"Friday night (high school football) meets the Manning Brothers." High school freshman, Jake Culen, is not sure he likes the position he's in. His father is a local football legend in Granger, Texas, and his older brother, Wyatt, is a can't miss QB prospect who led the varsity team to the state title last season. Of course, expectations are that Jake will follow in their footsteps. His father attends Jake's games only when they don't conflict with Wyatt's. One of the young coaches on the team takes Jake under his wing and alters his throw from what his QB father had taught him. The consequences are monumental both on field and off. Although there was a bit too much play by play for my taste, this was an engaging read and I must admit caused me to learn much about the game and develop an appreciation for it and for high school football in particular.
