4-6Fred Bowen Sports Story series.
Nate Osborne is on a competitive U-14 soccer team training hard to avenge their U-13 championship loss. While Nate's aunt, a former Division I player, helps with his goal-scoring, she also teaches Nate the value of winning the right way, a lesson not easily accepted by his team. The approachable, if preachy, sports novel includes an appendix with real-life stories of sportsmanship.
