Two Letters

The mysterious man was in a dark blue polo with the same colored hat. He had a long gold necklace with the number 23 on it.

"Ethan Woy?"

"Yes?"

"Finally, I get to meet the number one target on our recruiting board. Just call me CP."

"What school are you associated with CP?"

"Michigan. Now about that money that Rich Rod is sending you..."

"Damn, am I in some deep shit for that?"

"No, no. It's just not his money."

"Who's is it then?"

"Mine. Coming out of my own pocket. Coach Rodriguez has me as his main booster. He says he'll pay me back if you do come to Ann Arbor."

"I see, I see. So what did you think about my performance?"

"Honestly, that team you played there was shit."

"You have that right."

"Anyways, you did alright, but I'm not into the hype as much as Coach is. Prove yourself against better teams and then I'll start to respect you."

"Oh I will, don't worry."

"Let's get down to business. I'm here to give you some more money. Wait...no one knows that you're receiving money, right? You and me could be in a big heap of shit if someone found out."

I thought about when I told Melyssa, but I wasn't telling this guy that.

"No, it's on the down low."

"Good. Now anyways, we're uping the dollar amount."

"Continue talking."

"We were giving you 500 every two weeks, but now we're raising it to 750 every week."

"Damn, that's great."

"You bet it is...for you. And it'll be sweet for me if you do follow my orders and commit to Michigan."

"They are definitely the favorites right now."

"Good."

"But, what if I get a better offer?"

"How the hell will you get a better offer? We're paying you cash! Now listen here, you better be committing to Michigan otherwise I don't see many touchdowns in your future."

"What is that supposed to mean?"

"Whatever you think it means kid. Now take the money and get out of here. I'll be in touch soon."

As he jumped into his new 2009 Chevy Impala and drove off, I stood there wondering: Who is this CP? Is it really his money? And what does he mean by 'you won't be scoring many touchdowns if you don't come to Michigan?' This whole recruiting process is spinning my head around and it got more confusing as the days passed on. I was confused trying to process what all CP said when my phone started to ring.

"great game babe. hurry up so we can celebrate ;-)"

Fuck processing, Melyssa awaits.

And that will probably be the last update of the night. I finally have a day off work, and I have some plans with a lady friend, if the weather holds up.

If I don't post again tonight, I'll be back tomorrow for an update before work 3-11 EST.

EDIT: I'll be on for a little while longer, the thing doesn't start till 7, so I don't have to get ready yet.

 

[Lumpkin]

Looks like Ethan is being made an offer he can't refuse

 

[Woy]

Okay, so I just got home. Was at a party last night, spent the night there, and didn't leave till I had work today.

Update coming.

Putting Everett On The Map

Everett Warriors (1-0) at Bellwood-Antis Blue Devils (1-0)

Woy's Word
Bellwood came out fast with a touchdown on their first drive - just like I expected from one of PIAA state semifinalists last year. Eventually they jumped out to a 20-7 lead with five minutes left in the game. Our running game helped us out tremendously, as my best friend John Atherton took a handoff, broke a tackle, and eventually carried a defender into the endzone.

I thought to myself, "damnit, if we're losing this game, we're going down fighting."

Bellwood then surprisingly went three and out, and we got the ball back at our own 37 yard line with three and a half minutes to go. Swindell started picking apart the Blue Devils defense left and right, while I was commanding a double team every play. With two minutes left, I saw that I had single coverage on me, and montioned to Brad for him to look my way. Here's the call, if you're interested.

"Swindell's in the gun. Two minutes left in what has been a fantasic game. Here's the snap, he drops back. Looks left, pump fakes...sees Woy in single coverage on the right! He lets it go...and it's complete! Woy to the five...touchdown Warriors! They have came back to tie this game with 1:45 left in the game!"

Cory kicked the extra point and then we held their desperation heaves towards the endzone, and pulled off a shocking upset. It's pretty safe to say that Everett football is back on the map.

Everett 21
Bellwood-Antis 20

5 catches, 67 yards, 1 TD

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------​

After giving Coach a Gatorade bath, I was approached by three scouts.

"Ethan, Jay Paterno of Penn State. Great game out there. We're ready to offer you a full-ride scholarship to play for the Nittany Lions next year. How does that sound?"

Beaver Stadium. 110,000 screaming fans all wearing white. Joe Paterno. I've bled navy blue and white all my life and now I have the opportunity to play for them.

"Thanks for the offer, I will definitely have it in consideration."

"Mr. Woy! Harold Young, scout from West Virginia. Son, you have a lot of athletic ability and could do wonders in our offense. What do you say?"

Another big-time school offering me. I've never been a fan of WVU, but I could definitely see myself playing there.

"Ethan. Ed Williams from Syracuse University. You have a lot of potential kid and I could see you resurrecting our program. We might not fare so well this year, but with you on our team, we're a Big East contender."

