I am a Pennsylvania high school football junkie. This book by Jim Droskins adds another piece to the mural of the sport in Pennsylvania. It doesn't matter what sport, what age level or what competition to accomplish what these young men did is amazing. If you enjoy high school football or amazing feats, this read is time well spent.
