Following, but you probably already knew I would.

Looking good as always, Deviant.

 

[BrntO4Life]

Very cool idea. Excited to see where this goes.

 

[Deviant]

Thanks everyone. Updates to equipment are made and I have highlights for all schools.

However, I am on vacation until Friday, so I'll post all updates then.

Scottie Slaughter is still better than Brian Shwayzed.

Coach Oyster Chilli
Chapter II - Blessing The Fields

Friday, August 5, 2011
Oyster H. Chilli Field - Sierra Vista, AZ
= = = = = = = = = =

"Man, I miss it here." Oyster Chilli said, standing at the sideline of Sierra Vista's Green vs White practice.

It's a gorgeous day in Sierra Vista; the sun sitting right in front of the offense over the high school building. New head coach Robert Krumm stands next to Oyster Chilli watching the players on the field.

"Hu-hiii! Go!"

Brian Shwayze drops back for the green team and stands tall in the pocket. He gives a quick pump fake and steps up, evading a rusher. He steps in and whips a dart to Scott Stanley for a quick 12 yard gain.

"I've really loved his work during the off-season." Coach Krumm whispers over to Chilli. "His footwork is impressive for someone who's not very quick."

"Think he's ready?" Chilli replied.

"Definitely. He's been the hardest working guy on the field. He wants the job and I can't argue against it. He's been earning it."

The two continue to watch on the team as Shwayze calls the next play.

Chilli can only laugh as he sees the result of the play and leans into Krumm, who looks on with a huge smile.

"Still sure he's ready?" Chilli says laughing.

"Wasn't pretty," Krumm replies, "but got it done. Good thing DeHaas was on offense for this series."

"Hey, listen." Chilli responds. "This is your team now. You make the calls around here, regardless of what anyone has to say. That's why you've been trusted with this position. If that's your guy, that's your guy."

Krumm looks eye-to-eye at Chilli and nods in respect. After the scored touchdown, Krumm calls his entire team in.

 

[Shwayzed]

I'm cute.

Shwayzed's cute.

 

But not as cute as Scottie Slaughter. :fister:

Coach Mike Santiago
Chapter II - Where Pride Starts

= = = = = = = = = =
Friday, September 2, 2011
University of Southern Mississippi Locker Room - 7 AM
= = = = = = = = = =

"Men, thank you for coming in bright and early." Defensive Coach Santiago said standing in front of his defensive roster.

Behind Santiago is a bright yellow wall with the words, "The Rock" painted on the wall and two white sheets covering the wall to it's right and left. Santiago stands alone in a yellow Southern Miss polo and white pants as his players look on attentively and silently.

"This whole summer, we've worked in our new schemes and practiced discipline on defense. And we are just more than 24 hours away from kick off and I'm excited to see every last one of you on the field kicking Louisiana Tech's ass on Saturday. But, we're missing one key piece on defense.

That's pride, gentlemen. Pride doesn't allow 4,500+ yards on defense. Pride doesn't allow 384 points on offense. 72nd in the NCAA on defense. Last year, that's what the defense unit allowed. That's unacceptable and I won't accept that on defense."

Santiago unveils the first sheet which reveals a framed yellow Southern Miss jersey and yellow pants. The frame has the words "Yellow Jackets" engraved at the bottom. Below that are tear off numbers that are set at 3500.

"Southern Miss used to be known as the Yellow Jackets. When this defense holds the offense to under 200 yards, you earn the right to wear the Yellow Jacket uniform. Underneath is our goal for total yardage this year. I want an elite defense this year and I want you to take pride in destroying the offense and getting your yardage back. You are the starting pitcher and that's the ERA you want. Our offense finished in the Top 20 last year. You do your job and they'll take care of the rest."

Santiago unveils the second sheet which reveals a framed black Southern Miss jersey and black pants. The frame has the words "Lights Out" engraved at the bottom. Below that are tear off numbers that are set at 300.

"And if we want to win the C-USA title this year, we can't allow offenses to score. We can't give up 30 points a game again. Do whatever it takes to keep them out of your endzone and prevent them from putting points on the board. That's Lights Out defense. If you keep that doughnut on the board, you have earned the right to wear the Lights Out uniform.

We're going to let the nation know who we are when they come into our house and we're going to wear our achievements on our sleeves. First game against LA Tech, we're going to be the Yellow Jackets on the field. From then on, you have to earn the right to wear it.

Are you up to the task men?!"

Arcadia City Fields - 5 PM

"You better believe I'm ready for this shit!" Mike Bradberry yells as Agua Fria prepares to run out. "Oh yeah, we ready! We're already standing over them coming out in all red on their turf, let's take EVERYTHING from them. DEFENSE, LET'S TAKE OVER FROM THE FIRST PLAY! GIVE THEM NOTHING! LET'S GO!"

As Bradberry darts out, a sea of all red jerseys floods onto the field. Despite being in Arcadia, fans roar in appreciation for Agua Fria. Coach Santiago watches his former squad from the visitor section and applauds them.

