Jake's father is a jaded man and he has constantly warned his son not to date until after high school.

Jake manages to follow his fathers rules until he meets a pretty cheerleader from the rival school crying in the parking lot after a football game. After that all bets are off. Alyssa instantly steals his heart, but will his high school football career survive their relationship? If he doesn't stay focused he'll lose out on the only chance he has of going to college: obtaining a football scholarship. Will their young love be able to survive the storm of teen drama and school spirit called senior year? less
