for dinner. You hungry?

- Yeah.

- I made you some fried bread.

All right. Get yourself washed up

for dinner.

Set!

Set!

Get in there! Get in there!

Bring it in! Come on, hustle up!

Let's go.

Come on, hustle up!

Bring it in. Good job. Good job.

Good practice, men.

We got a lot to think about this week.

Easley's got a ton of speed.

Defense, containment. We gotta

keep them from getting outside.

Offense, ball control. We'll grind it

out, keep their offense off the field.

Now, there's one other thing.

See the young man over there?

Believe some of you already

know him. He goes by Radio.

He'll be helping us out for a while.

We will not have a problem with that.

No, sir.

Call it up, Danny.

- One, two, three!

- Beat Easley!

- What's he doing?

- That's it. Get your knees up.

Look at him out there.

That one! That one!

That one!

Careful.

Sorry.

I'm sorry, Johnny.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Johnny.

I'm sorry.

You okay.

Hanna!

Hanna!

Hanna!

What the hell is going on out there?

Yellow Jackets still looking to

get on track. Marcum back to pass.

Intercepted!

Don't quit! Don't quit!

Don't quit!

Go! Go!

That was a good one.

I liked that one.

Radio!

Hi, everybody. Hi, everybody.

Hi, everybody.

Quite a show you put on tonight.

Just wondering if you were running

a football program or a social club.

Radio, I need to talk to your mama.

That okay?

She right there.

- Hi, Mama.

- There's a sandwich in there for you.

- I'll be in there directly.

- Okay, Mama.

Ma'am.

I was wondering if we might carry

your son tomorrow on the team bus.

Got us a football game.

What your boys done to my son

was wrong...

...but I don't expect you

to make up for it.

The boys are taking to him real good.

They're still boys, now, ain't they?

I'll keep a good eye on him.

I guess it's all right with me.

I don't mean to pry, ma'am...

...but I was hoping...

...I might be able to ask you

what exactly is wrong with him.

Well, the doctors never could

give me a name for it.

Say he the same as everybody else,

just a little slower than most.

I got a older boy, Walter.

He's fine and all.

And their daddy?

He died a while back.

I'm sorry.

You got your hands full.

Well, they got me working 10 hours

a day at the hospital. Some days more.

So I'm wondering where he's at

half the time...

...and worrying all the time.

Because I figure they only gonna need

one excuse to put him away.

James is a good boy, coach.

He got himself a good heart.

Most folks just don't take the time

to see it, is all.

James.

James Robert Kennedy.

Thank you, ma'am.

No, he is not getting on that bus.

Harold, he is not a student.

You don't even know how old he is.
