Clark wanted to join the Smallville Crows football team just to be close with his secret love Lana, who is on the cheerleading squad. His parents won't let him though because of his special gifts that he might hurt somebody. He later did what he wanted and joined the team. The football coach Walt possesses some kind of evil power that whenever he gets mad, he can somehow able to control fire. On practice, Clark shows his ability that he can play football just like his old man. His power I think came from the kryptonite rocks from the sauna he uses. A team meeting occured at night and the coach gets angry and fire started to shoot out of the sprinklers. The team witnesses it, and so as Chloe. The hothead coach finds out that Chloe knew about his powers so she became his target and wanted to kill her by burning the place where she was doing the papers for the school. She was saved just in time by Clark. Lana quits cheerleading and started working in a cafe as a waitress. Soon she finds out that being a waitress is not what suit her. Plus she broke too many dishes. Now that Lana's out of the cheerleading squad, there is no point of Clark showing off his skills in football so he quits too.
