From the publisher

What’s it mean to think team? It means you don’t talk team business with anybody who isn’t on the team. It means whatever happens inside the team stays inside. It means you can only trust a brother Raider. Any questions?At Nearmont High School, football stars are treated like royalty, and Matt Rydek has just ascended to the throne. He’s got it all: hot girls, chill friends, plenty of juice to make him strong, and a winning team poised to go all the way. If he can keep his eye on the ball now, his future will be set. But when the team turns on one of its own, should Matt play by Raiders rules, or should he go long alone?
