Washington Academy Chapter 27 Life Goes On

Robbie had a very busy schedule with his summer classes, football practices, martial arts training, and frequent trips to Traverse City to study gymnastics. He learned that each coach expected him to concentrate on his sport, but he constantly reminded himself that becoming a SEAL was his ultimate goal. He was excited when Derrick Harmon made a special addition to the martial arts training.

"I don't want you to get a big head, but you're doing great in the martial arts training," Derrick Harmon said. "I've never seen a young guy learn so fast, and it won't be long until I won't be able to challenge you anymore. Your uncle is the ultimate trainer, and I've asked him to start spending some time on campus to teach you things that I can only dream about. David has slowed down some because of his age, but he could still kick my ass any time he wanted to. He was the best of the best, and guys at Coronado, California still talk about his skills. David agreed that you are ready for some advanced weapon training. Are you ready for training with a 9mm or 45 caliber handgun and a sniper rifle?"

"YES!!" Robbie exclaimed. "Uncle Dave let me shoot a handgun at a range in Chicago, but I've never fired a high powered rifle. I did okay with a 22, but I'd like to try shooting a 7mm Mag like Uncle Dave used in Viet Nam!"

Derrick Harmon knew that Robbie would be excited about learning how to shoot those powerful weapons. He wanted to wait to see how Robbie handled the weapons before exposing the young cadet to the AK 47 Assault Rifles used by Navy SEALs. Colin Williams, Chief of Security at the Academy was thrilled when Derrick asked him to help with Robbie's weapon training.

Tracker Whitestone was concerned about the multitude of activities that Robbie was participating in. He missed the times that he had spent alone with Robbie, and finally decided to talk privately with his best friend.

"We never seem to see you anymore," Tracker said to Robbie. "I know that you're committed to becoming a Navy SEAL, but I'm afraid that you'll burn out. Do you think maybe you should cut back on something so you can have some fun?"

"I realize I've got a full schedule," Robbie admitted. "I'm learning a lot in gymnastics that has helped me do better in the Martial Arts training with Coach Harmon. I think I can keep up with my training and still play on the football team. Is that what you're worried about?"

"I just think you need to have some fun instead of constantly pushing yourself," Tracker said. "A bunch of us are headed for a party in town with some horny girls, and we'd love you to join us. Will you consider going?"

Robbie hadn't told any of his cadet buddies about the sex with Aaron Adams. Parents Weekend was coming up soon, and he was confused about his own sexuality and how it would affect his future. He had told Aaron that sex wasn't going to be a frequent part of gymnastics training, but his sex with the young brother of Richmond Adams had awakened his desire to release his sexual tension in ways other than jerking off.

"Yeah, I do miss being with you like before," Robbie admitted. "I'll go with you guys to that party. Maybe I can score some fresh pussy!"

Tracker was pleased that Robbie accepted his offer. It was the last weekend before Parents' Weekend, and he hoped that Robbie would have fun in Traverse City. He also hoped that Robbie would rekindle his interest in gay sex, and return to episodes in the Storage Room.

Robbie was driving his red Blazer off the campus and into Traverse City, and talked to his excited cadet buddies about the party. Trip, Tracker and Mark were riding with him, and they all hoped that some horny girls would be at the party.

"I met Kristin at the mall, and she invited me to the party tonight," Mark said excitedly. "She's really cute, and said her girlfriends wanted a bunch of cadets to come to the party. We'll be at Kristin's house but her parents will be home. She's a beautiful blonde and said her girlfriends are all really cute and hot!"

"No drugs or booze!" Robbie demanded of his friends. "I bet that one of the coaches will be at our dorm when we get back, and I sure don't want to get kicked off the football team. You guys gotta promise me that you'll stay clear of anything illegal!"

"I might fuck a girl who's not 18!" Mark admitted. "I'm still a virgin with girls, and I'd love to lose my cherry tonight! Does fucking a cute girl violate your rules?"

"Just don't rape anyone!" Robbie advised. "We'd better stick together in case some of the Traverse City Chargers are at the party. We sure don't want to get in a fight with them with that big football game coming up next weekend! Remember, don't drink anything that's already been opened." He remembered another party that he had attended with Drew, and two girls had given them opened cans of Dr. Pepper that had been spiked with Vodka. He wanted to make sure that his buddies didn't fall into a similar trap.

When the four cadets arrived at the huge home on Peninsular Drive, they were lucky to find a parking spot in the long driveway that wound through the trees leading up to the house. They were all impressed with the size of the home, and knew that it must have cost a fortune to buy.

Kristin Kelly was waiting at the door to greet her friends, and was thrilled to see Mark Jenkins as well as the other three cadets. She ran up to Mark and gave him a hug and kiss before being introduced to his friends from the famous academy.

Robbie was pleased to see that Kristin was a beautiful girl with long blonde hair, blue eyes, and tits that looked hard as granite. He felt his dick stir in his pants when he met Kristin and five of her girlfriends, and then met David and Carla Kelly, Kristin's parents.

"Welcome to our home!" David Kelly said to the cadets. He knew that Robbie Mathews and Tracker Whitestone were talented football players and would be facing the Traverse City Chargers the next weekend in their critical football game. "We hope you enjoy yourselves tonight, but hope that we don't have any problems between you guys and some of our football players who are already here."

"We sure won't start any trouble," Robbie promised. He had warned his cadet buddies that they would leave the party if any trouble started.

