Book 8
Lou Barnes has a little trouble remembering to watch his position on the soccer field. So sometimes he gets called offside -- and during a game, that can cost the team a chance at a goal. Then one game, Lou gets a reminder of the offside rule from a very unlikely source: a dog! But where did the dog come from, and who taught him how to play soccer?
When Stookie Norris's brother, Greg, gets his picture in the paper for scoring three goals in one game, Stookie is dazzled. Greg insists strikers should try to score a hat trick every game. So when the 'Cats have their next game, Stookie does his best to score three goals - even though it means running wild chasing the ball. But is it the best way for him to play?
Lisa Gaddy is a starting fullback for the 'Cats, and she plays her position well - except for one thing. Her throw-ins from the sidelines don't go very far. Sometimes the ball winds up landing in front of an opponent instead of a team mate. Unless she grows before the season ends, there doesn't seem to be any way she will improve. Or is there? The coach has an idea to turn Lisa's throw-ins into the "Cats" secret weapon.
