Cap Wadell loves football; unfortunately, living in a rural town of 1,223 people makes putting together a team a little difficult. His grandfather suggests that Cap organize a local six-man team and play with other surrounding small towns. Recruiting players, finding uniforms, locating a field to play on, and securing a rule book are all easily done, but one major problem remains — who is going to coach this team? Cap thinks his grandfather is perfect for the job, but trouble strikes when another grandfather thinks Cap's grandfather is playing favorites by putting Cap at quarterback. An old-time rivalry is about to heat up again as the grandfathers battle it out off the field and Cap and the other grandson battle it out on field. As the generations clash, nobody is exactly sure who will succeed and play the coveted quarterback position. Who in the end will prevail?

      Cap's rural Texas town is too small for a football league, until Grandpa suggests starting six-man teams. In "Snowboard", Mexican-American brothers Freddie and Dondi challenge each other to a pair of snowboarding competitions. The typical Christopher formula of pedestrian plots, limited characterization, and lots of sports action keeps current by including disabled and minority characters, as well as a few contemporary expressions.
