He’s in it to win it. But when he brings in a troubled teen as a ringer, is the price of success too high? Vietnam vet Donny Doyle has a job no one wants: coaching Tsalagee High’s basement-dwelling football team. And despite the school’s decade-long record of failure, he promises to deliver the backwater Oklahoma town a state championship. But the only way to do it is to recruit a terrifying, mammoth kid straight out of juvenile detention. Battling his own PTSD, Coach Doyle struggles to tame his ticking time bomb of a player into a disciplined gridiron beast. And after a fast five-win start, Doyle’s fears come true when a celebration-gone-wrong turns into a possible season suspension for his undefeatable star. Can the gritty former Marine engineer a drive to the Promised Land before his entire squad self-destructs? GAME, an American Novel is a fascinating insight into high school football.
