The opportunity to be scouted by college coaches is a dream come true. Though he is an amazing athlete, his technical game needs work. And then Sooley receives devastating news from home: as a result of the civil war raging across South Sudan, his father is dead, his sister is missing, and his mother and two younger brothers are in a refugee camp. Moved by his story, the coach of North Carolina Central offers him a scholarship. Sooley moves to Durham, enrolls in classes, and prepares to sit out his freshman season. But Sooley has a fierce determination to improve. He works tirelessly on his game, and soon he's dominating in practice. With the Central team losing and plagued by injuries, Sooley is called off the bench. But how far can he take his team? And will success allow him to save his family?"--Back cover. 541 $d 20220817. 650 $a Sudanese $z United States $v Fiction. 650 7 $a Basketball players $v Fiction. 650 $a College athletes $v Fiction. 650 7 $a North Carolina $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Sports fiction. 655 $a Paperbacks. 941 $a 2 952 $l OZAX845 $d 20230707041509.0 952 $l GQPB641 $d 20221028011501.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E3923296568511EDBB5E303432ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
