An underdeveloped and nearsighted boy becomes the beloved manager of the girls' basketball team and collects an entourage of girlfriends as he advances the sports at his high school.
Underdeveloped and extremely near-sighted sophomore Dennis Enders is recruited to manage a new girls' basketball team at their school in Bartley, Iowa. The girls adopt him readily and his gentle nature, kindness, and vulnerability make him an instant favorite. They can't believe he was overlooked and ignored for nine years in school. They survive in a world rife with danger from bootleggers, rapists, drug dealers, and kidnappers, while learning intimacy and love from and for each other. / (Reviews)
Basketball season was very good to Dennis. Despite his short stature and coke-bottle glasses, the girls' basketball team fell in love with him and have all claimed him as their boyfriend. But that was yesterday. Today starts track season. Dennis has more challenges to meet, winning the confidence of the track team, stopping an unbalanced younger geek, and holding down a summer job. In the midst of that, he receives a remarkable gift and discovers he's grown.
2022 Clitorides Award for Best Romantic Story! Dennis has new responsibilities as he is tapped to manage all the team managers and to take over conditioning for the department. A couple of coaches aren't sure about that last bit and are committed to training their own teams, but it's a whole new Dennis who steps on the floor to lead the exercises. Classmates may not even recognize him!
It's senior year for Dennis and most of his crew of girlfriends. Some are realizing their relationship isn't really for the long haul, but they are still united in their quest for the state championship. It looks like that could be up in the air until Dennis steps in as the Student Coach of the Angelines. There's a whole new relationship between the crew and their coach! It looks to be an interesting season.
