About This Book

A high-school football captain must rally his teammates after a classmate secretly betrays the team's signal code to rivals. The plot follows the discovery and verification of the leak, the principal and coach confronting the offense, and the squad's rapid adoption of new signals and tactics to preserve competitive integrity. Through practices, pivotal games, and schoolwide reactions, the narrative examines leadership, team loyalty, honor in competition, and how a community responds to treachery while restoring morale and collective pride.
