Football

by Don Skiles

Overview

"Football" by Don Skiles is a powerful character-driven tale using high school football as a framework in which to examine teenage life in Western Pennsylvania. This thoughtful story follows Larry Simmons through several life-changing events as 1957 looms on the horizon. Should he continue his athletic aspirations? Will he be inspired by more poetry? What does high school mean to him? And what is happening with Cameron Mitchell?
