Chapter 22 Summary

Tate surprisingly appears behind Troy at the compound, and together they approach Seth’s house, where he is watching the game with three other players. Tate convinces Seth to give Troy another chance. Seth agrees, but only if he can do it under the pressure of performing in front of Seth’s teammates.

Chapter 23 Summary

Seth quickly calls the security service to check in and put more pressure on Troy. Almost immediately, however, Troy begins predicting plays. Seth and the other players are stunned and embrace Troy’s ability.

Chapter 24 Summary

Seth drives Tate and Troy home. Afterward, Seth and Troy briefly talk about Troy’s family life and Troy’s father leaving him. Troy asks Seth to drop him off at the top of the dusty lane so that Troy’s mom will not find out that he left the house. Seth instead drives him to the house and makes Troy tell his mom the truth about what happened.

They all discuss how Seth can bring Troy to meet the head coach, Coach McFadden. Tessa is worried about the conflict with Coach Krock and that McFadden and Krock might eventually end up competing for the head coaching position if the Falcons don’t do well.
