About This Book

A lively boys' sports story traces a young player's experiences with teammates, coaches, and the challenges of a football season. Episodes range from travel and hotel mishaps to practice drills, tactical preparations, locker-room confidences, and disputed plays, while personal subplots involve friendship, financial squeezes, and decisions about commitment to the team. The narrative balances on-field action with off-field schemes and character moments, highlighting teamwork, perseverance, and the physical and strategic demands of the game as the squad confronts obstacles and aims for a triumphant conclusion.
