The award-winning author of "The Contender" delivers an absorbing, eye-opening glimpse into the increasingly high-stakes world of high school football, where everyone--coaches, parents, and players--knows that winning really is the only option, no matter the cost.
by Eric Walters
When a division one coach comes to their smaller school to bring the football program up to contender status, Moose and the rest of the players on the team are pumped. With a new training regimen, everything seems to be on a winning track. But when Moose and others are offered steroids, tempers start to fray and the teammates have to decide whose side they are on.
Life, Love, and the Pursuit of Free Throws
by Janette Rallison
Josie loves hottie Ethan Lancaster, the captain of the basketball team, but she never can do or say the right thing in front of him. So how can it be fair that Ethan is only interested in her best friend, Cami, when Cami isn't even trying for his affection?

All his life, crowds have been cheering for Nick Taglio. He's been skating since he could walk, scoring goals since he picked up a hockey stick. But when he gets yet another concussion, his doctor, his parents, and his coach tell him he can never play again. Too dangerous, they say. He can't risk his future. But they don't understand that without hockey, Nick has no future. It's not a game, it's his life. And nobody can stop him from playing.
