It's full-time pressure but all-time glory if you lead the team to victory!
Jake Cullen is QB1. He came into this world with an expectation: He would be a football player, most likely in the most important position on the field: quarterback. He has it in his blood -- to lead the football team in high school, and thus, help lead the school and the town where he lives.
You see, his dad and his older brother both held that position before him, and Jake understood he would, too. But he did not understand the traits and the work ethic involved with leading a team, a school and, yes, the small town that looked to its high school football team for just about everything from entertainment to some serious socializing.
Starting quarterback Jake Cullen learned the pressure of that position not so much from his lineage but from something that happened in less than 24 hours after his first game as the starting QB. It happened in an incident at a restaurant where Casey Lindell tried to embarrass him. At that point, Jake had the opportunity to be a fool or a leader.
Setting the stage for his future victory, Jake chose to be a leader and avoided a major conflict, a major embarrassment for himself in that incident. That shows that he has what it takes to be the starting or full-time leader of a high school football team in the small town of Granger, Texas. Fulfilling that role, though, is no small thing because in a small town like this in the big state of Texas football is king, and the No. 1 quarterback is the prince -- of the entire community.
