Query: BORING

Aside from being boring, this story has been done many times before: athletic hero does semi-well, returns home to be confronted by characters from the past, the coach he hates turns out to have good qualitites after all, yada, yada, yada. Reminded me of Pat Conroy's "real-life experience" book, but was not nearly as interesting. John, give this up and go back to "dance with the one that brung ya".
