About this ebook
Jake Maddox
Who is Jake Maddox? Athlete, author, world-traveler – or all three? He has surfed in Hawaii, scuba-dived in Australia, and climbed the mountains of Peru and Alaska. His books range from the most popular team sports to outdoor activities to survival adventures and even to auto racing. His exploits have inspired numerous writers to walk in his footsteps – literally! Each of his stories is stamped with teamwork, fair play, and a strong sense of self-worth and discipline. Always a team-player, Maddox realizes it takes more than one man (or woman) to create a book good enough for a young reader. He hopes the lessons learned on the court, field, or arena and the champion sprinter pace of his books can motivate kids to become better athletes and lifelong readers.

CHAPTER 1
CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
Henry looked across the net and waited for the serve. His opponent struck the ball.
Quickly, Henry moved to his right and swung his racquet back. He stepped toward the ball and ripped a wicked shot across the net. The ball soared deep into the corner.
His opponent reached his racquet for the ball, but he couldn’t get it. Henry had scored another point.
Henry had already won the first set of the match. In the second set, he was ahead five games to two. The first player to win two sets would win the match. If Henry could win this set, he’d be the match winner. He knew he could do it.
Henry loved tennis. Even though this was his first summer playing, he thought it was way more fun than any other sport he had ever played.
Max, Henry’s best friend, had convinced him to play. Now tennis was taking over Henry’s life. He played for hours nearly every day.
Thanks to all the practice, Henry had gotten really good. Now he was playing for the third-place trophy in the final city tournament of the summer.
