"Are you okay, Captain?" Jessica Keller wanted to know. "You don't look so good." "I am just nervous about this game, that's all." I replied, tying the laces of her soccer cleats. "How come?" "Besides it being the last game of the season, talent scouts from Schreiner, Baylor, and Texas Tech are going to be there today." "Simone, there is no reason to be nervous." Jessica smiled, reassuring-ly. "Need I remind you that this team has not lost a game the past two seasons because of you?" Before I had a chance to thank Jessica for her kind words, Coach Sara was informing us that it was time for the game to start.
