Champions, The

Champions, The Synopsis

From the author of The Cheerleaders comes a new, darkly thrilling story set in the same town of Sunnybrook. When an accident befalls one of the members of Sunnybrook High's all-star football team, the town's dark history stands to repeat itself—and the price of discovering the truth is higher than anyone could imagine. First, there were the Cheerleaders. Five girls whose deaths made Sunnybrook infamous, and whose legacy has marked them even after the girls' killer was finally brought to justice. By the time Hadley moves to Sunnybrook, the locals are more interested in the present. The high school's championship-winning football team, the Warriors. More than athletes, the Warriors are Sunnybrook's homegrown heroes--something positive in a town with so much darkness in its past. Hadley is not a fan, but when she gets assigned to cover the football team's latest championship bid for the school newspaper, she realizes there's a lot about the Warriors that's not being talked about. Sunnybrook holds the Warriors up to the light, but there's a lot hidden in the shadows, and Hadley's about to find out just how far the town would go to ensure that their boys keep winning.
