Raiders Night


I just read an awesome book. The name of the book is called Raiders Night and it is a life long reader book. Being a football player and a team captain this book related to me well. Even if you are not into football this is a book for everyone.
It is an emotional story about the team captain Matt. He has some crap get out of hand during summer camp with hazing. When the ordeal threatens to tear the team and town apart, he and his best friends on the team (the Back Pack) have to decide what they will do as leaders.
Are the season and their D-1 scholarships more important than a teammate’s mental health and reputation? The book answers the question. If you want an uplifting story of learning to put self after others, this is it. I strongly recommend this book to all athletes.

Good books are so important to a well rounded individual. I know I have found some gems. Remember Reagan to keep on reading, there is so much out there.
