Center Seth Martin and quarterback Zander Schmitt, his best friend, were the dynamic duo of the Oak Valley Vipers football team.

Until Zander suddenly moves away midseason and now everything feels off to Seth. The rookie punter is struggling to find his footing, the snaps just aren’t connecting with the new QB, and the Vipers’ winning streak is slipping away. Will Seth learn to work with his new teammates or will this season be his biggest fumble?

Jake Maddox
Who is Jake Maddox? Athlete, author, world-traveler – or all three? He has surfed in Hawaii, scuba-dived in Australia, and climbed the mountains of Peru and Alaska. His books range from the most popular team sports to outdoor activities to survival adventures and even to auto racing. His exploits have inspired numerous writers to walk in his footsteps – literally! Each of his stories is stamped with teamwork, fair play, and a strong sense of self-worth and discipline. Always a team-player, Maddox realizes it takes more than one man (or woman) to create a book good enough for a young reader. He hopes the lessons learned on the court, field, or arena and the champion sprinter pace of his books can motivate kids to become better athletes and lifelong readers.
