What is the summary of shoot out by mike lupica?

Answer 1

Jake Stuart doesn't mind moving to a suburb of his old hometown. He finds a new friend, Quinn, and he hangs out at the local library. What he does mind is his new soccer team. They stink. He's used to being a good player on a good team. Now he's the star player of a losing team.

Coach Lord encourages Jake to be a leader. He also urges the boy to come alongside a teammate named Kevin who has just lost his mother. Jake is repeatedly frustrated by rude replies when he tries to help or talk to Kevin. The team continues to flounder, and Jake feels he's losing his love for the game.

Quinn notices Jake's loss of passion for soccer and encourages him to work on his attitude. Jake tries harder to be positive even when plays aren't going the way he expects. Kevin sees Jake and his mother horsing around and recognizes that Jake is as close to his mom as Kevin was to his. Kevin finally allows Jake to become his friend, and the grieving boy begins to make more effort on the soccer field.

Despite a poor season, Jake is energized when his team has a chance to play his old school. His former teammates razz him, thinking there's no way Jake's team can win. An impassioned game ensues, and Jake offers the final, game-breaking kick to Kevin. Despite his nervousness, Kevin wins the game. He, Jake and the team revel in that moment of victory.