"Hi Robbie!" Cassandra Brooks said when she recognized Robbie. She was a gymnast, and had the small and lithe body that all female gymnasts had developed. She was one of Aleksandr Andropov's most talented students and had always been friendly to Robbie.

Hi Cassie!" Robbie replied when he recognized the cute girl. She had her long blonde hair braided and looked beautiful in a denim skirt and lace blouse. She was about 5 feet tall and couldn't weigh more than 80 pounds, but her body was perfect!

"Let's get something to drink and join the party in the family room," Cassie offered. She had watched Robbie working with her gymnastics coach and had been aroused by the muscles on the famous cadet. She was thrilled that Robbie was at the party and hoped that she could spend some quality time with him.

Robbie followed Cassie into the family room and up to a large tub that was filled with ice and soft drinks. He was pleased that his buddies avoided the punch bowl and selected soft drinks that were obviously safe. He chatted with Cassie and was pleased that each of his cadet buddies was talking to a cute girl. He watched the teens dancing to the loud music and got some nasty stares from big guys who were probably football players from Traverse City High School that his team would be facing the next weekend.

Cassie held Robbie's hand while they walked around the family room and library of the mansion. She was thrilled to introduce Robbie to her friends and made sure that each friend knew that Robbie was studying gymnastics with her.

Robbie was enjoying the party, but was still concerned that an altercation with some of the football players would ruin the night. He kept an eye on his cadet buddies, especially Trip and Mark because they were both small guys. He danced a few dances with Cassie and was enjoying the female companionship.

"I'd like to see your Blazer," Cassie said to Robbie. "Aaron has been bragging to everyone at the club about the cool sound system that you have."

It was a warm evening, so Robbie and Cassie didn't need jackets to go outside. He led Cassie up to his Blazer and opened the passenger door for her to get inside. He walked around to the driver's side door and got inside. He started the engine and turned the stereo up for Cassie to listen to the loud music. She had other things in mind.

Cassie was horny, and leaned over the console and kissed Robbie on the cheek. When he turned his head, her lips met his, and their kisses became passionate.

Robbie felt his dick stir in his jeans, and wished that the console could evaporate so he could increase the body contact with the cute girl. He wondered how far she would go, and started kissing her neck and ear. The results were more than he expected.

Cassie moaned and slid her hand down to the front of Robbie's jeans. She gently caressed the front of his jeans until she located the bulge of his cock. She closed her fingers around the shaft of pleasure and was pleasantly surprised at how thick and long the cock had become. She had checked out Robbie's bulge at the gymnastics club when Robbie was executing the flips and turns, and had loved the view. Now she had the throbbing meat in her hand and she wanted more.

When Robbie felt Cassie's hand stroking his awakening love tool, he decided to let his own hands roam. He was thrilled when Cassie didn't object when his left hand slid over her left breast.

Cassie knew that most teenaged boys liked huge boobs, but hers were small and firm from the conditioning programs that were common to gymnastic students. She moaned and searched for the zipper to Robbie's jeans, hoping that the handsome cadet wouldn't object to her sexual advances.

Robbie marveled at the firm mounds of Cassie's breasts. He decided to make a bold move when he felt Cassie searching for the zipper to his jeans. He unbuttoned the front of Cassie's blouse and slid his hand inside to caress the firm tits through the white lace bra.

"It unhooks in front," Cassie moaned to Robbie. She had located the zipper to Robbie's jeans and had tried to pull it down, but the position of Robbie's body made it impossible. She was thrilled when she felt Robbie move on the seat to straighten his legs and let her slide the zipper all the way down.

Robbie unhooked the bra clasp between the two firm tits and gently caressed the rock hard globes. Cassie didn't need to wear a bra because her breasts were small and very firm, with two very erect nipples topping the small mounds. Robbie leaned over and began licking and sucking on Cassie's nipples. The tits were perfect!

Cassie slid her hand inside Robbie's jeans and then through the fly opening in his boxers. She gasped when she felt the size of Robbie's throbbing meat and marveled at the soft skin that covered the hard shaft of pleasure. She slid her hand down until she finally reached the head of Robbie's cock and let her fingers smear the precum over and around the tender head. She was a virgin, but her girlfriends had told her about their intimate experiences and she wanted to try everything!

All of the inhibitions of the two teens had evaporated. Robbie was convinced that he was going to fuck the cute girl and wanted to eat her pussy! He lifted his mouth off from Cassie's perfect tits and said, "Let's climb into the back of the Blazer!"

Cassie didn't want to let go of Robbie's cock, but hoped that she would get a chance to suck it and have the handsome teen claim her virginity. She was 15, and all of her girlfriends had been fucked and bragged about how great it feels to have a cock in their mouths or pussies. She quickly followed Robbie in climbing over the seats to get in the back of the Blazer.

Robbie loved his Blazer and folded down the rear seats to provide more room for sexual activities. He grabbed the blanket and pillow that he kept in the back of the vehicle, and quickly made a temporary bed.

Cassie laid down on the blanket and pillow and offered her body to the handsome cadet. She grabbed Robbie's shirt and peeled it off so she could run her fingers over his muscles.

Robbie was doing the same thing by removing Cassie's blouse and bra. He licked her breasts and let his tongue stimulate every inch of skin that had been exposed. He slid his hand under Cassie's denim skirt and wasn't surprised to feel a wet spot in the front of her panties. He rubbed over the pubic mound and then hooked his fingers under the elastic in the leg opening so he could finger the wet pussy.

