Jake practically screamed as the unfortunate kid in question started on the first of his five laps around the field. His tone was different today than it had been before. Jake always shouted. But shouting and angry were two different things, and Jake was rarely angry. Today he was, though, and the kids could tell. Dark was soon approaching, but no one dared hope it meant the end of practice was coming. Even Troy was frowning at the man and watching the kids closely. He seemed to want to step in, but apparently even Troy knew enough to be afraid of Jake when he was in a mood. He also knew that no matter how angry he was, Jake would never let the kids come to harm.Brandon stood nearby, nearly wincing, though more at Jake's language than the tone. But the angry note was a little distressing. Brandon knew Jake wouldn't have the reputation of an excellent coach if he truly abused the kids. Still, in Brandon's own quiet opinion, the kids needed to be running more. They needed to build up their endurance.
