      Jim Nasium Is a Football Fumbler - Marty McKnight

      Cover

      Chapter One

      FRESH START

      I sat inside the school locker room with a dozen other boys. I nervously chewed at my fingernails and then stopped. Do star quarterbacks trim their nails before a big game? I wondered. Better not chance it.

      It was the first day of football, and this was going to be my season.

      Coach Pittman entered the room. He placed a large cardboard box on a bench and quickly stepped back. Everyone rushed over to take a look.

      I pushed through the crowd and saw that the box was filled with brand-new football jerseys. They were black with shiny gold numbers.

      Take your seats, the coach shouted. Don’t be animals!

      But we are animals, Coach, said my best friend, Milo. We’re the Bennett Elementary Buffaloes! Milo placed two fingers near his head like horns. He bent down and charged at me with a loud SNORT!

      All right, all right, Coach interrupted. Save it for the field.

      Everyone quickly took their seats.

      When I call your name, step up and grab a jersey. Coach Pittman pulled out a clipboard and a pen. Bobby Studwell, he said, checking off the first name on his list.

      Milo and I leaned in to each other and groaned. Of course he’d get to go first, I thought. He’s picked first for EVERYTHING!

      Bobby strutted toward the box. He sifted through the jerseys and then proudly held up his pick. A perfect ten, as always, he boasted.

      Milo and I groaned louder.
