Louie Banks is a senior in high school and has everything he could ever want. A cute girl friend and one of the top stars on the football team he's got it going on. He is definitely on top of the food chain until he defies the coach's game plan to purposefully injure one of the players from a rival team. He makes a scene of throwing off his helmet on the football field and this creates a year long feud between him, the coach, and the principal. Things are pretty rocky from then on out but he still has his girlfriend... until that also changes. His life is ripped apart and he has a hard time getting it put back together, especially with everyone at his high school knowing everything about him.
Review: Great book of football and life's problems
