Situation Imagination

It all comes down to this; the game, the season, and the national championship title ride on this last play. Only three seconds remain on the clock. Down by six points, nothing short of a touchdown will do. Benji Edds has had a spectacular game, connecting often to his favorite receiver and brother Trey Edds, who is making his own MVP bid by running after catches for three touchdowns. Can the brothers do it just one more time? Can they pull off one more miracle play? These twins probable started playing ball together in their living room as babies. They have probably tossed balls back and forth to each other a million times since then, but this one’s for all the money. Edds takes the snap, finds the pocket and eyes his receiver. “Go long Trey,” he whispers, “I’ll get it there.”
