Summary:
"Keanon Lowe was an offensive analyst for the San Francisco 49ers when his former high school teammate suddenly died from an opioid overdose. Keanon dropped everything, leading him to a position as football coach at Parkrose High School. In May 2019, a student entered a Parkrose classroom with a trench coat and shotgun. Keanon disarmed him and pulled the boy into a hug, telling him he cared. Keanon's journey at Parkrose is the true account of a life spent striving forward, even when faced with the unimaginable. Hometown Victory is a story about gratitude, service, and most of all, hope"--From the publisher's web site.
