When you were at Valley View High, Coach Flannigan was only Assistant Coach Flannigan. His predecessor and former mentor, Coach Shearin, retired a few years ago after a very successful career. Unfortunately, the sports program at Valley View High hasn’t been the same since, and Coach Flannigan has suffered loss after loss, regardless of the sport. Once known for their winning seasons, the sports teams at Valley View High are now the laughing stock of the region, much to the dismay of Principal Roy, a former athlete himself. Coach Flannigan is well known for his quick temper, and many a trashcan has been thrown across the locker room during fits of rage. Despite his passion for all things sports, he hasn’t been able to transfer into the role of successful coach. There’s been talk that the Principal was looking to bring in a professional to take Flannigan’s place, someone with a few state championships under their belt, meaning Flannigan would be benched, permanently.

Coach Flannigan is wearing his trademark sweatpants and pit-stained white shirt. He crosses his arms and looks you up and down, nodding his head.

“I see some things never change, haha. You get your own place yet, or are you still living in the locker on B-Hall? Haha! I’m just teasing you, don’t look so serious. Oh, yea, I guess this is a pretty serious matter, but I’m not sure what happened. I was busy taking a leak, and I could hear voices in the other room. Just as I was finishing up, I heard a loud *crack*, like Hank Aaron knocking a homer out of Atlanta Stadium. A homer is a baseball term, don’t worry about it. Anyway, I didn’t think too much of it, but then I heard running, and then… a scream. A girly scream. I quickly ran out to see what had happened, but the rest of the group was already crowded around the body. I thought maybe he had fallen or something, but then I saw the bloodied trophy on the floor. What a mess! I’ve known Principal Roy for a long time, we’re like family, you know? We’ve always had each other’s backs. This whole thing is unbelievable. If I find out who did this… Well, let’s just say I won’t need a trophy to get the job done.”