Syracuse has been on the losing end of a lot of games lately, but playing in the Carrier Dome would be sick. I could be a first-year starter and put up incredible numbers. So many offers, so little time.

"That bitch better not sign with any of those schools..."

 

[Shwayzed]

Sidney Crosby dies, the end.

 

[packersfan4eva]

nice update. too bad u only had 5 catches

 

[Woy]

First

Go to PSU that would be sweet.

Favorite school...hmm.

...said Rich Rodriguez well, actually it's that guy whose paying you the money, but still... :hand:

Nice stuff Woy! I'm calling it: 10-0 lol, I was first! (besides Ethan Woy), haha

GL with the next 8-0 Woy, and looking forward to the storyline aspects

Thanks Ian, I've counted and I have at least seven more updates until the State playoffs start.

Sidney Crosby dies, the end.

That was weak. :tongue:

nice update. too bad u only had 5 catches

Yeah, but I was playing a beast team. Plus I came down with the clutch catch.

I'm starting to get the feeling that you're gonna ditch the Wolverines.

Maybe so...maybe not. We'll have to see.

I was thinking the same thing, but if you do they are going to kick your ass :beatup: then your gonna cry :bawling: so i dont know yet

Haha, Woy doesn't cry.

Update coming in a bit.

National Recognition Is Always Good

"Hello, I'm Mike Hall, and welcome to ESPNU Recruiting Insider. On this show, we preview the next stars of college football from their beginnings - the high school days. Last week we spoke about All-American quarterback Matt Barkley and receiver Reuben Randle. Barkley is a USC commit, where if Mark Sanchez declares for the NFL Draft after this season, could be a contender for the starting job right away. Randle has SEC powers LSU, Alabama, and Florida as his top schools. Today we are going to switch gears a little bit and talk about a player who plays for a small school but is quickly flying up recruiting boards."

(shows highlight of a tall, lanky receiver dominating defenses)

"Ethan Woy, wide receiver from Everett High School in Pennsylvania, has put on a show for the local fans the last year. Although the team stumbled to a 2-8 record, he caught 53 passes for 1032 yards and 13 touchdowns, and was named Honorable Mention All-State. He's gotten off to a hot start this year, and with 16 catches, 303 yards, and five touchdowns, he believes he's just getting started."

(shows tape of Woy being interviewed by Fox Sports Pittsburgh)

"We've had a great start to the season, especially defeated state semifinalist Bellwood last week. But we've only equaled our win total from last year. I have much higher goals both for this team, and myself. I want to make first-team All-State, play in the Big 33 game, and I want this team to make a State run. There is no doubt in my mind that the team and I can accomplish all those goals."

"Confident young man, huh? He just pointed out that his Everett Warriors defeated state semifinalist Bellwood-Antis Blue Devils last week, and boy was it a game to watch. With five minutes left in the game, the Warriors were down by 13 when senior tailback John Atherton took the handoff from fellow senior Brad Swindell and rumbled into the endzone. The Warrior defense held the next drive and with two minutes left in the ball game, Woy made the play to give his team the upset."

(plays radio feed from the Bellwood-Antis game)

"Swindell's in the gun. Two minutes left in what has been a fantasic game. Here's the snap, he drops back. Looks left, pump fakes...sees Woy in single coverage on the right! He lets it go...and it's complete! Woy to the five...touchdown Warriors! They have came back to tie this game with 1:45 left in the game!"

"Despite having only five catches and that touchdown, scouts were very impressed with the way he came through in the clutch and scholarship after scholarship was offered to him. Rivals.com had Woy as a three-star prospect, but after last Friday night's performance, he was bumped up to a four-star prospect, and the number seven receiver on the board. Speaking of Rivals, let's look at his page."

(Rivals page shown on the screen)

"He's a tall receiver at six foot three but at 175 pounds, he could put on some weight to dominate at the next level. He's fairly quick with a 4.51 forty yard dash, shown at the Penn State Senior Camp over the summer. His hands have been graded as some of the best in the class of 2009, and he plays basketball, so he can definitely get off the ground. With all his strengths though, there come weaknesses. First off, he plays against lower level competition. The Everett Warriors are a District 5-A team, which could possibly be the weakest district in the state of Pennsylvania. What would he be like if he played in the WPIAL against powers like Jeanette and Pittsburgh Central Catholic?"

(highlight of Woy running downfield routes)

"The next weakness in his game is his route running ability. In Everett's offense, there aren't many complex route combinations, which means that Woy usually either runs downfield to catch a lob or he runs a slant-type route. What if he can't run a post corner or a 15 yard comeback?"

(highlight of Woy yelling at an official)

"Finally, the last weakness in this young man is his attitude - the one thing that coaches hate to hear. He was suspended for the season finale last year for fighting with a teammate, and likes to talk trash out on the field. Some Everett fans say he's selfish, but his teammates say he's a hard worker and team player."

