The crowd in the stands had stopped caring about the score. Even though it was already 42-0, they were all focused on one thing—whenever Li Wei got the ball, they stomped their feet in unison and chanted, "King! King! King!"
The final whistle blew. Franklin High School won the championship with a lopsided 54-6 victory, becoming the most dominant champion in the history of the PSAL—a record that might never be broken.
The only reason the other team scored six points was because, with the score at 48-0, Li Wei let the fully recovered Craig take the field to get some playing time. With Craig in, the teams were evenly matched, and both scored six points.
Cheers erupted all around as his teammates rushed over and lifted Li Wei high into the air, as if hoisting their king.
And in fact, Li Wei was worthy of the title.
"You've changed the fate of most of these guys," Coach Miller said suddenly as they walked toward the sidelines. "The vast majority of them."
