Author Description

<p><i>Can You Keep A Secret?</i> is the first in a series of books called <b><i>Friday Night Football: Western High School</i></b> that chronicles a high school football team in the metro Detroit area. The series intends to focus on contemporary sports issues by discussing them intelligently in the context of an entertaining, yet realistic high school football environment. The author, Jeff Pine, wanted to portray a gritty and sometimes not always pretty picture of high school football without losing the respect for the game and the individuals who play and coach it. If you're looking for <i>Gil Thorp</i>, this is <b>NOT</b> the book for you. </p> <p>This novel chronicles three gripping stories: the first focuses on your all-American running back, Steve Dentry, who has a family secret to hide; the second exposes two upperclassmen, Tony Sharp and Jeff Iaonucci, who cut corners to get stronger by taking steroids; and the third is about the new senior quarterback, Ty Rogers, who has never started a game at QB in his high school career. Watch the Western High Eagles as they emerge under the tutelage of new, young, and energetic Coach Fisher from perennial doormats to a possible playoff contender. </p> <p>Intended for mature readers over 16 years old.</p>
