    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.

      Hoop Doctor - Jake Maddox

      Chapter 1

      KELSEY’S SECRET

      BEEP! As the buzzer sounded, the ball dropped through the basket for the last time. Girls jumped off the bench and poured onto the court. They were all cheering. At one end of the gym, the scoreboard read, Tigers, 45 – Raiders, 43.

      The tall girl who had made the final basket stood in the middle of the court. She smiled as the Tigers quickly surrounded her. The Raiders filed off the court.

      Kelsey Peters, still panting from the game, stood by herself. She watched her teammates celebrate, her hands hanging limply at her sides. Then she turned and slowly walked toward the locker room.

      Hey, Kelsey, where are you going? one of the girls shouted. Your sister just won the game for us! We’re going to the regional championships!

      Kelsey looked back and gave the group a little wave. Then she pushed open the door of the locker room and let it swing shut behind her.

      The room was quiet. She could hardly hear the noise from the gym. Kelsey sat down on one of the benches and rested her head in her hands. She knew that her sister, Erin, would wonder where she was, but she didn’t care.

      Kelsey was just glad the last regular game of the season was over.

      Just one more game, Kelsey told herself. One more. No one knew that she was going to quit basketball forever after the regional championships were over. It was her secret.

      Kelsey opened her locker. Wham! The locker room door slammed open so hard that it banged against the wall. Kelsey started stuffing her things into her gym bag. Then a girl with dark curly hair bounded into the room.

      Hey! Kelsey’s best friend, Liz,
