#6 - Jonathon "Mox" Moxon - "Varsity Blues"
The kid really didn't have any desire to be the starting QB for the West Canaan Coyotes. That was Lance Harbor's job. Lance was the star. Mox was just content riding the pine, putting philosophy books over his playbook and trying to get into Brown University and getting out of West Canaan, Texas. Well Billy Bob missed a block because his 'Cat' was messed up and down goes Lance. Enter Mox, a kid with his own set of ideals and a scattered view of the town he has grown up in. I think that is what I like about Mox. He didn't really care what everybody thought of him, not even Hall of Fame Coach Bud Kilmer. Mox had a good arm, he broke his daddy's nose in an impromptu game of "William Tell" and he had Balls. He stood up for Wendall when he wasn't getting his carries and scores. He brought Billy Bob back down to earth and respected Lance and the team minus Kilmer. Great teammate, Great friend, Great leader.
Mox: In America, we have laws. Laws against killing, laws against stealing. And it is just accepted that as a member of American society, you will live by these laws. In West Canaan, Texas, there is another society which has it's own laws. Football is a way of life.
Jonathon "Mox' Moxon: If we go out and half-ass it 'cause we're scared, then we'll always wonder if we were really good enough. But if we go out there and give it all we've got... that's heroic. You guys wanna be heroes?
