Publisher's Synopsis
After dropping out of high school as a senior, Spruce Luster had wasted a year just running about the area and doing many things he shouldn't. Finally, he realized he was on a road to nowhere and should change his course. Burr Luster was against his son's return to school, telling the boy that there was no need to further his education -- college lectures did not help with making a living on a farm. Defiantly, Spruce decided to return to school the very next day. Spruce wanted a college education, but he knew there was no moneys to finance it. He became so determined to attend a university that he decided to try for a sports scholarship. The boy returned to school with only one year to prove that he was good player -- good enough for the college scouts to notice him.
