Ashley realizes that the Essex High football team is more than a team to her. It is her family. Coach and his wife, Annie, take her in when her situation at home becomes intolerable.This story is filled with humor, especially the relationship between Coach and his players, as the Essex High Red Demons march toward a championship with the help of an unlikely source, Ashley Anderson.This is also a hard hitting, unorthodox story about a high school team that has the talent to attain what most other teams can only dream about-an undefeated season and a number-one ranking in the all-important newspaper polls. This book captures the desire, dedication and sacrifice it takes to be champions.
