Monster back Cody martin loves football. Since he first tossed a pigskin, he's imagined playing for the NFL. But lately the thirteen-year-old, all-around athlete can't get his head-or heart-into the game. His number one fan is not longer in the stands. And the anger of a grudge-holding football coach pushes Cody to the brink-until he finds the true spirit of the game.

Despite his own self-doubt and the ache that still lingers in his heart, eighth-grader Cody Martin survives the cut to become the eleventh man on the basketball team. Because Cody is unwilling to be on the bottom for long, the pressure is on to provide "Dawg Pack" defense against a snarling opponent. But does Cody have the courage and maturity to face his foes and defend a fellow student?

Fourteen-year-old Cody Martin is up to bat, and the pitcher is none other than "Madman" Madison, master of the 70-mile-per-hour blazer. It's been a rough season with more losses than wins, and the game is a squeaker when Cody's win-crazy coach insists he "take one for the team." Cody's already gone the extra inning for his teammates, but what more will he be willing to sacrifice—especially considering what happened exactly one year ago? In the end Cody learns that while some sacrifices result in pain, others lead to healing.

Stand-out efforts on the freshman football and basketball teams have Cody Martin in demand with both the track and baseball coaches. And to complicate matters further, his personal life's a mess since his dad remarried-and now Cody thinks Pork Chop might be using performance-enhancing drugs. When Pork Chop's coach confronts Cody, he is forced to make a tough decision-lie to the coach or risk losing his best friend. What's the right thing to do?
