“This book has been such a breath of fresh air. Reminding me why I sit on bleachers and what a community is all about. Most importantly what high school football is all about. I read the book 3 times.”<\/span><\/strong>
“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.”<\/span><\/strong>
“A page turner…I’m sorry it’s over! Is a sequel in the works?”<\/span><\/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…”<\/span><\/strong>
“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.”<\/span><\/strong>
\u201cThis is a great read for everyone: from those who love high school football to those who have no idea about the game.\u201d<\/span><\/strong>
