Quarterback Duel

by Sal Maiorana

Overview

Back in the 1940s and 1950s, former basketball coach Clair Bee conceived the Chip Hilton Sports Series and authored more than 20 books chronicling the fictional exploits of three-sport high school star Chip Hilton and his group of friends/teammates. Meet Casey Carter, the 21st century reincarnation of Chip Hilton. Like Chip, Casey is a member of the varsity football, basketball and baseball teams at River View High, and in the first book of this exciting new youth sports series, the 15-year-old sophomore is in line to become the starting quarterback of the championship-contending Eagles. However, his journey is a difficult one as a jealous and vindictive senior named Steve Northcutt, who has served as the backup quarterback the previous two years, staunchly believes he should be the starter. Northcutt plots a devious scheme to derail Casey, and the two boys engage in a season-long conflict that hinders the Eagles in their quest to win the conference title. In this fast-moving story that is loaded with thrilling high school football action, you will meet Casey and all his buddies - Kevin McDonald, Danny Valentine, Curtis Winthrop, Kyle Kozlowski, and the brothers Matty and Eddie Harkness - as they begin their varsity sports careers. If you are a middle or high school-aged student who loves sports, the Casey Carter Sports Series will be a must-read..
