    Jake Maddox

    Who is Jake Maddox? Athlete, author, world-traveler – or all three? He has surfed in Hawaii, scuba-dived in Australia, and climbed the mountains of Peru and Alaska. His books range from the most popular team sports to outdoor activities to survival adventures and even to auto racing. His exploits have inspired numerous writers to walk in his footsteps – literally! Each of his stories is stamped with teamwork, fair play, and a strong sense of self-worth and discipline. Always a team-player, Maddox realizes it takes more than one man (or woman) to create a book good enough for a young reader. He hopes the lessons learned on the court, field, or arena and the champion sprinter pace of his books can motivate kids to become better athletes and lifelong readers.

      CHAPTER 1

      IMPROVISED

      It was Thursday afternoon. At Westfield Junior High, the eighth-grade Wildcats football team was having practice.

      Carlos Suarez, the star quarterback, crouched five yards behind his center for a shotgun snap. Hut! he shouted. Hut!

      After a pause, the center snapped the ball. Carlos caught it perfectly and turned to his right. The running back came around him for the handoff.

      Carlos was only five yards from the end zone when the defender caught him. Carlos felt the tackler’s arms close around his waist.

      But Carlos was just as big as the defender, and he didn’t go down. He dragged the tackler right into the end zone with him.

      Touchdown! Coach French shouted, blowing his whistle. Nice play, Carlos, he added.

      Thanks, Coach, Carlos said. He walked over to the coach and tossed him the football.

      The coach turned to the rest of the team. "Did everyone see
