Jason held his arms up in the air with closed fists in victory as his teammates surrounded him. They hoisted him up into the air as he smiled and looked out at the crowd.
His eyes only settling when he found some familiar faces standing amongst the fans. His mom and dad were holding one another as they both jumped up and down in excitement.
'We did it mom, dad. We got past the team that eliminated us last year and earned a spot at the state finals.'
But his joyous mood didn't last long as his gaze drifted over to High Bridge's bench where Rudy was still sitting with a towel over his head.
