Character: Travis Cody, the main character, high school football player, Glen Cody, Travis’ older brother, who has graduated from high school, Travis’ mother, a nurse, “Lunk,” Travis’ close friend and fellow teammate, and Jerico Grooms, Travis’ arch rival, who plays for Pineview. Point of View: This story is told from the view of Travis Cody, the main character. Which makes this story told in first person point of view. Theme: This story tells of the day of the main character, Travis Codys\', big game. The game is against Pineview, the Roughnecks arch rivals. It is the state championship, and Travis’ second chance to prove himself against the best nose guard in the state, Jerico Grooms. The first time these two met Grooms beat one of Travis’ assignments that cost the Roughnecks an undefeated season. All day Travis has doubted himself against Grooms. At the end of the book, Travis beats Grooms and the Roughnecks go on to win the state championship. Once he beat Grooms, his doughts in himself were gone.
