Read the excerpt from Outcasts United.A few minutes later, Luma arrived. Members of the Under Fifteens and Seventeens were warming up when she walked onto the field past Fornatee, without making eye contact. Luma blew her whistle and told the two teams to gather at opposite ends of the field."She's more than a coach—that's why," Fornatee said, almost to himself. "She's a great person.
