 Tiki and Ronde are twins who are just starting middle school. They have always been in the same class each year, but this year their mom had them in different classes for every single class. They are having a rough time without each other. They both try out for the middle school football team and they both make it. But they do not start for the team. All their friends make it and all their friends start. When one of their friends says you will get your chance you have to wait, they calm down and they are not as made.

Ronde gets a chance to play in one set of downs, when they are wining. His coach tells him to just run the ball right up the middle. Ronde is mad because he knows he can score, he chooses to listen to his coach anyway. He just runs the ball right up the middle, just like coach wanted. That game they end up wining 27-7. The next week Ronde and Tiki both decide to talk to their coach about their playing time. They tell their coach that they want to start. Their coach tells them, you well get to start sooner or later but for now you guys have to root on your team. This is a team sport not an individual sport. They say O.K. The next game they are wining they try a screen pass to the tailback. He drops it and Tiki says that he could of caught that, right in front of his coach. His coach says oh really. Next set of downs Tiki is in he runs the ball 15 yards then he fumbles it. His coach yells at him and that is the end of Tiki's playing time. They end up wining 27-24.

The climax is when two of their teammates get injured they get their chance to start. Tiki plays tailback he breaks a bunch of tackles and scores a touchdown. He also gets a screen pass passed to him and he takes it for a long run. But the next drive he gets rocked and he then gets knocked out cold. Ronde then goes in for Tiki and scores a long touchdown. They end up winning the game and Tiki gets the game ball. The coach tells them that they both played well that day and that the starters are going to get better so they well not get to start the next game but he did say he found some good back ups.
