The choice of the opposing team was to get the ball in the first half. Hardy walked back to the sidelines, scanning the crowd again for any sign of Miracle. He was getting more and more frustrated the longer he couldn't find her. He saw his family, his father glaring at him warningly. He saw many faces of people he knew, but there was no sign of Miracle
