Bookroo's summary

Roman, the Bulldogs' point guard, faces a dilemma when the team's new center, Sebastian, struggles with coordination. As the season progresses, Roman must devise a plan to help Sebastian find his footing. Will they manage to turn the team's fortunes around, or will their hopes for victory slip away? The clock is ticking, and the stakes are high in this gripping sports tale.

From the publisher

Roman is the point guard for the Bulldogs, and he’s worried about his team and their startling lack of a center. But when big man Sebastian shows up, the Bulldogs are ecstatic . . . until they see that Sebastian’s coordination hasn’t caught up with his body yet. Can Roman and Bash work out a plan to catch the big man up to speed before the season run out?
