Chapter Twelve

April eleventh finally arrived. It was the first game of the season. Ronda was pumped. She was so ready for this. She could smell in the air that it was football season. And their season opener was at home. Always a plus. There was a buzz in the air as she waited in the tunnel. They played at a local community college stadium and it was packed. There was magic in the air, and Ronda was ready to kick some ass.

Finally, the loudspeaker called out, “Ladies and gentlemen, your Houston Stars!”

Ronda led the team from the tunnel onto the field as the fans erupted. It was a heady feeling. One Ronda thought she’d never get used to. Ronda joined two other players in the center of the field for the coin toss. She called heads. It was heads. The Stars elected to kick off first.

With the ceremony over, the teams took the field for the opening kickoff. Ronda stood on the sidelines, chomping at the bit to get in there and play. The kick pinned their opponents on their own ten-yard line. It was time for the defense to do their thing. Ronda ran out onto the field, confident she’d be able to help her team. There were no butterflies or nerves. There was only excitement. She was ready for this moment.

The first play was a pass. Ronda watched the ball sail from the quarterback. She timed her jump perfectly and caught the pass just before the receiver did. She then cut through the offense until she made it to the end zone. Touchdown! What a way to start the game.

The crowd was going wild. Ronda could barely hear her teammates congratulating her. She ran off the field with the ball still in her grasp. She gave it to the equipment manager who knew to keep it for her. Her first pick of this season. And it had been an easy one.

Coach Hindley was at her side.

“What in the hell were they thinking, throwing to you right off the bat? Talk about overconfidence on their part.”

“They were testing me,” Ronda said. “Fail!”

“Well, good job, Meyers.”

“Thank you.”

Ronda ran back onto the field and took her position. The defense held them to three and out. There were two pass attempts and neither were thrown on Ronda’s side of the field.

The offense was on the field and Ronda paced back and forth on the sidelines, stopping occasionally to praise one of her defensive teammates on a good job the previous series of downs.

The game went on in the Stars’ favor. Their opponents never got their footing. The score was forty-two to seven going into the fourth quarter. The second-stringers were all in the game. Ronda was relaxing on the bench. She turned around and faced the stands. She easily picked Gayla out of the crowd. She was gorgeous in black slacks and a red shirt. The colors of the Stars.

Ronda headed across the field to shake hands with the other team when the game was over.
