well, let’s not talk about that. Harv is not a great
athlete, but he’s very smart. Harv has a very bright
sister (Liz) who takes a liking to Carlos. The only
problem is ... her dad (Ted) does not want his kids
around Hispanics – find out why. Carlos and Harv square
a deal to help each other become successful behind their
parents’ back – find out how. Can the two cultures come
together? Can Carlos and Harv help the Gervais Cougars
make it to state? One of the friends gets kidnapped,
who is it? How do we measure wealth – is it really
always about money? This fiction story has true places.
It is also full of sports, humor, first love, and
mystery. |

the mold in every way, shape and form. Where myth stops

Beware! None who read this saga will be immune to the
‘Irresistible Jones’ that draws humans to the game,
like moths to the flame. |
