His sandy hair, grey eyes, and athletic build made him a favourite of the girls when he was growing up, but truthfully, although he never lacked for female company, his true love was always football.

With the flair that has made her Last Chance books a favorite among readers of contemporary fiction, Cathleen Armstrong draws on the passion Americans have for the traditions of small-town high school football.
