2015 Jackson Pines Blue Jays (HS Junior)

Posted on June 26, 2014 at 11:26 PM.

I was catching a ride back from my dads house on the A line train from Port Boyerton to Jackson Pines. It was getting close to football season so I had my small transistor radio that I take fishing with me in my pocket. The ride on the 7 PM train was a long 20 minute ride, due to the lack of scenery or any interesting attractions along the elevated train tracks and as I was nearly the only person on the train, I didnt have much interest in conversing with the other passengers. I popped in my headphones as a young man in a blue and red letterman jacket glanced over at me for a moment, he was clearly a player for the Port Boyerton North Bombers, but I pretended like I didnt see him. I popped my ear phones in to listen to the radio, channel 106.1, The Blue Jay Network to listen to what they had to say about the upcoming season.
"This is Jake the Jay here in Studio A of the Jackson Pines Radio Tower. I know a lot of you Jays fans are singing the blues after last seasons collapse of our blue jays, but this season may be different. We got a chance to speak with coach Thompson earlier this week, and he told us he "is confident in his returning starters and the new players he has coming into the program. He went on to say that his Junior Running back, Jack Boyer has got to step into his role as a leader this year, and take control of this team." I think Boyer better be ready for a challenge, because last years starting QB is riding the pine, and he was sat down by a freshman! This Blue Jays team could be riding high or sitting low at the seasons end, I guess time will tell"
I glanced out the window and saw the familiar pine tree forest and radio tower that was broadcasting the station I was listening to. It was about time to hop off the train. I pulled out my ear buds and stood up as the train arrived in the station. As I walked off the train, the kid in the Letterman jacket said: "Hey, Blue Jays, huh?" as he pointed to my shirt. I looked down and realized I was wearing my Jackson Pines Lift-A-Thon shirt. "Good luck, buddy, you are our conference doubleheader this year(meaning we played them 2 times this season). You looked solid last year, so hopefully it will be a good game." I looked at him and said "It will be better than you could imagine". Since Jackson Pines is the end of the A Line, he walked with me down a block to the main intersection in Jackson Pines just outside the radio tower. We shook hands and i asked him his name, "Andrew Attinger" he said. "I am a Junior Strong Safety, I'll be looking forward to playing you this season, Jack." He headed up the hill, right past our stadium. He dosent know I'm planning on ruining his teams chances of making the playoffs this year.

The news report on the television said we are projected to go 4 -4 and miss the playoffs, but I promised myself I wouldnt let that happen again. Here we are, 5 days away from the first game of the season, I am in the best shape of my life and I am ready to make JAckson Pines history.
