The Betrayers (2012)
“Little girls running chaotically up and down the width of one-half of the court, shooting baskets without aiming. Lee Dunphy was shorter than most of the other girls and not much of a shooter herself, but she hustled and blocked and passed and was valuable to her team.
Sharon sat with the other parents on one of the unfolded chairs they had provided. Mothers yelling as loud as the dads who were there, shouting out directions to their children who couldn’t hear them.
There were two coaches for L...ee’s team. One was a heavyset man who seemed to forget that he was coaching seven-year-old girls. Not a bad guy, but too serious. The second coach was Terry Ross. “Mr. Ross,” as Lee called him, was a natural with children. Gentle and kind, yet strong enough and wise enough to know when to tell a girl she was more scared than she was hurt. He had a daughter on the team too—Katie Ross.
It was around the second or third game of the season that Sharon found herself watching Mr. Ross almost as much as she did Lee.MoreLess