"And the greatest day in all of Arizona has begun. High school football is back and we're kicking it off today with the best with the most talented team in the state. And, appropriately with Coach Santiago visiting the game today, everything begins on defense for Agua Fria.

This year, Agua Fria's talent comes mostly from their sophomores as they'll now be relying on Bradberry to be the enforcer on the defensive side. Converted from linebacker, Bradberry will look to be not only an intimidating rusher and hitter over the middle, he'll be playing coverage and stopping anything that comes near him.

And speaking of coverage, the phenom Sophomore cornerback Marquis Jackson will be sure to stop anything that comes nears him. They call him 21 Blackjack for a reason, because when you throw that ball anywhere near him, you're gambling.

On offense, the Aces will rely on the speed and power of running back Tye Flynn, who won the starting position last week and see what he has in store for Arcadia today and if the Aces can rely completely upon him to eliminate their offensive troubles.

But, their number one threat on offense is wide receiver Maverick Levine. In just his freshman year, he was the #2 receiver for Agua Fria and is projected to be the #1 receiver in the nation for his Sophomore class. We'll see how he can use his length and athleticism to carry a rather weak offense from last year."

"First play from scrimmage and it's first and ten, on the Arcadia 12. Edwards drops back. He's feeling the pressure. Throws its up towards the sideline and it's... picked off! Mike Bradberry leaps out of the sky and he's gonna' take this one back! Touchdown Agua Fria!"

Mike Bradberry stands and looks out at the crowd as his teammates celebrate with him.

"Get that weak shit outta' here!" Bradberry screams as he spikes the ball in to the ground.

"Second quarter, it's second and eight. Arcadia is knocking on the door as their in opposing territory. Edwards drops and wants the quick slant and that's too easy. Intercepted by Marquis Jackson and I don't know how he missed that bright red jersey. I mean, there was not a moment in which the receiver had a shot at that ball."

Mike Bradberry helps Jackson off the ground and slaps him on the helmet along with the rest of his teammates. Jackson struts off the field with the ball in his hand and looks over at Arcadia's Colin Edwards.

"Yo, 7!" Jackson yelled. "Better not throw that ball my way again."

"And Brandon Penn is going to unload looking for Levine, one-on-one. It's... oh, what a catch by Levine! Touchdown Agua Fria and we're up 14-0 on a remarkable grab by Maverick Levine!"

Levine rolls after the catch and pops back up. He crosses and whips out his arms like Wolverine and lets out a huge roar. Tye Flynn and Brandon Penn rush over and jump on him and rush back over to the riled up and hyped Agua Fria sideline.

Coach Santiago can only laugh as he watches from the crowd. "That's my crew."

Sierra Vista and Agua Fria Ready For Showdown Next Week; Crushes Phoenix and Arcadia

Free Safety Mike Bradberry celebrates Marquis Jackson's interception as Agua Fria holds Arcadia to 141 total yards in a 28-7 win.
​

PHOENIX, AZ -- It's sure to be a showdown next week in Sierra Vista as Agua Fria and Sierra Vista came away with two very convincing victories.

Agua Fria does it the way they always have: on defense. Despite giving up 111 rushing yards, the Agua Fria defense only allowed 5 total first downs and 30 passing yards as they were lead by Marquis Jackson and Mike Bradberry, both whom came away with interceptions. The defense also finished the game with six sacks.

While Agua Fria didn't air it out, they did put the game on the back of junior runningback Tye Flynn, who torched the defense for 193 yards and 2 TDs on 21 carries.

This game was the first game since Mike Santiago left the school to become the defensive coordinator for Southern Miss. Santiago was in attendance for the game and cheered on his old team in the visitors' section.

"Proud of those boys." Santiago said. "That's the quality team that I built and they played at the level I would want them to. Hell, I'd even say that defense looks better than any defense I've worked with. They're going to be State Champions again this year."

Brian Shwayze takes a kneel to end the 41-7 schlacking of Phoenix High.​

That defense will have to go against a very explosive Sierra Vista Sonics team who have the marvelous duo of quarterback Brian Shwayze and runningback Brandon Sykes.

Shwayze showed poise and tons of athleticism as he diced up the defense for 300+ total yards (235 passing, 82 rushing) and two passing TDs. There were plays where he stood in the pocket all day and played lots of pitch and catch.

[ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_H9FEqMoIN0[/ame]

The other star, Brandon Sykes, showed a lot of speed and quickness as he ran for 129 yards and 3 TDs. Sykes weaved in-and-out of the defense play after play and got away with everything he wanted. In the second quarter, he took a carrier up the middle and made three quick slippery jukes before dashing through the secondary for his second touchdown of the day.

Arizona High School
Chapter I - Welcome to the Slaughterhouse

Friday, September 2, 2011
Desert Vista High English Classroom - 3 PM
= = = = = = = = = =

"That's a great interpretation of Adams' answer to the world. Forty-two is--"

I just want to leave. It's 3 o'clock and Martineau's getting a hard-on for this book again. I just wanna' go. No practice this Friday. Just the weekend.

Phone vibrates. New text message.

im out. ready 2 have a blast this wknd. pick me up?

