Synopsis

With the whole town watching, Travis Cody prepares for the most important football game of his life. He’ll have forty-eight minutes to prove he isn’t a quitter and to redeem himself for letting Grooms break him on the play that cost the Roughnecks an undefeated regular season. And as Travis says, football is about lining up against somebody and finding out who can and who can’t, who’s a winner and who’s a loser. It’s about facing--and defining--the truth about yourself. “A promising debut: thematically complex, strongly written.”--Kirkus Reviews
