Second-String Center by Rich Wallace

Here's the book that I read!
Hi everybody! Today I'm blogging about a book I read called Second-String Center. It's about this guy named Dunk who is trying out for the Hudson City Hornets. He's competing for the center spot on the team. He's fighting for the center spot against the really good Jared and the taller Louie. They all end up getting a spot on the team. They lost their first game to the Palisades. One day after practice, Jared told Dunk that his parents are getting a divorce. Dunk didn't think about the game, he was thinking about how bad it felt if his parents got a divorce. The last game of the season, the Hornets faced one of the hardest teams in the league. Jared was not good in the game, so Dunk had to come up big, and he did. There were 7 seconds on the clock and the Hornets were up by 3. Dunk was at the line. He had a flash back of last summer in the semifinals when he choked when the game was on the line. He sunk the first one and the second. The final seconds went off the clock when the Hornet's players picked up Dunk and cheered. In the locker room, one of Dunk's teammates said when the best player was not good, the second string made the play. Jared was mad at himself, but happy for Dunk. Hoped you like my blog, bye bye!
