A little about the story
Third down, four yards to gain: Hillton College is fighting St. Eustace on the football field, and the season is full of injuries, rivalries and hard decisions. A young player with a disability finds his own way to contribute, and friendships are tested on and off the field.
Ralph Henry Barbour was the master of the American college sports story, and this one has real heart.