Cassie moaned when she felt Robbie's fingers caressing her vulva. She reached down and unhooked the clasp on the side of her skirt and slid the zipper down. She lifted up to let Robbie slide the skirt off, and then hooked her fingers in the waistband of her panties to slide them off too.

Robbie couldn't believe that Cassie was being so assertive in their sexual exploration.

"I want you nude too!" Cassie exclaimed. She sat up and quickly removed all of Robbie's clothes and then dove down to his cock.

Robbie moaned when he felt the head of his cock slide into Cassie's warm mouth. He never expected her to suck his dick, but he was in heaven! He could tell that Cassie wasn't an experienced cocksucker, because she gagged several times and let her teeth scrape his pleasure shaft.

"Sorry," Cassie said when she felt Robbie's body jerk back during her cock sucking.

"It feels great as long as you don't let your teeth hit my meat," Robbie admitted. He moved around in the Blazer until his face was between Cassie's firm legs. He leaned forward and savored the aroma of her cunt before lapping at the outer lips. Lights along the driveway gave him enough light to see that Cassie had a thin strip of trimmed pubic hair leading down to her love tunnel. "I like your 'landing strip'" Robbie said before shoving his tongue inside Cassie's pussy.

Both teens were horny, and their orgasms were fast and intense. Cassie gulped down Robbie's cum, but some of it flowed down her cheeks when she felt her own orgasm begin. She couldn't concentrate on swallowing when her pussy was throbbing and grinding against Robbie's face.

Robbie concentrated his tongue action on the clitoris of the cute girl, wanting to make sure that her orgasm was intense and lasting. At first he hadn't been able to locate the small nub of Cassie's love button, but when she was fully aroused, the clit was like a tiny erect penis.

The two teens continued slurping and licking the intimate parts of their friend's genitals until both of them collapsed out of exhaustion. Robbie turned to put his head next to Cassie's on the pillow and leaned over and licked some of his own cum off her cute face. Cassie used her finger to scoop up a long string of cum and slid her finger into Robbie's mouth before giving him a passionate kiss. Neither teen was grossed out about eating cum that had leaked out of Cassie's mouth during their passionate "69".

Cassie kept holding and stroking Robbie's cock, even after it went soft. "I wish I had one of these!" she remarked.

"I'm glad you have one of these!" Robbie said while sliding his fingers along the wet slit of Cassie's pussy. "I love these too!" he said before leaning over to lick and suck on Cassie's nipples.

"I wish my boobs were bigger, but most girls in gymnastics have tiny tits," Cassie admitted.

"You breasts are perfect!" Robbie replied honestly. He had never shared sex with a girl who had a body developed to the point that it could match or beat any cadet.

"I want you to fuck me!" Cassie said when she felt Robbie's cock begin to harden. "I'm a virgin, but I don't want to spend the rest of my life wondering what it feels like to have a hard dick inside me."

"I might hurt you," Robbie admitted. He was intrigued about claiming his first virgin girl, but had heard horror stories about girls bleeding profusely and screaming in pain during their first fuck.

"My girlfriends have all had sex, and they admitted that the first time will hurt and that I'll probably bleed," Cassie said. "I want you to be my first sex partner."

Robbie was thrilled. He climbed to the front of the Blazer and opened the console where he had a supply of condoms and K-Y jelly lubricant. He retrieved the supplies and quickly joined his willing partner for the special event. He had made sure that all of his cadet buddies had condoms before they left the Academy, but never put any in the pockets of his jeans.

"Let me put the condom on your dick," Cassie pleaded. "Your dick's huge, but I want it inside me right now. Don't make me wait!"

Robbie moaned when Cassie slid the condom over his throbbing meat. Because of her inexperience, she smeared most of the lubricant off from his cock, but he quickly added more from the tube. He moved so he was between Cassie's legs and lifted them into the cool evening air. He leaned down and began eating her pussy again to get it ready for its first invasion.

Cassie moaned when Robbie's tongue and lips stimulated her pussy. She was anxious about her first fuck and hoped that Robbie wouldn't make her wait long.

"Please fuck me now!" Cassie pleaded. Her wish was quickly granted.

Robbie added more lubricant to the head of his cock and rubbed it back and forth over the moist slit of Cassie's cunt. When he felt the opening to her love tunnel, he pushed forward until the head of his cock slipped inside. His cock slid inside until it met the barrier that Nature had provided for virgin girls. He waited for a signal from Cassie before pulling back and then rammed his cock against her hymen.

Cassie screamed when she felt her hymen rip from the impact of Robbie's cock. She wrapped her legs around Robbie's waist and raked his back with her fingernails. The pain was intense!

"God, you're tight!" Robbie exclaimed when he felt his cock slide deep inside the tight pussy. He paused to let Cassie's body adjust to his invasion, and felt her muscles throbbing around his pulsing cock. He wanted to make her first fuck a memorable one, and hoped that he could delay the orgasm that was already causing his cock to throb. He used his mind control to delay his orgasm and waited for a sign from his new lover to begin his thrusts.

"FUCK ME!" Cassie screamed when her pussy had adjusted to being invaded. Every muscle in her body was used to match the strokes of Robbie's hard meat, and the windows of the Blazer fogged over from the heat of the two horny teenagers.

Robbie knew that his back would have marks from Cassie's fingernails, but he ignored the pain to pound his cock in and out of her gripping cunt.

Cassie moaned with a mixture of pain and pleasure from getting her first fuck. She matched every motion of Robbie's body to maintain the contact and pull the hard cock deep inside her body.

