We meet Principal Daniels. She is a black, female principal who seems very strong in her role. She speaks to Coach Jones at school about concerns regarding Radio going with them on the trip. She questions the Coach's motives, and asks if Radio is a 'glorified mascot'. She talks to Coach Jones about concerns she has about 'being around a mentally challenged boy'. Principal Daniels says "Folks don't understand yet; but they'll catch on."
Eventually after their discussion, the Coach changes his mind about Radio attending the trip. He told Radio that he couldn't come, and the scene ends with Radio standing in the pouring rain as the football team bus pulls away. Radio stands in the rain listening to the radio and acting out the plays as he hears them called out.
