Once in a while you get a second chance. For Travis Cody this is one of those times. His team, the Oil Camp Roughnecks, is facing the Pineview Pelicans for the state championship.

Forty-eight minutes to redeem himself for letting Grooms break him on the play that cost the Roughnecks an undefeated season. Forty-eight minutes to prove he isn’t a quitter.

About this title

Review:

Time passes, and it's impossible to call a time-out in the middle of life. Travis Cody learns many of these lessons on the football field, head-to-head against the competition. Is he a winner or a loser? A single play could change the whole texture of his life--or could it? In his brilliant debut novel, Thomas Cochran takes us out on the gridiron and inside the mind of Travis Cody, a high-school senior preparing for the most important game of his life. With the whole town of Oil Camp watching his performance on the field, Travis may find the courage to learn an even bigger lesson: defining the truth is more important than simply facing it.
