I read The Assist by Neil Swidey over spring break. The Assist is about a high school basketball team in Boston and the coach of the team Jack O'Brian. The coach of this team helps out his players get through their senior year at school. He takes them on field trips to colleges that would give them what they want and a good education. He goes to great lengths to make sure that his players stay out of trouble and in school. The players each have their own harsh story about growing up in the low end of town. The coach eventually leads the team to the championship and this is were things get all tense. Some players start to have family issues and the coach tries his best to resolve these conflicts. If you would like to know what happens I advise you to read this book it is a really good read.