Robbie did his best, but he was unable to delay his orgasm. He moaned when his cock unloaded inside the condom and finally collapsed on top of Cassie. He had hoped that she would have another climax, but felt guilty for cumming and ending their mating.

"That was awesome!" Cassie said to Robbie. "I'm sore, but I loved having sex with you."

"I'm sorry that I couldn't hold back so you could cum with me," Robbie admitted. He slid his cock out of Cassie's pussy, but didn't want to look down in case there was blood on the gold blanket.

"My girlfriends warned me that it would hurt and that I wouldn't be able to cum in my first time with a guy," Cassie said. "You gave me the best orgasm of my life when you licked me, and I think you're a real stud!"

"Thanks for understanding," Robbie replied. "I hope that you didn't bleed too much."

"Let's go back inside so I can clean up," Cassie said. When she saw Robbie's back, she was upset. "Oh Shit!" Cassie exclaimed. "Your back's bleeding! I'm so sorry!"

Robbie knew that his back was sore, but didn't know that it was bleeding. He looked down on the gold blanket and saw a blood stain about the size of a softball where Cassie's pussy had leaked. He felt guilty, but listened to Cassie apologizing for scraping his back with her fingernails.

After talking for a few minutes more, the two satiated teens dressed to return to the party. Once inside, Cassie gave Robbie a kiss and headed for the bathroom.

"What the fuck happened to your back?" Tracker demanded of Robbie. He saw the spots of blood that had soaked through the white T-shirt and was ready to kill anyone who had hurt his best friend.

"Let it go, Tracker," Robbie said softly. "I'll explain later when we're in my Blazer heading back to the Academy."

Mark Jenkins ran up to the guys and immediately both Robbie and Tracker knew that the small cadet was excited.

"I nailed Kristin twice out by the pool!" Mark blurted out. "I lost my cherry!"

"Cool down and don't talk so loud," Robbie advised Mark. He knew that any guy would want to brag about his first sex with a girl, but he didn't want any of the Traverse City football players to hear what his little buddy was saying.

"Let's find Trip and get out of here," Tracker suggested. "I was hoping to get laid, but Julie's 'on the rag' and wouldn't even give me a hand job!"

Trip came up to his cadet buddies and the look on his face said it all. He had scored and wanted to brag to his buddies.

"Save it for the trip back to the Academy!" Robbie said before Trip could even open his mouth to say the first word. "Let's get out of here while we're still alive!"

"Why are the rear seats folded down?" Mark asked Robbie.

"HOLY SHIT!" Trip exclaimed when he saw the stains on the gold blanket behind the rear seats. "SOMEONE GOT LAID IN HERE, AND IT LOOKS LIKE HE POPPED A CHERRY!"

"Shut up and get in!" Robbie ordered. He hoped that no one had heard Trip's outburst so they could leave without any trouble.

On the trip back to the Academy, three cadets were excited to share details of their sexual conquests. Tracker was quiet because his story was one of rejection, but he was happy to hear about how Trip and Mark had scored at the party, and how Robbie had busted Cassie's cherry.

"I begged you to go to that party, and everyone gets laid but me!" Tracker moaned. "Next time I'll go by myself!"

"You'll have to walk because Robbie's the only one with wheels!" Mark teased. "This was the best night of my life!"

Trip had enjoyed the party and the sex, but was afraid that he would lose his cute lover. He and Mark had been frequent visitors to the Storage Room, and he hoped that their sexual adventures would continue. He waited until the next day before confronting Mark about his concerns.

"I know that you wanted to get laid, but I'm afraid that I'm losing you," Trip said to Mark. "Are we still boyfriends?"

"I love you!" Mark said in reply. "I'll always love you! I won't lie to you because you're my Big Brother. I wanted to fuck a girl to see what it's like, and it was exciting, but I'm convinced that I'm gay and totally in love with you!"

"Are you sure?" Trip asked. "My parents want grandchildren, so I tried straight sex a few times, but I like smoking a dick and feeling a dick in my ass!"

Mark laughed and then said, "I'd like to feel you deep inside my ass right now! Let's go swap sperm with each other!"

The two horny cadets headed for the Grant Athletic Building and the clandestine Equipment Storage Room where they could make love without being interrupted.

The last week of football practice before Parents' Weekend was a disaster for the football team. Carson Smith twisted his ankle and was held out of practice by Dr. Linda Miller. His prognosis wasn't good, with Dr. Miller saying that he might need surgery and could be out for the entire season. Adam Frazier, another wide receiver, dislocated his shoulder, and would miss at least two games. Elwood Bluestone had an appendicitis attack and was taken to Bay Medical Center for emergency surgery.

Robbie begged for a pass to drive to the hospital to be with his Little Brother, and was joined by Pat Leahy, Trip and Tracker. The four cadets were afraid that Elwood might die from the burst appendix, and prayed for the recovery of their close friend. Most of the football team waited for news from the attending physicians, and tried to remain positive.

Guy Stephens and Derrick Harmon were concerned about their star athlete, and talked to their players while waiting for news from the doctors.

"When an appendix ruptures, it spreads toxins throughout the abdominal cavity," Guy Stephens said to his concerned players. "Severe infections can result, so the surgery might take a while. You men can either stay here or go back to the Academy and we'll call you with any news."

The football players all wanted to stay at the hospital to wait for news about Elwood. John and Linda Bluestone, parents of Jake and Elwood, joined them in their vigil. It was midnight before the doctors came out to talk to Jake, John and Linda Bluestone.

