Box Out


by John Coy
Lexile: 530
Genre: Realistic Fiction

Liam Bergstrom has just realized a dream. He will be starting in a varsity basketball game as a sophomore. He vows to do everything he can to fit in with the team and show that he can be an asset to their game. Before the night of the first big game, Coach Klass gathers the team around to say a prayer. Liam is uncomfortable with this, but joins in as everyone else does. The more he thinks about it though, the more he thinks it's wrong. He knows that standing up for what he believes in will most likely cost him his spot on the team. Should he challenge the coach and stand up for what he knows is right, or is keeping his spot on the team the most important thing?
