About this audiobook
Bestselling sportswriter John Feinstein kicks off a new series for middle grade featuring Alex Myers--Alex is a quarterback. But from the first day of practice, it’s clear that the position is filled by the coach’s son, Matt. Alex finally gets a chance at it when Matt is injured, and he helps win a key game for the state championship. But just when his star is rising, Alex gets blindsided. The state has started drug testing, and Alex’s test comes back positive for steroids.
