Decent Essays
The clock is set at eight minutes. Sweat trickles down the uniforms of the anxious freshman. The clock turns to 4 p.m., and the newest Eastern Christian Eagles enter the court. The rumors of the resurrection of the team are true.

After signups took place, Athletic Director and Boys Varsity Coach Bill Schoener noticed there was enough people to support three teams. The large senior class will be able to fill up the majority of the varsity roster, allowing underclassman to be on junior varsity, and the 12 freshman to form a freshman team. Because there are three teams, there will be a decant amount of swing players throughout the program.

The players of Richmond are unpassionate, lazy, vulgar and undisciplined. The Richmond Oilers just finished the season with the worst record in school history and decisions to possible shut down the program were in question.…
