One Good Punch

by Rich Wallace
Genre: Sports Fiction

Ask anyone around East Scranton High School; Michael Kerrigan is almost too good to be true. Dedicated athlete, captain of the track team, editorial assistant at the Scranton Observer. He’s never been in trouble, and he doesn’t associate with any troublemakers. This is the most important track season of Mike’s life, and he’s ready.

Then the police find four joints in his locker. Soon Mike is faced with a choice, and everything he’s worked so hard for – his running career, his job, his whole future – depends on his decision. An old boxer tells him it only takes a single hard shot to bring a man down. One good punch – and this could be Mike’s. ~from the book jacket
