The boys are on the school paper, writing about after-school clubs as only they can ("Chess Team...Fun time or deadly sport?"). The brothers pose as members of the Glee Club, where they question the meaning of "glee"; Debate Club, where they debate the merits of Mel cleaning his room; and Future Farmers of America, where the future looks bleak...and they write about what really goes on in these clubs.

Facts...Are they true...or are they deadly?

Owen Evans lights up the scoreboards. His brother, Russell, rocks the school boards. These twin brothers couldn't be more different.

When someone tries to steal Russell's spot as captain of the mathlete team, will the two be able to put aside their differences in order to save his position? Or will they be sidelined?
