* KnowWhenToFoldEm: T.J. and C.J. are fine with rallying their friends, as the game ties repeatedly. Then they see both Pricklys arguing, and their embarrassed expressions are identical.

Added DiffLines:

* EveryoneHasStandards: The kids stop playing when they see their principals getting into a petty argument with the referee about if Gus got a strike or received a ball. They look embarrassed by the display in dramatics. T.J. and C.J. talk and they agree to a draw.
* FromTheMouthsOfBabes: It ends up being the kids that teach the adults something; kickball is just a game. Playing matters more than who wins or loses.
