What is the resolution to the story's conflict?
The players end racial prejudice in their town.
Neto makes it known how the racism from the crowd
has affected him.
Crowd members stop shouting racist comments at
football games.
Since that letter was read, there have been no more racial
slurs from the Marsing Husky fans, at least none loud
enough for the players to hear. Neto and Andy know that
they and Jesse and Rigo and Johnny didn't do away with
racial prejudice in their town. Many white parents still
won't let their sons and daughters date Hispanics, and
the two groups still don't mix much outside school. But
they also know that they did what no one before them
had done. "At least," says Neto, "we made it known that
we wouldn't accept racism in our school or from our fans.
We made a difference in the part of our lives that we
really could control."
