Crash Coogan is the average seventh grade male. He has a great gift in football. His size, speed and strength make his skills far more strengthened. When Crash (his proper name is John Coogan) was 4 years old, he recieved a helmet for Christmas and tackeled his cousin Bridget into a mountain of snow, hence the name Crash. A truly hated neighbour, Penn Webb, is the complete opposite of Crash. Crash Coogan would bully and torment this young male, until he finally realizes that being a "jock" isn't all it's supposed to be. Eventually, these two boys become greatest friends. As you can see, Crash has two sides to him- the tackling foot-ball player and the respectful hero of Penn Webb. Not too many of males in today's society have this sort of personality, but this character, Crash, is a good role model in showing that not being popular isn't the end of the world.
