HIGH HEAT by Carl Deuker pages 193-235

This was the second Christmas in this new house, Shane's mother gave them lots of present. They were very happy in this Christmas. After that, Shane called Reese and asked him to play baseball together. When they finished, Shane told Reese that he was hit Reese on purpose last time. Reese still played with Shane after Shane told him the truth. One day after New Years's, Shane knew that a Korean boy will come and join their team. On the other hand, Shane played with Reese, but Reese thought that Shane cheat him, throw the easy balls to him.
At first, Shane's teammates laughed at the Korean boy who called Kim Seung.After they saw him to play, they didn't laugh as he played quite well. They had a game was against Eastgate and Eastgate thought Shane's team was worthless, but Shane's team won the game. On Thursday, they against Washington High School. After they won the game, Grandison talked to a man who is coach at University of Portland. The coach called Dave Wood and he wanted to know more about Shane. One day, Grandison asked Shane to his office and let Shane alked to coach Dravus. Coach Dravus said if Shane can keep his number high, maybe he can get the baseball scholarship. At that night, Shane explained to his mon that he might not get the scholarship. After that, he went to library with Marian. He found out that Reese was going to against O'Dea. Shane went and watched this game, but Reese felt very nervous so he didn't play well.
On Saturday, coach Dravus came to Shane's house and explained about the scholarship to Shane's mon.

opinion:
I found that this story is really interesting, it is hard to guess what's going on. Just like Shane told Reese that truth. I thought it was an exactly accident.I felt surprise at this fact. Also, I am glad that Shane played well and he might get the baseball scholarship. It is really good for Shane and his mother. Shane should do his best to keep the grade high and get the baseball scholarship. On the other hand, I like Reese because he still can be friend with Shane after he knew the truth. I felt sorry about Reese to play worse than before. I think he is such a good guy that he can forgave Shane. It will be so sad if he can't play as well as he did before. I hope Shane can help Reese because he also help himself to get out of the nightmare.
I can't wait to read the ending, and I hope it is a happy ending.
