Who is the first game against? How is he treated by the crowd at the first game? How does the team (and coach) react/support him? How does this impact him?

               Junior's first Varsity Basketball game at Reardan was a against his old school: Wellprint High School. This school is located in the middle of the indian reservation that Junior lives on. Earlier on in this book Junior moved to a white school and this made many of the people who lives on the reservation became hostel to him. When Junior arrived at the Wellprint High School Gym the audience, the people who lived on the Reservation, started yelling, "Ar-nold sucks! Ar-nold sucks! Ar-nold sucks!" Once Junior walked into the gym all of the chanting stopped, instead all of the "crazy Indians" turned there backs on the team.              During the time this incident was occurring his coach was telling him that he didn't need to play and supporting him. His team on the other hand was showing absolutely no sportsmanship. When the room go silent and the crowed had there backs on the team Junior and his team mates started to laugh at the fans.
