When Liam becomes one of the only sophomores to play on the varsity basketball team, he is beyond excited! His excitement, however, begins to fade as he learns more about the team's coach. To begin with, the coach and other team members racially discriminate against one of the team's players. Also, the coach's mandatory prayer meetings cause Liam some concern. Needless to say, as Liam discovers more about the varsity team and its coach, he feels he must make a stand. Will he stand up for his beliefs? Will he make a difference?
Personal Thoughts: While this novel centers on the game of basketball, Coy addresses raises many concerns. Many readers will relate to Liam and his struggles. Great choice for fans of sports fiction!
