About This Book
The narrative follows Jeff Thatcher, a talented young athlete at a boarding school who faces rivalry, false accusations of dirty play, and attempts to sabotage his athletic career. After incidents including a deliberate foul, a violent wreck and a damaging fire, Thatcher contends with injury, benching, and scheming teammates while forming alliances, rescuing a victim, and confronting moral choices. Training, indoor practice, and the scramble for positions culminate in a decisive championship game, where perseverance, team loyalty, and honest play determine his standing and the team's fate.
