In Ray Wisniewski's New Jersey town, Polish American boys are expected to wrestle, African Americans to play basketball. When Ray makes the basketball team his senior year, he's one of the few non–African American players. Throughout the story, layers of racism are revealed in unexpected places--in Ray's family, his friends, and himself. The basketball action and adolescent dialogue are authentic, providing a solid background for its ambitious topic.
