It’s the week before homecoming, and the game against Central looms in the air. Head Coach Brandon Gregory receives a call from Connor Gallagher’s mother on the Thursday night before they played the Homecoming game. She had taken Connor, their sophomore starting quarterback, to the Emergency Room due to back problems. Gregory calls Aidan McDaniel, a freshman. Gregory plays a joke on Aidan to see if he is ready for the position, and based on his response, he decides to put Aidan in the position of starting quarterback. Aidan officially takes the position after Gregory talks with the other coaches about it. This is the first time in Gregory’s 13 years of coaching the team has a freshman starting quarterback.
