Hoovey Page #6

This is the first time I've ever

felt like it wasn't just me.

I'm a part. Of a team...

llh...

a family.

Come on boys!

Win it on three!

One!

Two!

Three!

Win it!

Hey!

Hey, Dad.

You good?

Yeah, I'm good.

How you doing', bud?

You're not gonna ask me to cough, are ya?

No.

I gotta get in better shape.

You gotta watch out for number twelve.

That guys likes to hack.

He's got tone lock on you.

Tell me about it.

Just watch your back.

All right.

Thanks, Doc.

He'll be fine.

Hey.

Hey.

Be careful.

Why?

I've got gravitas.

Get out there.

Hey, Mike...

And Derek Jones

with the ball as we begin

the third quarter.

Easy two points. The Cobras are up by four.

Elliot pressing back with the Spartans.

But Jones is all over him!

You've got to give it up for

these undefeated Cobras

and their defense.

But Elliot finds an opening...

and it's up for three!

And the Spartans trail by one.

Jones to number twenty...

Score!

Derek Jones for the three!

As we begin the fourth quarter

the undefeated Cobras are

really beginning to dominate

here tonight.

Our Olympia Spartans trail by ten

with less than four minutes to play.

Donovan Oaks picks up the rebound...

To Jared White...

Score Spartans!

Jones...

A great steal by the Spartans!

Jared White scores again!

Oh yes!

Elliot to Oakes...

Score Spartans!

Ladies and Gentlemen it looks

like our whole team has

some last minute surprises in store.

Hoovey Elliot... to Oakes.

Score Spartans!

Technical foul, you twelve.

Oh Jeff.

This game has clearly

reached a boiling point

for the Cobras' Derek Jones.

But Hoovey's okay, ladies and gentlemen.

He's okay.

You hit him again,

I'm gonna break your jaw.

You understand me?

The Spartans'

Eric Hoovey Elliot

is up for the technical free

throws that could tie this game.

The Spartans trail by just one point.

- Yes!

- And it's good!

We have a tied game here, with

just over a minute to play.

And Coach Wilson puts

number five, Aaron Taylor,

in for Elliot.

We made it.

Good job young man.

Now you're done for tonight.

If only he had a little

more gas in his tank.

Yeah, don't push your luck.

This whole thing's a miracle.

You know that?

Coach?

Yeah?

Give me a minute. I just need a breather.

No sir.

You did your job and

Donovan's got the hot hand.

We can handle it.

Lord, please.

Just one more minute.

I know I can do this.

Personal foul

with number forty-one.

He... He's not very nice.

Time out Spartans.

You sure you're done?

No way, dude.

Ugh.

All right.

Coach?... Yeah?

I can go.

I can go.

Your call.

Oh no you don't.

You're not putting this on me.

Yeah. I am.

Coach, I'm in.

All right, go check yourself in.

Thirty-three.

Now look...

You won't remember the

score like you remember

what happens in the next

forty-five seconds of your life.

Give everybody here

something to believe in.

Do your job.

All right, we on three.

One, two, three...

We!

Let's go!

That's the best pass I

ever saw, Hoovey-man.

Let's take it.

Go Spartans!

That's it.

Let's shoot it, son.

That's enough with all that, man.

Hoovey! Hoovey!

"Hoovey! Hoovey!"

You with me, son?

Hoove!

Are you with me, boy?

Hoove, come on.

Did you see that left move, big boy?

Yeah I saw it, Pinto.

I'm okay, Mom.

Did go in, didn't it?

Nothing but net.

That was my shot, too.

If you think they can't

shoot, you can use a player

from the bench, Coach. Not from the floor.

Coach.

This is my shot.

Mine.

Okay then...

drain it.

Were you really gonna hit that guy?

I still might.

Don't bother.

I'm finishing this right now.

You all shoulda' been

there when I brought him home

some helmets to try out.

You see, the thing is...

eventually...

we all just have to let go

and get in that wheelbarrow.

Or we'll never get to the other side.

Because believing...

makes it possible.

Faith...

makes it real.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

the entire Elliot family.

I was having headaches all the time

and, uh, getting sick,

and we thought it was

just a sinus infection.

But we found out that it

was, uh, a brain tumor

the size of an orange.

Surgery was performed to remove the tumor

from Eric's brain.

But a new challenge would arise for Eric

after the surgery.
