Owen 9

By: George C. Wilson




It's a football story seldom told. Owen 9 is not a tale of triumphant champions or of loveable losers finding a way to win. It's the story of the players and coaches of a bad high school football team in a fading Michigan town as they stumble through a season marked by constant failures, many comical and a few sad, as they face the inevitability of a winless season.




On the field and off, the antics and misadventures of the players provide comic balance to their coaches' frustration with their irredeemable losing streak and the temperamental school administrators who threaten to cancel the entire football program.




Despite the book's plentiful uproarious and enthralling scenes, Owen 9 is also a uniquely heartwarming story about high schoolers navigating love and loss - and the coaches and families who either cheer them on or drag them down.




With the world's worst luck, will the Bear River Bears ever catch a break, or will they go... Owen 9?