"Alright class. For homework this weekend, I expect you all to be at Chapter 20 of the Hitchhiker's Guide. There will be a quiz on Monday. Enjoy your weekend."

I will, now that you're gonna' let me get to it.

Scottie Slaughter is the first of the entire class to get out of his seat. Dressed in an orange t-shirt, baggy jeans, and a throwback Phoenix Suns fitted, he grabs his bag and makes his way out of the classroom. Just as Scottie exits, Kyle Hadley catches up with him. Kyle is dressed in a white athletic Desert Vista shirt and shorts.

"Can't stay focused for one second, huh?" Kyle said.

"Martineau's so boring." Scottie replied. "I don't need to read these books. No point. Think I'm gonna' need to know anything from that book in my life?"

"Well, 42 is the answer to life, the universe, and everything."

"Whatever." Scottie responded, rolling his eyes. "Football season's all I care about here."

"Speaking of, are you going to the gym today?"

"Nah, I'm taking the day off. If we're going to run two-a-days until Agua Fria, I'm chillin' today."

"Sure? Archer's running a Madden tournament at his place afterwards."

"I might meet up for some Madden, but I can't do the gym man. I only care about the game, you know that."

"Alright." Kyle shrugged. "I'll text you later when we start up."

The two part ways. Scottie heads out to the school's parking lot and walks to his car. He gets into his car and pulls off. Scottie drives with the windows down, rap music blasting from his car. He journeys all the way to the front entrance of Phoenix High where there's a loud rally for the school's football game against Sierra Vista.

As he pulls up, he sees a tall, slender, peach-skinned girl standing against the wall of the front of the school staring at her phone. She wears a white bandana that holds back her messy long red hair.

Scottie honks the horn. The girl looks and walks over to the car. As she gets in, she immediately removes her t-shirt and throws her bag in the backseat, leaving only her black sports bra and and straight cut jeans on.

"It's nice when you text back." The girl says.

"I was in class." Scottie replied.

"And when has that ever stopped you?"

Scottie chuckles as starts to pull off. "I came and got you, right?"

"I suppose I can't complain then."

"Not going to Sierra Vista, Miranda?"

Miranda looks out at the bus and scoffs. "Going three hours south just to watch them play football? No thanks."

"What do you have against football?"

"I don't." Miranda replied. "I'll watch you. I just hate watching bad football. There's better things to do."

"Like what we're about to do?"

"Oh, hell yeah."

Scottie drives and parks near the city park. The two of them walk in to the park and go into a closed off, bushy area. They find a grassy, partially open area and lie down, looking up at the bright blue sky.

"I've been waiting for this all week." Scottie said.

"Then let's do this." Miranda replied, with a smile.

Miranda rambles through her bag and pulls out a box. She opens the box that contains rolling paper and about five grams of weed along with other accessories. Scottie's face lights up and they both begin to roll up and smoke.

"Shit's nice." Scottie says after getting a pull. "Where's this from?"

"My cousin from San Diego came over last weekend and gave it to me." Miranda responds. "Fresh from Mexico. It's gonna hit like a bitch in like 15 minutes."

"It's tight." Scottie replied, exhaling the smoke. "Goddamn, I've fucking needed this."

"How long have you been thinking about it?"

"Only think I've thought about. Outside of workouts and gettin' on the field, this is the only thing I've thought of."

"The Agua Fria game stressing you out?"

"It's the first game of the season. But, that's not it. I've got schools looking at me already."

"Are you really surprised?"

"No, but it's a lot of attention." Scottie said, frowning and taking another hit. He then leaned onto Miranda. "Everyone wants me to work out with them and wants to watch me work and I don't care about that shit. I just play. I love the noise, the crowds, and just taking over games. That's what I do."

"It can't be that serious."

"I went in for a camp and Scouts have me rated as the best offensive player in the nation. Oregon, USC, and Florida have contacted me already. Word's getting out."

"And you're alright?"

"I've been better. I just don't care. I love football, I just don't care for this shit."

Miranda shifted herself and straddled on top of Scottie. She placed a finger on his lips and pressed down on his chest with her other hand.

"Relax." Miranda said. "Lay your head back, let the hit take, and relax. Right now, it's just me and you. Nothing else."

Scottie's phone vibrates in his pants. He grabs it and reads the text message.

Madden 12, fresh out the package. Tournament at me house. 8 PM. You in, bro?

Scottie looked back at Miranda, let his arm flop on the grass, and let his phone roll out of his hand.

Mine looks almost completely untouched besides a few trees uprooted & shit.

I've been working on the update, but Irene been a bit of a bitch here (especially having to go to work). I haven't lost power, luckily only just surges. But hey, there's an update.

Also, there's a fourth school that will be featured. So, the three coaches will be the main coaches for college and there will be four main high schools that I'll follow. It's going to get complex, so I'll try to keep it as simple as possible.

Updates coming most likely Friday. Should be updates on all the coaches' first weeks, the remaining prospects, and possibly, some more storylines.

Half way done with updates. Just been working a lot. Monday night should be done.
