GeorgeAnn High School: Girls, Football and Jesus follows a high school quarterback navigating postseason football, relationships, personal convictions, and Christian faith.

New York City, NY, September 30, 2026 — Author Douglas Jackson Channell explores adolescence, competitive sports, relationships, personal convictions, and faith in GeorgeAnn High School: Girls, Football and Jesus, a young adult coming-of-age novel centered on a high school quarterback facing challenges both on and off the field.

The novel follows Taylor Jackson, a student asked to quarterback his varsity football team as it enters postseason competition. With the first playoff game approaching, Taylor must manage the expectations that come with leading his team while also navigating relationships with his girlfriend, family, friends, and his Christian faith.

As Taylor prepares for one of the most important games of his high school career, he also confronts questions about identity, responsibility, commitment, and the values he wants to carry forward. His decision to save sex for marriage and his efforts to encourage the people around him become part of a broader story about remaining consistent with personal beliefs while growing into adulthood.

Channell uses the setting of high school football to examine themes of character, friendship, relationships, family, and spiritual growth. Rather than treating Taylor’s athletic and personal lives as separate experiences, the novel shows how the choices he makes in one area can affect the others.

The story combines reflective themes with moments of humor as Taylor works through familiar pressures involving school, sports, relationships, family expectations, and questions about his future.

Through Taylor’s experiences, GeorgeAnn High School: Girls, Football and Jesus considers how personal convictions can influence everyday choices during a formative period of life. The novel is written for young adult readers and may also appeal to parents, educators, coaches, youth leaders, and readers interested in faith-centered coming-of-age fiction.
