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.
