Backfield Boys

John Feinstein

Backfield Boys Jason Roddin and Tom Jefferson are a perfect pair- best friends and football players. Jason is a blazing-fast wide-receiver, while his best friend Tom has all the skills a standout quarterback needs. After summer football camp at an elite sports-focused boarding school, the boys are thrilled to be invited back with full-ride scholarships, but they're shocked when the team's coaching staff makes Tom, a black kid, a receiver and Jason, a white kid, a quarterback. Confronted with mounting evidence of deep-seated racial bias, are the boys willing to speak up and risk everything they have w worked so hard for?
