This is an entire new ball game and Avery is still learning the ropes. She's feeling the pressure and unsure of herself all over again.

Under an even bigger spotlight, Avery must prove to not only herself but the world that a woman can do what a man can. Hell, maybe even do it better. In heels. On her period.

Against the Playbook by Paigton18

Ava Harding is ready to chase her dream of becoming a sports journalist, and college is the perfect place to start. With her brother Eli being a star player on the football team, Ava gets an exclusive opportunity to report on every game, diving headfirst into the world of college football. But when her brother's best friend, Cole Michaels-the charming, talented quarterback-steps into the spotlight, Ava finds herself facing more than just the pressures of her career. What started as harmless flirting quickly turns into something deeper. Cole isn't just another player in Ava's story-he's the guy who remembers her favourite childhood snacks, buys her sunflowers, and sees through her ambition-driven exterior. Yet, with Eli watching every move and unaware of the growing tension between his sister and best friend, Ava is torn between her budding romance and keeping their relationship a secret. Navigating her role as a journalist while falling for her brother's best friend, Ava faces the ultimate balancing act: can she stay professional while her heart is on the line? And as the season heats up both on and off the field, how long can she and Cole keep their feelings from coming to the surface? A tale of forbidden romance, ambition, and the undeniable spark of first love.

Lucky Number Eleven by AdrianaLocke

COMPLETED I've always been the person that does whatever someone tells me I can't. Can't graduate with a four-point-oh? Check. Can't win a modeling contract without trying? Did it. Check. Can't make it in the pro football league? Triple check with an MVP Award on top. When my best friend told me to stay away from his little sister, Layla, it didn't sound like a challenge. Then again, I'd never seen her before. He obviously wasn't thinking about who he was talking to if he believed I could ignore her. I obviously wasn't thinking of him at all when I fell in love with her either. Fact of the matter is: I not only fell harder than a quarterback sack on a Sunday night game, but I did us one better. Kind of like that MVP award, only not so shiny. Sort of like my Player of the Year title, except the only thing I'm walking away with is an ex-best friend and a woman that hates my guts. It's okay. Just tell me I can't win her back. I'm Branch "Lucky" Best and today's my lucky day.

A College Lie (A College Tale #2) by fridajak

*COMPLETED* Olivia After all the drama during my freshman year I look forward to being a sophmore. I am going to kick ass in classes and nail this marketing project. Only downside is that I am assigned to the football team for this project. That means I have to endure being around my dad and the enemy himself, Dax.

To bad that is not possible and the person I seek forgiveness from the most can't stand me.

Playing The Game by just-A_potato

Not every blonde is stupid. In the South if you're a beautiful, blonde, blue-eyed girl high expectations are made.

Or you are smart and you just pretend to be dumb so you find yourself a suitable husband to take care of you. All her life Avery Skinner has been told what to do and how to do it- by everyone. By her mother, the girls she calls friends, the guys in school, teachers, family, even Mark the mailman. Needless to say, she's sick of it. Its time Avery took control of her life or at least get a firm grip on the sucker. She's loved football ever since she was a little girl.

Especially in the South- unless its a rodeo and you're wearing those ridiculously tight outfits that show you're navel or showing you can hold your liquor. Avery has longed to be on the field, throwing the ball instead of cheering on the team her dad coaches that can't seem to win. Then her best friend Austin forces Avery to and for sometime everyone is fooled. But the truth can only be hidden for so long. The moment the townsfolk of Stonehenge, Alabama learned it was a girl under that helmet, was the moment true colors showed.

Unintended Consequences by eim1993

"You just have no idea." His voice was thick with restraint. "W-what," I breathed. His gaze flicked to my lips as his thumb stroked again. The calloused pad against my soft flesh sent goosebumps down my arms. His once warm eyes were dark as they lifted and bared into my soul. "What you do to... men." His husky whisper weakened my knees. I almost fell but his other hand settled on my hip, pulling me closer to him. "What you do to me," he added on a breath. The hand on my jaw shifted. His fingers left trails of tingles as he slipped them back slowly, under my earlobe and into my curls. *************************************************** As a young girl, Charlotte Avery's favourite pass time was daydreaming about her Prince Charming: Archer Johnson.

An Unexpected Moment by caromerri

... that changes everything Sarah was starting her junior year of high school. Looking at herself in the mirror, she saw a pretty average blonde haired, blue eyed, teenager. She was neither in the popular group, nor one of the many cliched outsiders. Sarah was a nobody. She liked to blend in and lay low. It was her way out of not only this town, but her house. No one knew it, but her father was a high functioning alcoholic that often took his anger out on his family. With her older sister now in college, it had turned to her more often. Laying low in general was a good strategy. Across town, Ryan was prepping for his final year in high school. While he wasn't the stereotypical quarterback of the football team, he did fit into the popular crowd. His sports of choice included basketball and soccer, either of which might line him up for a scholarship next year. Ryan had a group of close friends and a lot of adoring acquaintances. It wasn't easy juggling his athletics and keeping the grades up, but he was just that good. The supporting parents didn't hurt either. It might be a cliché romance, but it will be fun to see what the year and beyond holds. ------------------------------------------ This is a story I wrote years ago, or at least partially wrote. As I transcribe it here, I have tried to update it a bit and give the characters/story more depth than what I had when I was younger. Hopefully it all gets pulled together!
