Award-winning sportswriter Richard Dunn goes deep inside the huddle, sidelines and team dinners, and years later interviewing every starter, in an extraordinary view of high school football in Newport Beach, Calif. “14 Weeks” was 14 years in the making from its inception to publication, and dazzles with quips and insights. But really it’s about people, relationships and trusting each other, as each winning week of the Sailors’ season is chronicled in the school’s first CIF championship in 1994.

"This is a detailed book about a very special team. All sorts of writers and broadcasters use the word 'insider' to describe their coverage of a team or a sport. Some of those 'insiders' barely have their foot in the door. Dunn truly was THE insider covering the Newport Harbor's undefeated championship football team. He had full access, which he earned skillfully."
