After the Gadsten band competition our senior year, football players from Redbank chased William Stults and me through a dashing car chase throughout Brainerd and East Ridge. This included dashes across red lights, screaming the wrong way down one-way streets, and a final confrontation in the parking lot outside the band room. It all started over my defending the honor of Stephanie Cain and Laura Jackson with a raised middle finger... to some Redbank football monster with drive-in movie speakers for weapons.