"Normally we'd go into a conference room to give you our report," Dr. Jason Burris began, "But we know that everyone is waiting for some good news." The Surgical Waiting Room was overflowing with concerned cadets and faculty members, and the doctors decided to include everyone in their report.

"Jonathan's appendix burst before we began the surgery, but the toxins were contained in a small area of his abdominal cavity," Dr. Burris said. "We were able to remove the toxins before any internal organs were damaged, and we expect him to make a full recovery. He's heavily sedated, but we can let the parents see him if they promise not to try to wake him. He's a very lucky young man!"

"I'm gonna see my brother too!" Jake demanded. "I want my Big Brother and Robbie to go in with us! Robbie's his Big Brother, and Elwood needs to have all of us see him and say a prayer together!"

It was nearly 1:00 a.m. before the cadets returned to the campus of the George Washington Academy. They were all exhausted, and were excused from all classes for the day by Chancellor Brown.

On Wednesday, the football team met in the gymnasium before getting dressed for the daily practice. Guy Stephens and Derrick Harmon met with their players to talk about changes in the lineup that were necessary after losing three of their receivers.

"Shit happens!" Guy Stephens began when he was in front of his talented football players. "With the injuries to Carson Smith, Adam Frazier and Elwood, we need to adjust our lineups until they return."

All of the players knew that the first game of the year was usually the toughest because it was against the Traverse City North Chargers. The players were all willing to do whatever their coaches asked of them to prepare for this vital game on Parents' Weekend.

"Mathews, can you go both ways for us?" Guy Stephens asked Robbie. He wanted his favorite cadet to commit to playing both offense and defense in the important football game.

"I've been going both ways ever since I started here at the Academy!" Robbie replied with a straight face. "But I thought that the rule about sexual activities was 'Don't ask, Don't tell'!"

The football players roared with laughter, especially seeing the startled reaction from their coaches. They couldn't believe that Robbie had admitted his bi-sexuality, but laughed even louder when they saw the reaction from Coach Stephens.

"JESUS CHRIST!" Guy Stephens exclaimed. He realized that Robbie had just nailed him again, and he turned his back on his players to compose himself.

Derrick Harmon had joined the players in roaring with laughter at what Robbie had said. He put his arm on Guy's shoulder and said, "He just nailed your ass again!"

"I love that kid like he's my own, but sometimes I want to kill him!" Guy Stephens admitted to Derrick. He knew that he had to gain control of the situation, and bit his cheek until it bled to keep from joining in the laughter.

"Mathews, if you make another smartass comment like that, I'll put you on detention for the rest of your life!" Guy Stephens yelled at Robbie. "You know damn well that I meant playing both offense and defense in the game against the Chargers, not anything sexual!"

Robbie had other funny comments to make to his coaches, but decided that he had crossed the line and needed to show respect. His teammates were still laughing at Coach Stephens, but he kept a straight face and said, "I'll do whatever you ask of me, Sir!"

"That's better!" Guy Stephens exclaimed. He was still fighting his own urges to laugh about what Robbie had said, but he had to maintain control of the team meeting. He explained the changes that he and Derrick had for the starting lineups before sending the players to the locker room to get dressed for the practice.

"We should write a book about all the times that smartass has busted us!" Derrick said to his boss and best friend. "It sure broke the tension in the gym! We'll have to use Robbie sparingly, but his conditioning and gymnastics training will pay big dividends for us. He's in the best shape of any cadet in the history of this Academy, and I'll bet he could play all 60 minutes of the game if we need him!"

"God that was funny!" Tracker said to Robbie when they got in the locker room. "You busted his balls, and we all loved it!"

"Sometimes I don't think before I talk," Robbie admitted. "We needed something to break the funky mood, but maybe I went too far. I'll apologize to both coaches before practice ends."

On Friday evening, a string of Academy buses and cars filled with parents of the cadets headed to Traverse City North High School for their significant football game. The cadets were all excited about having their family members visit the campus and hoped that the football team would win the game to begin the weekend festivities.

David and Marie Mathews were excited about returning to the famous academy that had launched David's military career. They were pleased when Tom, Carol and Jennifer Anderson asked to join them on the long drive from the Detroit Area to the Traverse City area. The Anderson family still felt a strong bond with the famous academy, and wanted to be part of Parents' Weekend, remembering how Drew loved the visits from all of the parents of the cadets.

It was a difficult time for the Andersons to return to the campus where Drew had been a famous cadet. They were choked up when they walked inside Washington Hall and saw Drew's picture on the "Wall of Heroes". The caption under Drew's graduation picture was simple: "Andrew 'Drew' Thomas Anderson First Cadet Elected Captain of Three Different Sports Football, Basketball and Baseball 1992-1993 Michigan State Championship Teams in All Three Sports A Life Tragically Lost on May 24, 1993 1976-1993"

Everyone shed tears when they looked at the picture of Drew and the caption underneath. They all missed Drew and silently prayed for their lost loved one.

"Robbie said that Drew's jersey will be retired on Sunday, during the Chapel Services," David Mathews told the Andersons. "We'll never forget Drew and what he did for Robbie!"

Thomas Anderson and David Mathews had already established a scholarship fund in Drew's memory to help young men attend the famous academy. They had each contributed a million dollars, and the annual interest would be used for tuition expenses, and the contributions would be increased in the future.

