In the second half, the scoring was all on the Otters’ side of the field. Dana assisted Abe with one goal, and Benton came
through for the other.

In the final seconds of the game, the Otters made one last try for a goal. Jazz stopped it with his head — and the whistle
blew.

It was all over: Anchors 4, Otters 1.

“Four goals by four different players,” Coach Kingsley said as the team gathered around. “Now that’s what I call teamwork.”

The crowd poured out of the stands. Dana could see Mr. and Mrs. Crawford walking side by side with his folks. Christy and
Letitia were trailing right behind them.

His father seemed to be telling Mr. Crawford something very serious. When he got closer, he could hear what Mr. Bellamy was
saying.

“I don’t know what it is, but I have this craving for mashed potatoes.”

“I’m hungry, too,” Christy announced. Dana and Benton looked at each other and started laughing.

It was good to have things back to normal.
