The Team That Couldn't Lose (7 page)

The Black Elks couldn’t catch up. The Cayugans won 7-3.

After the handshaking with the Black Elks was over, after all the cheering and the shouting, Phil thanked the Cayugans. Especially
one person whom he pulled toward him and shook hands with. Danny Liver-more.

“Here’s the boy we owe our successful season to,” Phil said. “Danny Livermore, our manager. If it weren’t for his sending
us the plays Mr. McFall’s team used sixty years
ago, we really might’ve had a season of defeats instead of six straight victories. Let’s give Danny a great big hand.”

The guys yelled and applauded for Danny.

Chip applauded the loudest of all. To think I almost quit this team, he thought with a smile. And if it weren’t for this little
guy, I would have. Just goes to show — you really can’t judge a book by its cover. Unless it’s an old playbook, that is!
