie's plays we won three games in a row and finished the season 7-3,tied with our rivals, the Mudflat Maulers.A playoff game would decide the championship.
The Maulers were led by a huge linebacker named Maurice, but no one dared call him that.He went by the name "618."Some guys said that was his weight, but it was short for his nickname, "The 618 Express."When he charged, it was like a train barreling down the tracks.Whenever he tackled the ball-carrier he shouted, "The 618 is right on time."
Fortunately, Beefalo kept 618 out of my way long enough to set Miltie's plays in motion.Jimmy gained twenty-five yards in one play, and then ran another twenty-five for a touchdown.
"I covered one quarter of the field on each run," Jimmy proudly said to Miltie.Jimmy's math grade had improved since Miltie started calling our plays."Add them together, and that's half the field."
We scored again on the "Angles to the End Zone" play.Meanwhile, we held the Maulers to a field goal.
At the start of the fourth quarter, we were still ahead 14-3, but they scored right away on the kickoff.Then came the big blow.
We had the ball on the Mauler 20-yard line and were set up for a field goal.It would be an easy kick for Beefalo, even with The 618 Express coming in full speed.
I took the snap. Beefalo booted the ball into the air.Then I heard a snap. This time, it was my wrist.
"The 618 is right on time!" cried out the Mauler as he ran right over me."Even if it jumped the track," he laughed under his breath.The guy had steamrolled me on purpose.
I was out of the game. The field goal was good, which made me feel a little better, but not for long.The Maulers scored again to tie the game, then they kicked a field goal to go ahead 20-17.
With me out, our backup quarterback Philly Stone took over, and he was plainly nervous.He fumbled on his first play, but luckily Beefalo recovered the ball.Then he threw an interception on the third play.Finally, in the last minute, with Miltie calling the plays, Philly put together a drive to the Mauler 15-yard line.
It was fourth down with three seconds on the clock.A field goal would send the game to sudden-death overtime - the first team to score wins.
Miltie called a time-out. The team gathered around.
"I say we kick the field goal, then get them in overtime," said Beefalo.
"What if you miss?" asked Philly.
"I won't," said Beefalo."We're at the 15-yard line.That's only fifteen-hundredths of the field - a cinch for me."
"But what if I mess up?" said Philly. "You saw what 618 did to Dan.That's not helping my nerves." He had a point.
"Forget the field goal," said Miltie. "Let's go for it."A hush replaced the usual huddle hubbub. "I've got a plan."