The group composed themselves before leaving Washington Hall to drive to Traverse City for the game. When they arrived at the football field, they were pleased to see the memorial for Drew in the simple program. It was the same photograph and words from the plaque in Washington Hall, but also described how the Academy football players were remembering their star quarterback. Each player had a black armband on the right sleeve of his jersey and a small "7" on the back of his helmet.

The stands quickly filled to capacity, with the parents of the cadets extending their condolences to the Anderson family if they had been unable to attend Drew's funeral. The somber tone in the stands was quickly replaced with excitement when the band started playing the "Fight Song" and the cadet football team ran out on the field.

WTCM, Channel 12, was broadcasting the game on local television, and two seasoned commentators were giving the pre-game information about the two talented teams. Bernie Thomas was the lead commentator, and he began the broadcast by saying, "We welcome our television audience to the first game in the Tri-County Conference, pitting the Chargers of Traverse City North High School against the Eagles of the George Washington Academy. This is a special treat for our viewers because, for the past six years, the winner of this game has gone on to win the League Championship."

"We're not the only ones interested in this game here at Spears Field on the grounds of Traverse City North High School," George Martin added. "Every year, scouts from many of the premier colleges and military academies in our nation attend this game, looking for talented players for their programs."

"Last year the game was played on the campus of the George Washington Academy, and the Eagles dominated the Chargers by a final score of 49 to 14!" Bernie Thomas said. "The Eagles went on to win the League Championship, waltzed through the playoff series, and won the coveted State Championship by defeating the Saginaw Central High School Sentinels by a record-setting score of 49 to nothing!"

"That was the largest margin of victory in the history of Michigan High School football competition," George Martin added. "The Eagles didn't stop there! Their talented teams went on to win State Championships in basketball and baseball."

"Andrew Anderson was elected 'Team Captain' in all three sports, and had a bright future at Michigan State, and very likely in the National Football League, but tragedy struck in May," Bernie Thomas added. "Drew Anderson was killed in a horrible automobile accident when his car was hit by a furniture truck. In remembrance of Andrew Anderson, his jersey, Number 7, will be retired this weekend on the campus of the George Washington Academy."

"All of the football players are wearing a black arm band and the number '7' on their helmets to honor Andrew Thomas Anderson, the best quarterback in the history of the George Washington Academy," George Martin added. "Anderson won the equivalent of the 'Heisman Trophy' for high school football players, and I'm sure that he's missed by the cadets of the George Washington Academy and his family and friends."

"Eagle Team Captain, Jermaine Bryant is shaking hands with the Chargers' Co-Captains Andre Wilkinson, Darnell Watson and Thomas Cohan, and we're ready for the coin toss," Bernie Thomas announced. "The Eagles have won the toss and have elected to receive to start this important football game."

"Head Coach Guy Stephens had to make some lineup changes due to injuries to three of his key players," George Martin said. "Carson Smith injured his right ankle, Adam Frazier, another wide receiver, dislocated his shoulder, and Elwood Bluestone had an appendicitis attack that required surgery. Quarterback, Tracker Whitestone will have to use different receivers tonight, and that might take away an important part of the Eagles' game plan."

"The Eagles have one of the best running backs in the nation in Darrian Thomas, the 185 pound sophomore running back from Louisiana," Bernie Thomas added. "Thomas could start for any college in the country, and with the loss of the three top receivers, I expect the Eagles to concentrate on their running game tonight."

"Here's the kick, and Patrick Leahy takes the ball at the 5 yard line!" George Martin announced. "Leahy breaks two tackles and is down at the Eagles' 28 yard line. It's first and 10 for the Eagles!"

"The Eagles' offense takes the field, with Tracker Whitestone at quarterback," Bernie Thomas announced. "Whitestone's a talented athlete who saw a lot of playing time last year when the Eagles had commanding leads and Guy Stephens pulled Andrew Anderson out of the game."

"Robbie's going in!" David Mathews said excitedly. "I didn't know that he'd be playing on offense!"

"Tracker's gonna throw a pass to Robbie!" Hunter Whitestone said excitedly. "Just wait and see!"

"Whitestone takes the snap and hands off to Thomas!" Bernie Thomas announced to the television audience. "Thomas breaks one tackle and another and is loose! He's finally tripped up, but the Eagles have a first down on their own 45 yard line!"

"That was a great cut by Darrian Thomas, and he broke two tackles and nearly went for a score!" George Martin added.

Hunter Whitestone was disappointed that his prediction didn't come true, but he continued cheering for his brother and the Eagles team.

"Whitestone's in the 'shotgun' formation, and he takes the snap and drops back to pass!" Bernie Thomas announced. "He has a receiver wide open and Whitestone launches a bomb! It's caught by Robert Mathews, and no one's going to catch him! He's at the 20, 15, 10, 5, TOUCHDOWN!"

"Whitestone just proved how accurate his throwing arm is by launching that bomb over 40 yards to Mathews!" George Martin added.

"That's my boy!" David Mathews screamed. He celebrated with everyone in the stands and watched Robbie hand the football to the official.

Jennifer Anderson screamed her pleasure at seeing Robbie catch the pass and score the first touchdown of the game. She was thrilled and couldn't wait to see Robbie and give him a hug and kiss.

"I TOLD YOU!" Hunter Whitestone yelled. "I TOLD YOU THAT TRACKER WOULD THROW A PASS TO ROBBIE!"

Everyone congratulated Hunter on his correct prediction and watched the cadets swarm around Robbie to celebrate that fantastic touchdown.

