or just wanna wear the jersey.

So you gotta step up.

You gotta become real leaders.

You have to motivate your players

to get their game even tighter than ours.

Next year is on you.

Take care, boys.

- Peace, man.

- Yeah.

It's time to deal

with the De La Salle problem.

Last year, De La Salle out-scored

league opponents...

".326 t027.

Their average score

against league teams was 47 to 4.

How, Bob? How are we supposed

to compete against a program...

...that pulls in the best players

with the wave of a scholarship?

For the hundredth time...

...De La Salle High's code of conduct

forbids scholarshipping athletes.

Explain to me why

the best wide receiver in my district...

...rides a bus for a solid hour

up to De La Salle.

Our program attracts great athletes,

plain and simple.

No matter how you get your players,

you're stacking your team with talent.

- That's not cheating?

- Let me get this straight.

You wanna penalize

us for building a winning program?

I'm done with this! Nobody wins 151

football games straight without cheating.

We will not play De La Salle

next season.

Great. Done.

We don't wanna play you either.

We'll play our five league games...

...then we'll fill our open slots with

tougher teams from bigger conferences.

Gee, seems like I heard

the 49ers already have a full schedule.

Who's left?

Long Beach Poly.

Eidson, Poly's the number-one

high-school team in Southern California.

Yeah. Isn't it great?

Poly?

- We talked about this.

- Never said you set it up.

Nationally, we're number one.

They're number two.

They've been trying to get us

on their schedule.

They're not afraid of us.

Guys, can't wait to see you play Poly.

Good luck.

You can thank me later.

In Luke 6:
38...

...Luke says,

"Give and it will be given to you.

Good measure, pressed down,

shaken together and running over...

...will be poured into your lap...

...for with the measure you use,

it will be measured to you."

Any idea what Luke is saying here?

Arturo?

You reap what you sow.

Like, whatever you do, good or bad,

comes back to you.

Anyone else think you give to others...

...and the blessing is returned

in equal measure?

Salinas.

I've worked hard to do the right thing,

and I've been blessed.

- How's that?

- Getting to play on the streak team.

You ain't in line to be starting quarterback

on the streak team...

...because you've done the right thing.

It's because you're 6'2"

with a cannon for an arm.

So, Tayshon, what do you believe?

Well, down where I sleep, the dealers

in Richmond make mad money.

My aunt was an ER nurse.

Worked her whole life helping people.

Time came for her to get hers,

they up and fired her...
