Our Reading
The habit gets a new name.
High school football teams always try to control the clock. This one did it with a 35-minute possession. They ran out the clock like it was a marathon. They even recovered two onside kicks. It’s not just a win. It’s a performance.
They didn’t just win. They made the other team watch. They had the ball for most of the game. It’s not luck. It’s strategy. Or maybe just stubbornness.
They didn’t just play football. They played a game of patience. And it worked.
Some call it dominance. Others call it overkill. But the Firebirds called it a win.
