Included in the Social Emotional Learning collection

Ed doesn't look like a football star. But can he play like one?

Ed Warnicki used to play football in the park with his dad and dream of being a great receiver. Now fourteen, he secretly hopes to play for the Calgary High Mustangs team, but instead settles for the job of waterboy.

The team’s quarterback is constantly bullying Ed and one day at practice throws a ball right at Ed's head. Ed's instincts kick in and he makes a decent catch! So, when the team's top receiver gets injured, Ed joins the team as back-up receiver. Annoyed, Tyrone won't pass to Ed, and even calls a play he knows could get Ed hurt. But the big game against their rival team puts school pride and Ed's confidence on the line. Will Tyrone throw to Ed? Can Ed catch the crucial pass?
