Lol yea me too. One of them came back with the dad as the dad made him apologize.. he later became an assistant coach. The other one (buddy?) just reappeared on the team. Imdb says there was a scene that explained it but it ended up getting cut
The Blu-ray has the deleted scene, it should have been left in. I saw the film in Germany when it was released. Me and a friend looked at each other and were like "WTF, how did Buddy get back on the team".
