    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.

      The Rangers were a tough team, and Ryan knew they weren’t about to let up now. Not when the state tournament was just two wins away.

      Let’s go, Hammers! a fan shouted. Immediately, the rest of the Hillcrest basketball fans stomped their feet on the wooden bleachers. It sounded like thunder, and Ryan couldn’t help but smile.

      As Ryan crossed midcourt, he passed the ball to his teammate Josh. He watched as Josh dribbled to the left of the key and stopped, blocked by Rangers number 14. Josh jumped and faked a shot to the hoop. Then he pivoted on his right foot and fired a pass to Stefan. A quick Rangers defender snatched the ball and headed down court.

      Big defense, guys! Ryan shouted as the Hammers raced to the other end of the court to defend their hoop. He stuck close to his guy, number 3. Ryan glanced at the clock. There
