A hard hit makes twelve-year-old wide receiver Clay Hollis fearful of concussions, and it affects his performance. But Clay's also worried about his coach/mentor, a former Dallas Cowboy who exhibits increasingly odd behavior and memory loss. The fast-paced football action is engaging, but this story's heart is its timely focus on concussive injuries and the moving relationship between Coach Cooper and his players.
