OK, so even though this book is 20+ years old, I felt as if it were written yesterday. I pulled this one out of a pile of books that my sister-in-law had marked to donate to the library (I promise to put it back in the pile now that I'm finished) and thought it would be a good read for the beginning of high school football season. Wow. This could easily have been written about the school system that I worked for here in the Miami Valley. Texas and Ohio may not be so different. And, small town football still trumps academics every time.
