Game Face series.
Eighth grader Chase's hard work pays off when he is pulled up to play on the varsity football team with his best friend, Tripp. But when Tripp blacks out during a game, Chase is torn between reporting the concussion and risking his friendship. This series-opener plods along at points and its dialogue is stiff, but the action picks up during the football scenes.
