Petey Shropshrire is running the bleachers. Bottom to top, down, bottom to top. He started as practice began, and he will finish long after practice ends. His legs will be molten mush. His shenanigans last weekend cost his team the match since Silver Creek led going into it, and no points were awarded for their memorable double pin. Chris and he had agreed before the match that no matter what the score, they would go through with it.

None of that matters. It’s Friday. He has run bleachers every night this week, and his punishment will probably end sometime after his thirty-fifth birthday if Coach has his way, which he usually does. He’s permanent JV now and won’t wrestle another match until Coach thinks he’s learned his lesson about letting down teammates, though to his teammates he’s a bona fide hero. Chris Byers is no longer a wrestler and therefore has more leisure time. In about an hour or so, even if he needs a wheelchair to reach his Dodge Dart, he’s headed to Silver Creek to see a movie with Leopard Lady, the female wrestler of his dreams.
