Catching Controversy | The Legend of Ethan Woy

U10903-1248135284.png


Suspended?

The locker room went from total commotion to so quiet you could hear a pin drop. My heart sunk into my stomach whenever coach yelled my name. I was stared down by my teammates, especially the seniors while walking into Coach's office. As I felt a lump in my throat, I nervously sat down on the other side of Coach's desk. He got up and slammed the door.

"What the hell do you think you were doing boy!? I expect you to be a leader of this team and what do you do? You start a fight with the biggest boy on our team!"

"I didn't start anything Coach! He started calling me out, saying I don't care about the team and such. Those seniors are the ones that don't care. They don't mind when we lose and actually find it enjoyable."

"Listen Ethan. What do you did was wrong; you could have held your anger in. Plus the Bedford Gazette caught the entire fight. What am I going to say to them? That I can't control my team? Bullshit. You're suspended for the finale."

"What!? Coach, no offense, but if I'm not playing, we aren't winning."

"Maybe we will. We'll find out."

"Coach.."

"My decision is final! You aren't playing next week. Good luck during basketball season."

I walked out of his office with my head hung low. Not looking at any of my teammates, I grabbed my stuff and walked out. I felt like I let the coaching staff down, the team down, and the community down - even though I'd only be suspended for the final game of the season. I have all of basketball season and next year to prove that I do care about my team and am not a selfish player. Hopefully once word gets out that I'm suspended, the community will embrace me with open arms when I'm back and forgive me...

Thanks for checking in Melo. No more Melo_Billups huh? :tongue: And nice avatar, Lawson = beast. May be the UNC homer coming out in me, but I believe he's going to be the next Chris Paul in a few years.

I've been in a writing mood lately, so maybe another update today before I go to work.

Not The Reception I Was Looking For

Sure enough, a few days later in the Gazette, there was an article on me being suspended for the season finale. Usually stuff like that are kept hush-hush, but with the media just coming into the locker room when we were fighting, the story got out. The next day at school when I pulled up to my parking spot, I noticed something spray painted on the blacktop.

Transfer your bitch ass out of Everett. You're nothing special and we'd be much better without you.

Warm welcome back, huh? Walking into school was just as bad. I could feel everyone's stares burning a hole in my back while I was walking down the hall. And it was like this for weeks, the constant stares and gossip about me. Eventually it subsided...sorta.

"And now starting at forward, junior number 15, Ethan Woy!"

I ran out to a mixture of cheers and boos from my home crowd. Don't they remember last year at this time I won the opening game of the season with a buzzer-beater?

"You're selfish Woy! Get out of here!"

Obviously not. After an opening game loss, we continued our mediocrity and ended up going 12-12. The worst part was the play-in game for district playoffs. Despite our .500 record, we were slated to play against another county rival in the play-in game, and it was absolutely awful. I couldn't shoot, had the opposing players hitting everything in my face, and to top it off, the fans still didn't forget about the suspension and started booing me more than ever in the closing seconds.

Even though I was named All-ICC in football, basketball and track, and had some small FBS schools recruiting me, I still didn't feel wanted anymore. I didn't make any plans to transfer somewhere else - I made it a goal of mine to win the community back and have fans chanting my name again for the right reasons. But before that, I had summer to relax and forget all about the heckling...

that same thing happened to me before. a kid in the gym locker room tried to be tough and put me in a headlock and i threw him off me and into the lockers. i told them it was just self defense (which it was) but i still got detention for it. shit was gay.

Impressing The Scouts

Two weeks after the last day of school, I went with some teammates to State College for their open football camp. At least that awful senior class is out of here and now it's oh-nine's time to shine. We have great work ethic and plus tons of talent, so I expect at least a district title.

"Welcome fellas, to Senior Football Camp at Penn State. You all chose to come here to either get better or to get noticed by scouts. And by the end of the next two days, you will be a better player and a better individual. Now go with your position coaches gentlemen, we have a lot of work to do."

"Receivers, over here!"

Coach Mike McQueary called all the senior receivers over to the track where there were five scouts with stopwatches. I figured they were going to time us in the 40, something I am definitely not strong in.

"We're going to start you guys off with a 40 yard dash. First up, Anderson."

I waited in line nervously as guys before me were running in between the 4.4 to 4.6 range. I've never been the fastest kid, but I always make up for it with my hands and jumping ability. If I could somehow squeeze out a 4.8, then the rest of my game can put me in the position to have scholarship offers on my table next week.

"Woy! You're up."

Sweat started dripping from my forehead to the track below me. I took my time getting into a stance and waited for the gun...

*BANG!*

One...two...three...four...

*CLICK!*

I stood up and caught my breath. As I looked over to the other drills, one of the Penn State scouts started walking my way. I was waiting for bad news, when...

"You ran a 4.51."

"What? There's no way I ran that."

"You're right, it was technically a 4.507, but we had to round it up."

Holy shit, I just posted my best 40 time of my life. Track really must have paid off. Next we got to the JUGS machine, something I was looking forward to.

"Woy, you're up!"

This time I walked up to the line with a swagger to my step. Confidently, I looked up and waited for the first football.

The first bunch of throws weren't hard to get to and I caught every one. The final four throws were a bitch though and really made me work. The first one was sent high and I used my entire 6'3" frame to go up and get it. The next one was completely the opposite. It was close to touching the ground when I went down to scoop it up. Slowly getting up, I saw another football rocketing towards the left side of me. I sprung out of my stance and brought the ball to my chest. Finally, the last ball was shot out to the right side of me. I got a little cocky and threw my hand out to reel it in. Flicking it into the air, I yelled...

"Throw it to the left, throw it to the right, doesn't matter cause Ethan's going to catch the football all damn night!"

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

"Hi, may I take your order?"

A few days after camp, I was working as a waiter at Gateway - a restaurant a few miles away from my house. The mysterious guy pulled down the menu from over his face and said...

"Yes, can I find an Ethan Woy around here?"

"Oh my God, you're..."

Did I mention that I hate cliffhangers? Lol woy this looks nice, I am following. You change your profile name to just Woy?
Click to expand...

I love cliffhangers - wants the reader wanting more. :D And yeah I asked Rush to do that about an hour ago. There's really no use for the numbers anymore, lol. 15 has been my number for every sport and 09 was the year I graduated high school.

Maybe if I make Robert Morris's basketball team and they give me a jersey number like 24, I'll be woy2413. :tongue:
