I have a different interpretation.  What I think is being forgotten is (IIRC) 
that Silk catches the ball and wins the game for the younger boys by intercepting 
a pass to Horn, who would have won the game for the older boys. Silk does not glory 
in his win, but considers it a teachable moment. It is youthful Horn who is chagrined 
and I tend to connect the exultant phrase above more with Horn.
 
But here is the main thing: In that scene, Silk is a Father-figure.  Horn is a
Son-figure. At that moment, Silk is enlightened by The Outsider, so the Holy
Spirit is there also.
 
This is one reason why I find James' theory of Silk/Horn/Neighbor is so powerful. 
Matched with the first scene in the story (as it must be), this scene/phrase is 
one of consolidation/unification, rather than separation (imho).
