“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>
