The first season games are easy wins for the Jefferson High Patriots. With Brian Davis, the tallest man on the team and their new star center, they can do no wrong. But when they start playing teams with height advantage, Brian begins losing on the rebounds. Psyched out by the competition, Brian goes into a slump. Assistant Coach Williams works him hard on grabbing rebounds and shot blocks to sharpen his offensive and defensive skills against taller players, and gradually Brian's confidence returns. He'll need every bit of it when the Patriots challenge their toughest all-city rival, Westside High!Marshall, Kirk is the author of 'Backboard Battle', published 1989 under ISBN 9780345359100 and ISBN 0345359100.
