About this ebook
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.

CHAPTER 1
STATS GUY
While the Wildcats played against the Buccaneers in front of him, Noah Hart sat on the bench.
His sports magazine was folded open on his left thigh. Under his helmet, on the bench next to him, was his big book of stats.
Noah’s eyes stayed on the magazine. He scanned quickly through the article on a college running back.
The writer thought a college player, Jack Tyler, was going to be a great NFL player. Lots of pro teams wanted to draft him as soon as he graduated, since he was so amazing.
Noah wasn’t convinced.
Look at this,
Noah said to the player next to him, Adam Glick. He didn’t look up from the article. While he talked, he picked up the pen on his notebook and scribbled down some figures.
This article says Jack Tyler is going to be the next big running back,
Noah went on. But look at these stats from late last season.
