Joey Eastland thinks of himself as the player--no gridiron is safe from him. He's the man, he's the beast, he's the great receiver. Pigskin flies toward him; the opposing team's defense flies from him. So why is his real position that of chief water boy? All that changes when a desperate coach notices that Joey can make some pretty impressive catches while cleaning up the equipment and gives him his first big break--almost overnight the nobody water boy and a student is a player not just on the team but in Lakeland Highs social network.
