Raiders Night By Robert Lipsyte

I am getting close to the end of the book, and it still seems to be getting better and better the more I read. Football camp has now ended and the real football season has begun for Matt. The only problem is, its hard for him to focus on football with all the other things going on. His old girlfriend Mandy is still an issue, although Matt does not seem to care much about that situation, he still wishes that he never had to see his father, and he has one other serious problem. Throughout the camp, the other co-captain, Ramp had been picking on the Chris (the new kid). Matt tried his best to look away from it, he wanted to tell Ramp to stop but knew that it would be better not to say anything. However, on the last night of camp Ramp went way out of line. Matt is really bothered by this and is unsure of what he should do, but he knows he has to do something.
