Published in the 1950s, this young adult novel follows the adventures of Bronc Burnett, a talented but rough-around-the-edges high school football player navigating the challenges of small-town life and the pressures of the gridiron. McCormick, a prolific author of sports fiction for young readers, captures the grit and determination of the era’s athletes with authentic detail and engaging storytelling. Despite its age and library markings, this copy remains a compelling time capsule, transporting readers to a bygone era when football was a rapidly growing phenomenon and young athletes were celebrated as local heroes. Collectors and fans of vintage sports literature will appreciate this opportunity to own a piece of American cultural history.
