Texas Fridays (Set)
In Texas Fridays, six high school football teams are profiled from the perspective of a single player. Each young man struggles in his own way to avoid injuries, deal with personal relationships, and recruiting pressure--all while stepping into the role of the star player. The pomp and pageantry of Texas high school football takes center stage, as six high school athletes from completely different backgrounds chase down their dreams under the Friday night lights.
Chicago
When Serge is recruited from the Sudan to come play basketball at a high profile prep school in Chicago, there are bigger obstacles than culture shock to contend with. His teammates are skeptical of his skills and do not fully bring him into their circle. Plus, the thoughts of Serge's father and older brother being killed by rebels back in the Sudan, consume him. Will Serge be able to put his past behind him and make something of his life in America through basketball? Chicago is a book from Hoop City, an EPIC Press six set series. Some titles may contain explicit content and/or language.

Will he be able to overcome the deconstruction of his family? Detroit is a book from Hoop City, an EPIC Press six set series. Some titles may contain explicit content and/or language.

Will the spotlight be too bright for him to handle? Dallas is from Texas Fridays, an EPIC Press series.
