Zach learns that facing those challenges is what winning is all about. With time running out in the biggest game of his life, Zach's only hope is to play like a bobblehead football hero!

Disaster is avoided when Zach shows Chris the true meaning of friendship. However, when Chris is sidelined, Zach has to step into a role he never expected -- the new leader of the Lightning.
