So Jake goes out for granger and plays after Casey Lindel plays the first two drives. In the previous game Casey had been gaining momentum and was doing good compared to Jake who was going cold. Casey was playing an awful first two drives and Jake had a major opening. And he took advantage of it. Jake played almost a perfect game and just balled. Later that night after being embarassed by a freshman, Casey went after Jake and was looking for a fight. Jake declined, he wanted to keep the team together and Casey wanted to be on top.

Thye next week Jake had the start over Casey and played almost the whole game and was on it. that night Caseywas looking for more action. Jake was sitting on a bench talking to the girl he liked most sarah outside a restraunt on a street corner when Casey found them. Casey had also liked this girl and he was outraged beyond belief. He yelled at sarah calling her all these nasty names and Jake was preparing for a fight. But then superman comes in, Calvin Morton, the superstar reciever intervienes with them and is angry. Calvin has become especially close to jake between the times they talked and the fact that Jake did the one thing Calvin loved from QB`s, give him the ball. Calvin runs in and puts Casey in his place in front of half the team and Sarah Rayburn causing Casey Lindell to Silently retreat and backdown. How will the team respond after hearing about Casey attacking Jake and Calvin putting down Casey?

So one day the granger cowboys are playing there game against a rival who should be better than them this year. And jake was the starter, he played an incredible game carrying the team on his back leading them to an impressive victory which was great for him and the team, but it wasn't great for his father who had left earlier that day to watch Wyatt and Texas take in Kansas and end up losing bad.
 Jake isn't sure how to handle never having his dad being there for him and it really bums him out. So after one game he finds Calvin Morton sitting in the stands and like always he rudely greets jake. Jake and Calvin sit together and jake tells Calvin about his dad and Calvin responds bitterly."have you ever seen my dad in the stands cheering me or even heared of him." He asked. Calvin's dad left him when he was 5 leaving him alone and angry, he shows jake how to resent his dad and focus on the family who does care about you. How will jake respond to this in the book?