(picture of Woy shows up on the screen)

"So the big question is this. Will Woy be catching either touchdowns or controversy at a college near you? We'll take a commerical break and be back with an interview by Florida back Trent Richardson."

 

[goDawgs1433]

I like the way you did that update, almost like a TV segment.

 

[Woy]

I like the way you did that update, almost like a TV segment.

Thanks Foster, that's exactly what I was going for.

I have the next update ready, but I'll wait till after work to post it.

 

[Woy]

catching touchdowns or controversy?

lol, nice update. Not long before he becomes a 5-star prospect (probably in the State Playoffs... if you make them )

Good stuff

You found the title! :tongue: And maybe I'll become a 5-star prospect before States.

For some reason, I'm pretty sure you'll like the next three updates.

 

[G-men]

You better get shot or something cool. Nice update, post the other one NOW

:rofl:

Boiling Over

After our huge win over Bellwood, we took on county rival Northern Bedford. It was pouring down rain in our home opener and we had to move the ball on the ground most of the game. I got some nice stats: 7 catches, 93 yards - but the real star of this game was junior tailback Zach Millin. That fast little son of a bitch rushed for 189 yards and three scores in our 35-14 win over the Black Panthers. We were 3-0 and riding high...

...but so were our hated rivals 45 minutes north of us, Tussey Mountain. They were also sporting an undefeated record, and they were ready for the game Friday night. Schools that can't stand each other, undefeated records on the line; this had the makings of a good one. However, some of the Tussey players got my blood boiling before Friday began.

"Woy is so overrated. All-State? Yeah right, he won't touch the ball with me covering him."

Words from Tussey's star cornerback Cody Swope made me laugh.

"That team is a joke. You remember how bad we beat them last year? Oh I'm sorry, was it 35-7? Yeah that's right. Plus we're better this year, so it should be much worse."

Their starting quarterback Logan Melius almost had me in tears when I heard his comments. They're better? You lost your all-state runningback Jordan Donaldson! And oh yeah, we're better too.

The comments continued to pile up from their entire team, as I wrote them all down on a piece a paper. I left my truck at the school after practice Thursday and stayed at Melyssa's for the night. Before I rode with her in the morning, I read the preview on the official District 5 website.

"Mark it down - Tussey is a better team than Everett. Sure they lost star runningback Jordan Donaldson, but this team is better overall than last year's squad. Everett's better too, but not as good as the Titans. Tussey wins in front of a loud home crowd, 28-21."

Guess who wrote that? None other than Chris Leonard, the same guy who tried to piss me off at media day.

When I got to the school, I saw a group of students crowded around my truck.

"Yo, what's going on?"

"Oh shit, he's here."

"Dude, I have no clue who did this."

"Did wha...what the fuck!?"

Fuck your overrated ass Woy. #15's going home on a stretcher Friday night. - Cody Swope

That was written down the left side of my truck in white spray-paint. On the other side was "Everett sucks, Tussey rocks," and other shit like that. Damn, did that get my blood boiling. I walked into Mrs. Dodson's room for first period.

"Ethan, did you see what someone did with your truck?"

"Does it look like I fucking saw that?"

Then Mrs. Dodson walked into the room a few minutes before the bell was supposed to ring.

"Hey Mrs. Dodson?"

"Yeah, Mr. Woy? What happened to your truck?"

"I'm not sure. Are we doing anything in class today?"

"You want to wash your truck off, huh?"

Damn, she knew me too well.

"Is that alright?"

"You're marked as here Ethan, go ahead."

I thanked Mrs. Dodson and went out to get into my truck. I made it to the closest car wash in town and got all the paint off of it. Then I struck an idea to get those cowards back.

"Yes, Tussey Mountain offices? This is Alex Donaldson, the athletic director. Can I be put on the loudspeaker?"

"Why certainly Mr. Donaldson, one moment please."

I was put on hold for a few seconds then I heard students talking. Now's the time.

"Attention. Who ever fucked with my truck is in for a long night tonight! Oh wait, let me rephase that statement...your entire community is in for a long night! Cody Swope, you're going to be balling like a little bitch after I'm done with you. Logan Melius, you're the joke - just wait and see. And Aden Leonard, tell your brother that I can't wait to see him on the sidelines and shove the game ball in his face. Get ready for an ol' fashioned asswhipping Tussey. It's fucking on."

Cody was sitting in class talking to Logan when he heard what I announced over the loudspeaker.

"Oh shit, he found out who it was."

It's going to be a war tonight.

 

[Shwayzed]

Fuck your overrated ass Woy. #15's going home on a stretcher Friday night. - Cody Swope

"Oh shit, he found out who it was."

Uh.. it says who said it on the truck.

 

[Woy]

Uh.. it says who said it on the truck.

Very true. They aren't the brightest crayons in the box at Tussey.

 

[goDawgs1433]

Very true. They aren't the brightest crayons in the box at Tussey.

Tussey: :stone:

Nice update Ethan.
