Eighth grader Matt Monroe is a shoo-in for starting quarterback for
the Parkside Middle School football team this year. Or so he thinks.
Devro, a new seventh grader, looks impressive. He's consistent and can
run the plays almost as well as Matt. And he's got speed. Could he ruin
Matt's chances of taking the position as quarterback? Utilizing Matt's
journal, author Fred Bowen shows readers the importance of reflection
and teamwork as one strives to be a better player.
In the afterword, Bowen shares the real story of Instant Replay: The
Green Bay Diary of Jerry Kramer, a book by Green Bay Packers offensive
lineman Jerry Kramer and sportswriter Dick Schaap covering the 1967
Green Bay Packers Super Bowl-winning season.
