Two-Minute
Drill "You don't always get to pick the things you're best at." Scott Parry lives to play football! He dreams of playing on the sixth grade team and is willing to go through fire to make the team. And go through fire, he must. He is not only the new kid in school, but he is also small and shy. On his first day at his new school, Jimmy Dolan, the coach's son, bullies Scott throughout the day. Will anyone stand up for Scott? Will anyone will see Scott's real talent...his academic prowess? With the cards stacked against him, Scott practices for hours after school. For awhile, his only teammate is a golden lab named Casey who retrieves his passes and field goals, but when Chris Conlan stands up against the bully, a powerful camaraderie is formed. But Chris has problems of his own. Fortunately, strong families stand behind both Scott and Chris to help them weather the storms that come. As they learn to stand strong, together, they must also learn to stand strong, alone. Two-Minute Drill is far more than a football story. It is the story of how courage, perseverance, cooperation, respectfulness, honesty, and responsibility are built. Research
