Bozeman, Montana, March 9, 2016 (Newswire.com) - Author/broadcaster, Peter Young, is releasing his first novel, The Blue Team, this March 14th.

Shooting a basketball is a beautiful thing.  With his flawless stroke, Thomas Conner has perfected the art of the jump shot.  But trying to prove he can play like his hero, the great Larry Bird, leads to disaster for Thomas.

"I laughed, I cried, and cheered as the story behind the story unfolded." Mike Jarvis, former coach at George Washington & St. John's speaking about The Blue Team

With the season and his career hanging in the balance, Thomas must identify and conquer his greatest enemy.  Is it the defender trying to block the next shot, or is it someone else?  If successful Thomas and his George Washington University teammates might become the next NCAA Cinderella story.

Interwoven with rich historical detail, The Blue Team is more than just basketball.  It's a story about fathers & sons, falling in love, and the redemptive power of Christ.
