From New York Times bestselling author and former NFL defensive end
Tim Green comes a football story about a boy who is given a chance to
prove that wealth and privilege don't matter on the football field, as
long as he has the skills to compete. Perfect for fans of Mike Lupica!
Cory has always been passionate about football. But life for him and his
single mom has been hard, making it difficult for Cory to play. And
though Cory is a good kid, he's constantly surrounded by negative
influences. But when the coach from an elite private school with one of
the best football programs in the country recognizes his talents on the
field, Cory is presented with an unbelievable opportunity.
Cory knows that football could be his ticket out. But leaving to attend
private school also means struggling to fit into a world where most
people look at him and just see a scholarship kid from the wrong side of
town. Cory knows that if he can fight hard enough--both on and off the
field--he may be able to secure a bright future that looks different
from his unpromising past.
