Chapter 255
“Cornett High School had really hit a new low, stooping to such dirty tactics because they couldn’t win fair and square!”
“The kids from Westbrook High were way too honest for their own good, and now it looked like they were in for a major hit. That ref was clearly in Cornett’s pocket. Winning this time? It was looking next to impossible.”
“If I ever see anyone from Cornett High, I swear I’ll deck ‘em every single time!”
In the stands, Cornett High’s students wore faces full of shame. They were just as disgusted with Jack’s antics; winning like this was nothing to be proud of.

Pain shot through Dane, and he crashed to the ground.
Jack easily snagged the ball and, with a sneer at Dane, sank it into the hoop under Dane’s furious glare.
The ref blew the whistle, “End of the second quarter. Ten–minute halftime.”
“Dane,” Alex rushed over to help him up. He wasn’t much better off, his face and body covered
“Jack, you’re a disgrace!” Dane’s eyes blazed with anger.
