520 "This captivating, character-rich story is set against the
back-drop of one of the most pressing questions in sports:
Should we let our sons play football? At the high end of
America's most popular game is the glittering NFL, a fan-
stoked money machine and also an opaque enterprise under
scrutiny for the physical dangers imposed on its players.
Then there's high school football, unrivaled for the
crucial life lessons it imparts-discipline, leadership,
cooperation, humility, perseverance-yet also a brain-
rattling, bone-breaking game whose consequences are at
best misunderstood, and, at the very worst, deadly. What
is the parent of a young athlete to make of that? The New
Rochelle High School team in suburban New York is like
many across the country: a source of civic pride, a
manhood workshop for a revered coach and an emotional
proving ground for boys of widely different backgrounds.
In the fall of 2014, New Rochelle's season unfolded
alongside watershed NFL head injury revelations and
domestic abuse cases (remember Ray Rice?), as well as
fatalities on nearby fields. The dramatic story of that
season, for players, parents and coaches, underscores
fundamental questions. Are football's inherent risks so
great that the sport may not survive as we know it? Or are
those risks worth the rewards that the game continues to
bestow, and that can stay with a young man for a
lifetime?" --|cDust jacket flap.
