About this audiobook

*Kingsford, Quarter* by Ralph Henry Barbour is a classic American sports novel centered around the life of Evan Kingsford, a spirited and talented fifteen-year-old who arrives at the prestigious Riverport School with dreams of excelling in football. From the moment he sets foot on campus, Evan faces the pressures and expectations of both his teammates and his own ambitious goals.

Evan’s arrival is marked by a tense encounter with the school’s football captain, Frank Hopkins, which sets the tone for a challenging yet transformative experience. Despite the initial friction, Evan’s natural talent and determination quickly earn him a place on the team as a quarterback. Through grueling practices, fierce competition, and the ups and downs of teenage life, Evan learns the value of teamwork, humility, and resilience.

As the football season progresses, Evan must navigate not only the physical challenges of the game but also the emotional trials of friendship, rivalry, and self-discovery. Barbour masterfully combines the excitement of high-stakes football with a coming-of-age story that explores themes of sportsmanship, perseverance, and personal growth.
