Damien got into the basketball team; at least he got the opportunity to come for the tryouts, all to the displeasure of the team and many others. 

“Ashton was not going to like this” was the main litany on their lips. Mr Bruce, a new coach, just resumed work that semester after the last coach was dismissed by the school board due to a complaint from a student whose mother happened to be part of the board. Mr Bruce still didn’t know how the school system works or it could be that he choose not to let their ways affect him as he insisted on doing what he felt was right for the students.

All the team’s protests seemed unfounded without any tangible reason and he dismissed them as he allowed Damien to join the team. If he could pass the tryouts of course. Jax Meyer thought the same as well and Sky automatically approved that Damien would be a great addition.
