He didn’t check the scoreboard and it actually said it was five to five, in overtime. He runs over to Mikey who couldn’t be more stunned and joyous to see him. Joe throws on his gear and heads out to the field for the last two minutes of OT. The face-offs begin and Powell Shooters win it. One pass, two passes, three passes and one finally to Joe. Joe takes it to the back right corner of the field and sets up his best dodge. He goes into the defender and does his thing and swiftly gets by him.
