(4) 4-6 Triple Threat series. New freshman Alex Myers has a "golden arm," but he has little chance at quarterback as brusque Coach Gordon's son, Matt, owns the spot. But Matt is supportive of Alex, as is Christine, a school newspaper reporter digging for a scoop about the team. The lengthy underdog story, complete with action-packed football details, feels drawn-out as readers wait for the championship game.
