"Love, Football, and Other Contact Sports" by Alden R. Carter

From the first chapter (A Girl's Guide to Football Players) to the last, this series of short stories moves the reader through the school year and tells the tale of a football team that is a cast of unforgettable characters. Add the characters that are not on the team, but part of the school and general community, and you've got a winning combination.

Set in Marshfield, Wisconsin, the story incorporates all the great local stuff that Wisconsin is made of, including hunting and travel in questionable weather. Wisconsin author Alden Carter brings the characters to life and brought back many memories of Friday night football games on crisp Wisconsin nights.

Have you read this book yet? Let's talk!
