My back was killing me, and I felt incredibly tired, but I still knew how hard it must have been for him to say that. “I appreciate that, Coach. And thanks a lot for coming by to say so.”
He might have said something back to me, but I can’t be sure, because I think I was asleep by then.
ALFIE
When I decided to become a sports reporter, I thought it would just be reporting scores and talking about great games and great players and great plays. I had no idea that everything would be so much harder than that. I had no idea that there was a lot about sports that wasn’t about what happened on the field or on the court. And that a lot of that stuff was bad.
And then Carter fell and got hurt.
Which is when I decided that something has to change.

Alfie Hey everyone, it’s Alfie Jenks. I don’t want to bother anyone, especially since we’re all still in shock about what happened last night. But I didn’t sleep at all, and as I was up thinking about stuff, I remembered this page, and how in the past, everyone would just use it to fool around and make fun of each other and sometimes say stupid or hurtful things. And it seemed harmless at the time but look where that got us. Carter is in the hospital. So I was thinking maybe this time we could change it up and write supportive stuff and actually show some Walthorne Spirit. Sorry to be cheesy but I just think it might help. Let me know what you guys think.

Sadie I was at the game last night and it was amazing because you girls on the court were so awesome, but I gotta say I was a little shocked at the crowd, I know our guys didn’t act great and the north kids too but the adults were the worst—screaming and complaining and acting like it was a matter of life and death, I mean come on!! #rolemodels

I love you all though, even you North people, Carter, I can’t wait to see you back out there soon xx

Chase Hi my name is Chase Crawford. I just want to apologize to Janeece Renfro for saying that she worked at my country club. Obviously, she’s too young to work there. But I’m pretty sure her parents, aunts, and uncles all do.

Janeece Hi Chase, thank you for saying that, because in case anyone had any doubt, it’s now official—you are the biggest jerk in Walthorne. I’m glad you go to private school, and hopefully you’ll stay there next year so none of us have to see you at Walthorne High. Oh, and btw what’s wrong with working at a country club? As long as it’s not YOURS!!

North4Eva Hey this is Eric and I just want to say that I agree with Janeece, Chase you can be funny but right now you are being a complete jerk, and what you yelled at Janeece was so incredibly gross, it actually made me kind of embarrassed to even know you. Also btw she could completely kick your butt and everyone knows it. And everyone else, I’m sorry for all the trash talking and stuff and also I just want to say to Carter Haswell that I hope he gets better soon because he is literally the best basketball player I’ve ever seen.

Janeece Alfie, I know you and I talked about this but I just want to say publicly that i feel so bad for what you had to go through for the last few months, it wasn’t fair at all, we should have believed you all along and I’m sorry, and I think you’re an awesome sports announcer and I can’t wait to see you on espn one day
