The Boys of East Hartford: How a Group of Underrated but Determined Young Boys Won Two Football State Championships in the Same Year (Granddaddy's Secrets for Sports Lovers) - 7684

“Everyone counted us out in that big game. No one, except for us, believed we had a chance.” Bobby Stefanik- Athlete of the DecadeDon't you just love a good coming of age story? The Boys of East Hartford reminds us that growing up is tough sometimes, especially when one comes from the wrong neighborhood or even the wrong side of the state. This group of unassuming boys from East Hartford is trying to give themselves and their community something to believe in again. They want to matter. They desire to be someone special. They have to grow into good men who win big football games. The Boys of East Hartford want to go out on top their last year of high school. However, to win the big one, The Boys of East Hartford are going to have to overcome injuries, low morale, and their own coach who psychologically beats them up in the name of making them tougher. They will have to survive mishaps, living, and playing in a northern town rather than the southern powerhouse part of the state. They will have to take on a top-ranked, unbeatable Hamden with their ferocious defense and unstoppable offense stacked with future top-tier college and pro players. The Boys of East Hartford must come together as a team that will have to dig deeper and play football better than anyone thinks is possible. They must stop Hamden's unstoppable offense if they are to have any chance at all of not getting blown out, humiliated, and possibly injured. If they don't find a way to play better than they've ever played before, they risk going back broken to a lack-luster life in an old factory town that is fading. If they do the unthinkable, they may somehow pull off the biggest upset in Connecticut football history as the new State Champs. This book is endorsed by East Hartford Legend Ernie Hutt of Augie and Rays, East Hartford Gazette owner Bill Doak, Athlete of the Decade, Bobby Stefanik, and a host of other ex-athletes, media personalities, local politicians, and East Hartfordites. So, don't wait any longer to join these amazing people. Invest in yourself right now by getting this touching story guaranteed to remind you of what's possible when everyone believes in the impossible.
