In the locker room chaos before school Tuesday morning, the young men of Grapevine High School’s football team scrambled to get ready for a last-minute team meeting.
“Hurry up, hurry up,” head coach Randy Jackson shouted. “Something really important to talk about today, so let’s go!”The teenage boys who were dressed grabbed folding chairs and set up in the main space of the locker room. Usually, they don’t step on the big red Mustang in the center of the room, but today they needed all the space they could get. Both the junior varsity and varsity squads crammed in to hear what the coach had to say, some lining the halls and craning their necks to see.
