his helmet into the air and catching it.
    “Right!” said Lumpy.
    “And you came through for us, Tom,” Vince said, turning to the quarterback and pumping his hand vigorously. “You got us to
     tie up the score! Who would have thought a long bomb would work? But you called for it with such steel in your voice, I didn’t
     even think about it. You’re okay, man!”
    Tom grinned through the sweat that streamed down his face. “Thanks, Vince. But it wasn’t only me who did it.” He glanced over
     at Michael and his grin broadened. “It was all of us.”
    Michael winked.
    Suddenly a girl sprang in front of Tom and threw her arms around him, almost causing him to lose his balance and fall. It
     was Vickie, and Michael smiled. He wasn’t surprised. For a long time she might have been waiting for an opportunity to throw
     her arms around Tom. What better time was there than now?
    “Wasn’t he great?” a voice broke in beside Michael. “You must sure be proud of him, Michael.”
    Michael glanced around at Carol, who was leaning against his wheelchair and resting a hand on it. Her dark eyes glistened
     as they met his, and before he knew it, she threw an arm around his neck and hugged him.
    His heart pumped like crazy as she took her arm away and looked at Tom, a smile beaming on her face.
Wow!
Michael thought.
What a surprise! Whatever made me think she was a creep, anyway?
    Just then Michael saw a familiar figure coming toward them, a wide grin on his face.
    “Nice game, boys,” Ollie Pruitt said.
    “Thanks, Mr. Pruitt,” said Tom, and shook his hand.
    Then Mr. Pruitt’s eyes met Michael’s,and the old man winked. “How do you feel now, Michael?” he asked as they shook hands.
    “Just great, Mr. Pruitt,” Michael answered proudly. “Just great, Thanks to you.”
