About this ebook
Jake Maddox
Who is Jake Maddox? Athlete, author, world-traveler – or all three? He has surfed in Hawaii, scuba-dived in Australia, and climbed the mountains of Peru and Alaska. His books range from the most popular team sports to outdoor activities to survival adventures and even to auto racing. His exploits have inspired numerous writers to walk in his footsteps – literally! Each of his stories is stamped with teamwork, fair play, and a strong sense of self-worth and discipline. Always a team-player, Maddox realizes it takes more than one man (or woman) to create a book good enough for a young reader. He hopes the lessons learned on the court, field, or arena and the champion sprinter pace of his books can motivate kids to become better athletes and lifelong readers.

CHAPTER 1
THE SAME OLD CREW
Becca rode her bike as fast as she could along the side streets, making sure to watch for cars. It was a warm June evening. The sun wouldn’t set for hours, and Becca was on her way to the first softball practice of the summer.
Becca played in the local summer softball league. She had been looking forward to starting practice since school let out a couple of weeks earlier.
Soon, Becca arrived at the softball field. Her best friend, Eva, was already standing on the field with a bunch of other girls and their coach.
Becca recognized all of the other players. It looked like the team would be the same as it had been the year before.
Too bad, Becca thought. She had been hoping to see some new faces this year.
As Becca parked and locked up her bike, Eva spotted her and ran over.
Hey!
said Eva. It’s the same old crew on the Lions this summer. We have Coach Jones again, too.
I saw her,
said Becca. I wish there were some new girls, though,
she added. It would be really fun to meet some new people.
Just then, Coach Jones blew her whistle.