"Robert Mathews is listed as a defensive back, but he just proved that he can play offense too!" Bernie Thomas said. "Mathews is standing in the end zone with seven fingers extended into the air. I think that he's saluting Andrew Anderson by holding up the fingers that add up to Anderson's jersey number!"

"Mike Edwards, Personnel Director is here with us, so let's ask Mike about Robert Mathews," George Martin said.

"We have a residential program at the George Washington Academy," Mike Edwards began. "Each new cadet is called a plebe, and is assigned a Big Brother to help him acclimate to our unique environment. Andrew Anderson was the Big Brother for Robbie Mathews, and all of the cadets were shocked and saddened when Drew was killed. Robbie had a rough time accepting the death of his Big Brother, and he just recognized Drew with his gestures. Robbie is 6 feet tall, weighs 185 pounds, and is the Martial Arts Champion at the Academy. He's also taking gymnastics training from Aleksandr Andropov, one of the best gymnastics coaches in the world. He's solid muscle, and one of the most popular cadets on our campus."

"The extra point is good, and the Eagles lead by a score of 7 to nothing!" Bernie Thomas said. "We'll take a quick commercial break before the kickoff to the Traverse City North Chargers."

Guy Stephens and Derrick Harmon joined their players in congratulating Robbie and Tracker for the perfect execution of the pass play. They were thrilled that their team now led, but knew that the game was far from over.

Later in the game, the Eagles led by a score of 14 to 7, and had a first down on the 50-yard line.

"Whitestone takes the snap and drops back to pass!" Bernie Thomas announced. "He throws down the middle to Mathews! I don't believe what I just saw!"

"Robert Mathews had to jump high in the air to catch that pass, and while he was in the air he was hit hard by Curtis Hoyer!" George Martin announced excitedly. "Mathews did a complete back flip and landed on his feet and he's headed for the end zone!"

"Mathews stumbled when he landed, but put down his left hand to keep his knee from hitting the turf and streaked into the end zone for another Eagles' touchdown!" Bernie Thomas added. "That was the most incredible reception that I've ever seen! Gymnastics training just put another six points on the scoreboard for the Eagles! The score is now, Eagles 20, Chargers 7, with the extra point coming up!"

"HOLY FUCK!" Guy Stephens exclaimed when he saw Robbie catch the pass, flip, and land on his feet to run for the end zone. "I DON'T BELIEVE WHAT I JUST SAW!"

"Mathews is holding up seven fingers again!" George Martin added. "Darrian Thomas did the same thing when he ran 45 yards for the other Eagles' touchdown!"

"The extra point is good, and the Eagles now lead by a score of 21 to 7!" Bernie Thomas announced. "We'll be right back after a brief commercial break!"

"DID YOU SEE THAT?" David Mathews screamed to his close friend, Thomas Anderson. "Robbie's gymnastics training made that possible! I've never seen that happen in any football game, even in the pros!"

"Drew's up in heaven watching this game," Thomas Anderson said. "He loved Robbie, and he's celebrating along with the rest of us!"

Guy Stephens hugged Robbie and Tracker when they got to the sidelines, but he cautioned Tracker to lower his passes. Many receivers had been injured seriously when they were extended to catch a high pass and were hit by a defensive back.

When the 3rd quarter ended, the Eagles led by a score of 28 to 14. Normally the players would hold up four fingers to signal that they were conditioned and ready to win the final quarter and the entire football game. Instead, all of the Eagles' football players held up seven fingers.

"All of the Eagles' football players, coaches and trainers are holding up seven fingers to start the 4th quarter!" Bernie Thomas announced. "The Eagles' fans are following the lead of their players in saluting Andrew Anderson! What a wonderful way to remember a very talented athlete!"

"The Chargers are faced with 3rd down and 8 yards to go for a first down from their own 45 yard line," George Martin announced later in the 4th quarter.

Jermaine Bryant got the signal from Coach Harmon for the defense, and huddled his teammates together. "Corner blitz! Robbie, you're the gunner! Nail his ass!"

Robbie had been guarding Darnell Watson, the top receiver for the Chargers, and had prevented Darnell from catching any long passes. He was pleased to see that Darnell wasn't split out wide, knowing that it would shorten the distance to the quarterback. He acted like he was going to bump Darnell at the line of scrimmage, but at the last second he turned towards the quarterback. When he saw the center snap the ball, he streaked towards the quarterback. He lowered his shoulder and hit the quarterback in the side and the ball came loose!

"Andre Wilkinson takes the snap and drops back to pass," Bernie Thomas announced. "It's a blitz! Robert Mathews hit Andre Wilkinson, and the ball's loose! Jermaine Bryant recovers the fumble, and it's first and 10 for the Eagles at the 40 yard line of the Chargers!"

'DID YOU SEE THAT HIT?" David Mathews screamed. "THAT'S MY BOY!"

Jennifer Anderson was celebrating the hit by her boyfriend with the fans in the crowd. She exchanged "high fives" with everyone who was near her, and screamed her approval of the hit by Robbie.

"MY GOD HE GOT HIM!" Derrick Harmon exclaimed. "HE'S A LETHAL WEAPON!"

"He's done everything we could ask of him!" Guy Stephens said to his best friend, Derrick Harmon. "Let's put this game away!"

All of the players congratulated Robbie and Jermaine for the important play that ended a drive for the Chargers. They were all thrilled that they were leading in the key game that was being attended by many of their parents and important alumni from the Academy.

