Another school year is beginning at Macdonald Hall. But instead of coming back to the recreation centre they'd requested, Bruno and Boots find a brand new football field, paid for by Hank (the Tank) Carson — ex-football player and current zucchini-snack tycoon. Hank offers the students a deal: if they pull together a winning football team, he'll build them a rec-center. But the Macdonald Hall Warriors stink. Their saving grace? The new star quarterback: Cathy Burton — from Miss Scrimmage's Finishing School for Young Ladies.
