Title: Fourth and Forever
Description: Not sex. Football. Not drugs. Football. Not rock ‘n’ ro. . . okay, wait. Maybe rock ‘n’ roll. At Riverton High School, football is life. That is until sex and drugs screw it up.
High school quarterback Lance “Tuff” Stratton really only wants two things—to score with his girlfriend Amy and to win the Washington State
8-man football championship. Amy seems to be coming around, and Lance’s teammates, the Riverton River Otters, are pulling together at the right time. But alcohol and small-town bravado result in tragedy and may combine to ruin any hope Lance has for a run at the trophy.
This young adult novel features fast-paced gridiron action and an inside look at the high school halls of small-town America. Racism, peer pressure, drug and alcohol abuse, bullying, and teen pregnancy--these issues are just part of the first quarter action for students at Riverton High. Join Lance and his friends for a journey into the locker room, and into the heart.
