I instantly start typing with total disregard to the long lecture Brooks gave me one night about response etiquette. It’s definitely Brenna, and the green dot beside her pic tells me she’s online right now. The profile picture for “BrenJen” shows a curtain of dark hair and the hint of a profile. “Okay.” He gives me a weird look and lumbers off. We’re grabbing lunch at the campus café with a few teammates. I rarely use that app, so I’m about to ignore it when I notice the username.Ĭuriosity grabs hold of me. The moment I reach him, my phone buzzes with an Instagram notification. I walk toward the lobby of the arena, where Brooks is waiting for me. “Knew you would be.” He claps me on the shoulder again before stalking off. I noticed Heath dropping some key passes today. “Six thirty, okay? I want you to work with Heath one-on-one.” “I need you to come in earlier tomorrow morning,” Coach Pedersen says. I think next season Briar will be unstoppable with Davenport at the helm. He’s only a sophomore, with a lot of rough edges that require sharpening. Hunter Davenport is almost as fast as I am, but he’s still young. Nate Rhodes is good, but he’s not exceptional. I’m not sure what happened last season, except that ever since Garrett Graham graduated, they’ve had a tough time finding that offensive breakout. I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re doing two-a-days.” Jensen had a shit season last year, and he’ll be clamoring to make his comeback. “But we also can’t fall into the overconfidence trap. “Damn right we do.” His expression turns grim. “You gonna bring that same hustle to the finals?” He knows what I can do.Ĭoach is waiting for me in the hall when I leave the locker room, my hair wet from the shower. Brooks is our main enforcer, but lately Pedersen’s been pushing the other guys to throw more elbows. But in Coach’s playing days, he was a goon, and he promotes the same aggression in his players. Me, I rely on my speed and accuracy rather than brute strength. I can’t deny that Pedersen’s got a more physical style of play than I do. They bitch about the nutrition guides, or Coach’s hard-ass nature. Some guys like to grumble about having to haul themselves out of bed so early.
