With grandchildren gathered around him, Don McMurry recounts an inside the locker room glimpse of high school football. Within the pages of Forever 17: Proud to be a Jay character is molded on the gridiron under the mentoring of Coach Pete Adkins. Their senior year, when the guys are kings of the hill, no slacking is allowed as Coach demands their best, with no satisfied customers. Themes of struggles in relationships, self-confidence and fair play run through the book. The lives of grown men in countless occupations bear the marks of the kings at 17, and Jay Pride never fades.
