Acerca de esta escucha
What happens when you bring together a group of disgruntled high school senior football players with a class of upstart juniors and a group of coaches on their last attempt at greatness? It could be magic.
These three stories are told from the unique perspectives of the head coach, a returning All-League receiver, and an unlikely quarterback.
In the fall of 1977, there was an aura about the night, the likes of which none had ever experienced. It was just another Friday night in Azusa, California, or was it? The Gladiators of Gladstone High School were set to kick a late field goal that could solidify a brilliant come from behind victory. It was against the undefeated Walnut Mustangs who were the number one ranked team in CIF Division AA. If successful, the Gladiators would have done what no other Gladiator team had ever done - win a championship.

Case Keenum has traveled one of the most unique paths in the NFL. Recruited by just one college, undrafted, and released three times, Case has overcome every obstacle to become a successful starting quarterback. Keenum shares stories from every stage of his life, starting out as a ball boy for his father’s college team in West Texas, going on to win a state title in high school, and rewriting the NCAA record book at the University of Houston. A devastating knee injury almost derailed his football career, but helped him get closer to the woman who would soon become his wife.