"That was an NFL hit by Robert Mathews on Andre Wilkinson!" George Martin said. "Wilkinson never saw the corner blitz coming, and he's slow getting up! Coach Mike Bass might have to go to his second string quarterback, with Andre Wilkinson barely able to get back to the sidelines. The referee has called an injury time out, so we'll be right back after a short commercial break!"

When the game resumed, Guy Stephens called a series of runs by Darrian Thomas that gained yardage and also kept the game clock running.

"The Eagles have a first down on the 12 yard line of the Chargers," Bernie Thomas announced. "Another score by the Eagles could seal the victory, with only 5 minutes left in this game!"

"Robbie's going in!" Jennifer Anderson screamed. "Get a touchdown Robbie!"

"Whitestone takes the snap and fakes to Thomas!" George Martin announced. "He drops back and looks for an open receiver! He floats the ball towards the corner of the end zone, and it's a 'jump ball'! Robert Mathews out leaped two defensive backs and pulled that pass down for another Eagle touchdown!"

"Mathews was hit hard, but somehow he held onto the ball, and the Eagles now lead by a score of 34 to 14, with the extra point attempt coming up!" Bernie Thomas said excitedly. I don't know how Mathews held onto that ball after being hit by two defensive backs! Mathews is slow getting up, but he's pushing away his teammates who want to help him to the sidelines!"

"WE'VE GOT THEM BY THE BALLS NOW!" Guy Stephens screamed to his players. He sent his kicking team out on the field for the extra point and pushed his way through the celebrating players to congratulate Robbie on the difficult catch.

"I'm proud of you!" Guy said to Robbie. "That was a fantastic catch! Now hit the bench! You're done for the rest of this game!"

Robbie was banged up, but he still wanted to go back into the game on defense. He appealed to Coach Harmon, but his pleas were futile.

"You were great tonight!" Derrick said to Robbie. "You'll be sore as hell tomorrow, and we don't want you to get hurt again. Take off your helmet and enjoy the rest of this game!"

The Anderson and Mathews' families celebrated with the Whitestone family. They were thrilled that Tracker and Robbie had played such an excellent game and couldn't wait to congratulate their boys.

David Mathews was proud of Robbie for the way his nephew had played in the game. He knew that he was supposed to further Robbie's martial arts training the next afternoon, but realized that Robbie would be sore the next day from playing in the football game. He decided to tell his friends, Guy Stephens and Derrick Harmon that he wouldn't train Robbie until Sunday afternoon at the earliest.

The Chargers got the kickoff, but were forced to mix running and passing plays to gain first downs. With 20 seconds left in the game, the Chargers scored their final touchdown.

"Coach Mike Bass won't let his players give up, but the Eagles lead by a score of 35 to 21," Bernie Thomas announced. "The Chargers need two touchdowns to tie this game, but the Eagles are ready for an 'on-side kick' by Allen Jersey."

"The Eagles catch the ball at their own 49 yard line, and will run out the clock to end this game!" George Martin announced.

"Whitestone takes the snap and puts his knee down to end this fantastic football game!" Bernie Thomas announced. "Julie Young is trying to get Guy Stephens for a quick interview, with both coaches shaking hands at midfield. Mike Bass and Guy Stephens are personal friends when they aren't facing each other on the football field, and both coaches run clean programs. Let's go down to Julie with the winning coach, Guy Stephens."

"Coach Stephens, how does it feel to win this all-important game tonight?" Julie Young asked.

"Every victory feels great, but this one is special because of the way we had to adjust after losing three of our best receivers, Guy Stephens replied. "Tracker Whitestone's a talented quarterback, and Robbie Mathews stepped up to give us some critical catches. Darrian Thomas is the best running back that I've ever coached, and all of my players answered the call to stay focused and win this game tonight."

"Will your team repeat as State Champions?" Julie Young asked.

"This is only the first game of our season, so it's premature for any predictions," Guy replied. "We hope to get Carson Smith, Elwood Bluestone and Adam Frazier back before long, and then our team should be able to be competitive with any high school in the State of Michigan."

"Congratulations on this tremendous victory tonight!" Julie said.

"We leave Spears Field on the grounds of the Traverse City North High School with the final score, George Washington Academy Eagles 35, Traverse City North High School Chargers 21!" Bernie Thomas announced.

Parents' Weekend was a repeat of the previous year, with a big celebration in Washington Hall for the victorious football team. Robbie was bruised and sore, but it didn't stop him from spending a lot of time with Jennifer Anderson. He accepted the accolades from the happy crowd and made sure that everyone met the girl that he called his "girlfriend".

Several events were repeated from the previous year. David Mathews played golf with Guy Stephens, and Derrick Harmon, but this time Tom Anderson replaced Vincent Brown who had other commitments. All four men enjoyed their golf competition and the Cuban cigars that Robbie had given to his uncle for a birthday present.

Mark Jenkins was in heaven when he won 1st place in the Cross Country competition on Saturday afternoon. His Big Brother, Trip, took 2nd place, and the Academy swept the first five places in the 12-team event. They were thrilled that a large contingent of cadets and parents witnessed their domination in the competition, and responded by winning the 12-team competition.

Robbie was disappointed when Uncle Dave refused to train him in the Martial Arts on Saturday afternoon. The football coaches had told his uncle that Robbie needed to recover from his bruises, and that any Martial Arts training had to be postponed until Sunday afternoon. He didn't know it, but some of his closest friends were using the Storage Room for their own type of celebration.

Stay tuned....
