Every time they got to come out with some kind of determination to be a good basketball team, and [until] then, we’re just, we’re fooling ourselves. Right now, that’s what we’re doing. We’re just making a ‘sham-mockery’ out of it.”- Then Los Angeles Lakers HC\u00a0Mike D’Antoni\u00a0after the Lakers lost to\u00a0the\u00a0Washington Wizards in March 2013.<\/p>\n

\""Anyone<\/a>

“Anyone who has a kid trying out for his High School football team needs to read this book. Torosian has taken his 20 some years of reporting on Prep sports, mixed a healthy dose of San Gabriel Valley insider references and created a very readable first effort.”<\/strong><\/span>
“A page turner…I’m sorry it’s over! Is a sequel in the works?”<\/strong>
“Torosian does for high school football what Hemingway did for the Spanish Civil War…compelling look beyond the scoreboard and into the lives of players…”<\/strong><\/span>
“A truly great story unfolds in the pages of Joe Torosian’s first novel. With high school football at its core, the story of Dale Andrade shows how a young man grows in all aspects of his life thanks to being a part of a team and a football community.”<\/strong><\/span>
\u201cThis is a great read for everyone: from those who love high school football to those who have no idea about the game.\u201d<\/strong><\/span>
