    About this ebook

    Jaylin has always been a star defender on his lacrosse team, but his catching ability holds him back from his dream position—midfielder. When a trip to the eye doctor gives him the chance he needs to up his game, Jaylin gives everything he has to show he belongs on offense, too.

    Jake Maddox

    Who is Jake Maddox? Athlete, author, world-traveler – or all three? He has surfed in Hawaii, scuba-dived in Australia, and climbed the mountains of Peru and Alaska. His books range from the most popular team sports to outdoor activities to survival adventures and even to auto racing. His exploits have inspired numerous writers to walk in his footsteps – literally! Each of his stories is stamped with teamwork, fair play, and a strong sense of self-worth and discipline. Always a team-player, Maddox realizes it takes more than one man (or woman) to create a book good enough for a young reader. He hopes the lessons learned on the court, field, or arena and the champion sprinter pace of his books can motivate kids to become better athletes and lifelong readers.

      THE DEFENSE HOLDS

      Jaylin Buckley waited on the balls of his feet. As the Tigers’ central defenseman, he had learned to watch his opponent’s stick, not his eyes.

      The Scorpions’ attackman in front of him faked left, but Jaylin wasn’t buying it. The guy’s stick, a shorter version of Jaylin’s long defensive stick, had stayed on his right shoulder. Clearly, he was not going left.

      Suddenly, the attackman broke right and sprinted toward the Tigers’ goal. If he got the ball in the net, he would tie the score at six. Jaylin moved quickly, matching his opponent step for step. As the attackman brought his stick back to shoot, Jaylin brought his up for a check. He lifted the guy’s hands just enough to thwart the shot.

      Seeing he had no shot, the attackman kept the ball and ran around behind the goal. DeAndre, Jaylin’s best friend and fellow defenseman, followed him. Jaylin sprinted back to the center of the attack area, in front of the goalie, where an open attackman was calling for the ball.

      The Scorpions passed the ball back up the attack area to Jaylin’s right. He kept one eye on the Scorpion with the ball, and the other on the pesky attackman by the crease.
