His plans are uprooted when his mother announces an unexpected move to rural Bennington, Nebraska. Billy's world is turned upside down.
Billy hoped to find a new team that could compete at the same level as his former team. He soon finds that Bennington's local team, the Bunz Town Badgers, is composed of below-average players who haven't won a game in two years.
Recognizing Billy's talent, the coach sends him to the Omaha Outlaws, believing he should be with players matching his skill level.
Billy quickly realizes he must make a choice: playing for a polished team with questionable motives or playing with a team of friends who love the sport.

The Storm Blitz
Regular price $11.99 Sale price $9.99 Save $2.00It was fourth and goal…
Jacoby Howard was the star quarterback, and I was the middle linebacker who was going to stop him from scoring. I glanced up at the scoreboard; it read :03; 21-17. Jacoby had to go through me to win the game. My teeth clenched as I crouched, ready to surge forward.
As soon as the center moved the ball, I blitzed. I stayed low and dropped my shoulder pads just in time to meet Jacoby at the goal line. We connected with a loud thud on impact.
Time stood still. Everything came down to this play.
Two superstars, undefeated teams, and a developing rivalry go head-to-head in the last game of the season. Who will bring home the bragging rights?
