Friday Night Lights (A 40 XP Yellow Quest)

You're experiencing the highs and lows of high school football!

You're a member of the high school's best-known sports team, and in the starting lineup. A lot's riding on you, and—hey, it's a lot of pressure, but you're tough and you love the game. Hell, you could even get a scholarship to college if you play your cards right and you're committed enough.

But it's not all your life is, and there's other things calling—obligations and desires and interests that don't quite line up with The Game. You're going to have to decide whether it's enough for you, and you're going to have to either hold it together—or break under pressure.

Major Goals:

The HG can award you 5 XP towards this quest when you:

[ ] Have a montage of your practices, and describe how you prepared you feel.
[ ] Lose your temper during practice about something that happened outside of it.
[ ] Get an offer to do something you'd really like to do that would make you miss practice.
[ ] Do a personal ritual or tradition for the day of the big game, or something you feel will bring you luck.

You can earn each bonus once, for a total of 20 XP.
