Chapter 861 Team Loyalty
The community school became lively early in the morning. Students of all sizes in the dormitory building yawned and rushed to the school cafeteria one after another.
A large number of lower grade students noticed that the atmosphere was a bit abnormal as soon as they walked to the door of the cafeteria. This time has always been the busiest time in the cafeteria, but today it seems to be particularly quiet.
A group of dumbfounded boys poked their heads towards the entrance of the cafeteria, only to see their principal Alvin beating up several key players of the football team.
The school's most famous running back, "Lightning" William, squatted on the ground holding his head and kept screaming in pain.
The team's other two main players, "Roadhog" and "Landlord," lowered their heads and didn't dare to say a word.
Alvin left for school early the next morning. Nick's surgery had just ended and he needed to be observed by Dr. Ed for a period of time. Frank insisted on staying with him, so Alvin took the initiative to take over the job of director of the correctional department.
As a result, as soon as Alvin arrived at school, he saw several boys from the team jumping from the second floor of the teaching building, which frightened him.
So these guys were out of luck...
The team's head coach Bill rushed over from the teaching building. He had just arrived at the school, and something like this happened.
Passing a form in his hand to Alvin, Coach Bill touched his bald head, looked at Alvin and said helplessly: "Principal Alvin, they are here to do this..."
Alvin reached out to stop Bill, picked up the form in his hand and took a look and found that it was actually a transcript.
After looking at it carefully, Alvin laughed angrily at these stupid boys.
Alvin shook his head and laughed, took the report card, slapped the head of the 2-meter-high roadblock a few times, and cursed: "You fucking think we are all fools, don't you?
Have you already begun to use your brains to get on stage? "
As he spoke, Alvin shook the form in his hand vigorously and cursed loudly: "You guys are really fucking talented, C- plus one stroke becomes C+.
But can you fucking find a red pen and change it?
Can't you tell if E is changed to B? "
The fierce-looking "landlord" lowered his head and grimaced, and said sadly: "We use red pens..."
Before the "landlord" could finish his words, Alvin slapped him on the head, and then cursed: "Not popular enough, what's wrong?
Will you die if you do a good job in class? Is it difficult to pass the exam? "
The "landlord" was a big man over 2 meters tall and looked to be in his 40s. He was crying and complaining in a low voice: "It's too difficult, principal, it's really too difficult!
Several of our guys couldn't pass the math test. The day after tomorrow is the New York High School Football Finals. We lost last year..."
Alvin grabbed the "landlord" by the neck angrily and cursed loudly: "Then you go and change your fucking grades. Who do you think you can hide?"
Seeing Alvin jump in anger, Coach Bill leaned over and pushed the "landlord" to avoid the range of Alvin's roaring firepower. Then he carefully pointed at the report card and whispered: "These boys have changed." It’s not your own achievements…”
Alvin angrily picked up the transcript and took a look at it. The modified grades on it were indeed not those of the three of them.
The "Lightning" William who dared to push Ethan Hunter up the wall came over to Alvin in frustration and said: "I'm sorry, principal, the game the day after tomorrow is very important to Jamal and the others. I don't have to play but they..."
Alvin looked at William who had a low eyebrow and frowned and said, "What the hell is going on?"
William glanced at his accomplices "Landlord" and "Roadhog", and then whispered: "There will be a lot of college scouts in the game the day after tomorrow. Jamal and the others need a chance to play..."
After listening to William's words, Coach Bill kicked a few of the boys furiously, then looked at Alvin and said: "Jamal and the others are all good boys, but they don't have many opportunities to play.
There was interest from colleges, but their playing time wasn't enough for discerning scouts to make up their minds. "
After hearing this, Alvin looked at Coach Bill tentatively and said, "You mean the scholarship?"
Coach Bill nodded, then shook his head and said: "It's not just a matter of scholarship, but also whether you can go to a good university.
Jamal and the others can't get into a good university with their grades. I don't know if they can play well in those community college teams after joining them.
A good final is important for those kids' futures, and that's enough to make those picky bastards make up their minds. "
Alvin looked at the few muscular guys in front of him with low eyebrows, and said with a bit of laughter and tears: "So you secretly change your grades? Is it fair to those who work harder to let these guys play? Why do you think that They don’t need a chance?”
The team's main end "Road Fighter", who had been silent, looked up at Alvin, forced a simple smile, and said: "We can reduce the playing time, I have received an invitation from the university, Alaba The head coach of the University of Alabama promised that the University of Alabama would provide a full scholarship as long as I was willing to choose them.
The 'landlord' has received invitations from 6 universities. As long as he nods, he can go to any of these 6 universities.
