The main protagonist in the book "Bleachers"by John Grisham is Neely Crenshaw. He comes back to his home town of Messina after fifteen years. He comes back because of one cause, his former high school football coach Eddie Rake was on his death bed in some short time to pass away due to cancer. He comes back and runs into former friends, players and people he never even known before, but in the little town of Messina everyone knows everyone even if they were in the past or the current times. Neely has been know as the All-American Quarterback that has one of thee best arms in history of Messina. So good that his high school football number, number nineteen was retired in honor. Neely Crenshaw is known for his amazing proformence in the state championship game of  '87. He threw four interceptions and fumbled two times in the first half. But some mystery which has been burried sense the game and never been told happened at halftime. They come out and pull off an amazing and nearly impossible comeback to win the game as Neely turned back into his amazing talented self and dominated the second half. Neely Crenshaw left Messina as a hero and choose to go to Texas Tech and starting his bright career there. But during the National Championship game, Neely stepped up in the pocket and choose to run and was token out at the knee and tore his ACL and ended his football career. Which is still bitter to him to this day. But he comes back and ravels the mystery that happened at halftime. They went into the locker room at halftime and Neely was attacked by his head coach and Neely punched his coach in the face and broke his hand. Then the team had Neely's back and kicked the coaches out of the locker room. My questions to this book have been later on answered such as what happened at halftime and why Neely was so bitter sometimes.
