HAGERMAN: OUT OF JAIL AND ON THE FIELD

by Tony Reeve

Football is not a sport, but a religion in Rocky Montoya’s hometown of Premium, Texas. As the handsome, star quarterback of the Premium High School football team, Rocky is worshipped by the whole town and develops a cocky arrogance. Yet his father deserted his family, and his waitress mother is too busy with her own life to pay much attention to him.

Then, one night, Rocky’s life is turned upside down after he's blamed for losing the state championship. His popularity plummets, the team shuns him as an outcast, and his cheerleader girlfriend wants nothing more to do with him. Devastated, he heads on an alcohol-fueled rampage of self-destruction that ends in a serious altercation with the Premium police.

He makes a deal with a compassionate judge to attend Hagerman Military School instead of serving jail time. At Hagerman, Rocky struggles to survive by learning some life lessons about leadership, perseverance, discipline and humility as he attempts to revive his once promising football career.

Great read

I really enjoyed this story and the challenges Rocky had to overcome.
It was a predictable outcome, but expected it from the beginning.
Quite a bit of editing and proofreading would make this an easier book to read, that is mostly why I rated this a three.

Quick read

Very good storyline. Interesting characters. Took me less than 3 hours to blow through it. A definite page turner. Would have liked a glimpse into the protagonist's future.

He's the town hero and has the attitude to prove it but a poor choice one night puts Rocky Montoya in military school. This is where the real story begins. Here is where young Rocky learns to be a selfless man.

Don't let the cover fool you. It's not just a football story. It is much more.