'William' will only be in grade 12 next year, so we..."
Alvin looked dumbfounded at the loyal loyalists in front of him. He shook his head helplessly and said, "Last year's finals saw us lose the championship because Zach didn't play. You don't want this year's championship either?"
William looked up at Alvin and said with a fierce expression: "Jamal and the others will make those little boys wet their pants on the court."
Alvin slapped William on the back of the head and cursed: "Did I let you speak? Go to the solitary room..."
As he spoke, Alvin waved his hands to the "Landlord" and "Roadhog" and said, "Go to the solitary room..."
The "landlord" who looked like an old man agreed "Hey, hey, hey" while looking at Alvin and said: "Then this, then this..."
Alvin angrily kicked the "landlord" on the calf and cursed: "Get out of here, or I will beat you!"
After speaking, Alvin stood up straight and glanced at the surrounding students. He waved his hand and shouted: "Go and eat. I will take over Frank's job for the next month. You all should be careful..."
Listening to the wailing in unison from all around, and the bold boos, Alvin smiled with satisfaction and said to Coach Bill next to him: "It seems that I am still a bit intimidating. Compared with Frank, I Not bad at all!”
Looking at the backs of several team boys who left dejectedly, Coach Bill nodded nonchalantly and agreed with Alvin's statement. Then he hesitated and said, "Principal Alvin, those kids..."
Alvin waved his hand to interrupt Coach Bill, and said with a smile: "Are you worried that I will punish William and the others?"
Coach Bill shook his head and said: "No, I think we should really give Jamal and the others a few chances.
I can testify that those children did work hard enough, but our school’s own internal test was indeed a bit too difficult! "
Alvin smiled and shook his head after hearing this, patted Coach Bill's arm and motioned for him to go have some breakfast with him.
The two took a simple breakfast and found a table to sit down.
Alvin smiled and bared his teeth fiercely at a black boy who was eavesdropping with squinting eyes and ears, scaring him so much that he fell off his seat.
Looking at the black boy running away in embarrassment, Alvin smiled with satisfaction, and then said to Coach Bill: "Do you think there is something wrong with the team system I set? Will it really make talented children lose opportunities?"
Coach Bill was stunned for a moment, and then said nervously: "No problem, no problem, it's just that Jamal and the others are really a pity.
Their foundation is so bad that even if they work hard, they can't keep up with the school's teaching progress.
So I think……
Of course, there is absolutely nothing wrong with the team's system. Not every one of those children can go to college with football. The mandatory exam can at least allow most of them to go to college. "
Alvin smiled, picked up a carton of milk and drank it, then shook his head and said with a smile: "Brother, you are the head coach of the team, technically Steve is your assistant coach.
You should have the final say on the team.
You told me what I thought when I made the rules, but how you implement them in the end is up to you.
They didn't sneak into my office to change my grades. "
Coach Bill rubbed his head in distress, looked at Alvin and said with a wry smile: "Those are the rules you set, I..."
Alvin looked at the cowardly Coach Bill in front of him with a headache. The blow of divorce had already completely smoothed away his edges and sharpness, but for the current community school, he is the best head coach because He did everything Steve couldn't do.
Facing Bill like this, Alvin shook his head helplessly and said: "The ultimate goal of this school is to send these children to college, and all our efforts must serve this goal.
Since those children have a chance to have a better future, why should I object?
Look, man, I don't know anything about football. All I know is that the guy in the middle catching the ball and passing the ball is the quarterback.
Don't feel like you're offending me by breaking my rules, you should have told me earlier instead of waiting until now.
I have always felt that under the pressure of community schools, it is not a problem for those boys to pass. Who knows..."
Coach Bill lowered his head and said helplessly: "Those are the children sent back from the juvenile prison last year, and they came with William.
The foundation of these children is really poor, and we must be fair to those children who work hard.
But they were so good that Steve and I both thought they would have a chance to make a living doing this in the future. "
Alvin smiled, waved his hand, and said, "I set the rules, but you are the one who makes the final decision.
Man, you are the best coach I have ever seen. We all know how much energy you put into those kids. Don't let my layman's rules set those kids back. "
Bill smiled bitterly and touched his bald head, and said: "I have no choice, we can't even get the number of players to play without giving them extra lessons.
I know what to do, but what about William and the other three? "
Alvin sneered and said, "It's up to you, but in the next month, the school's toilets will be contracted by them."
As he spoke, Alvin raised the report card in his hand and said with a sneer: "It is our responsibility to teach them to be so stupid. We have an obligation to let them learn smarter!"
