Friday Night Lights by H.G. Bissinger

It still the pre season and scouts were beginning to look at one kid on the team, Booby Miles. He was an all star the previous season and his dream was to play in college, and one day, in the pros. Which is why Booby fully understood that his chances of playing in the pros depended on this season, his senior year. In the first scrimmage, Booby started out well. But then, on one good run, someone fell on his knee. Booby got up limping. As the doctor was evaluating him, he continuously asked, "how long will I be out for?" The doctor told him it could be 6-8 weeks. Booby knows that he does not have 6-8 weeks to waste if he ever wants to play college ball. So what should he do?
