Every Friday night for as long as assistant principal Tylene Wilson can remember, the entire town has gathered in the stands, cheering their boys on. Each September brings with it the hope of a good season and a sense of unity and optimism. Now, the war has changed everything. Most of the Brownwood men over 18 and under 45 are off fighting, and in a small town the possibilities are limited. Could this mean a season without football? But no one counted on Tylene, who learned the game at her daddy's knee. She knows more about it than most men, so she does the unthinkable, convincing the school to let her take on the job of coach. Faced with extreme opposition--by the press, the community, rival coaches, and referees and even the players themselves--Tylene remains resolute. And when her boys rally around her, she leads the team and the town to a Friday night and a subsequent season they will never forget. Based on a true story, When the Men Were Gone is a powerful and vibrant novel of perseverance and personal courage."--provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Wilson, Tylene, $d 1904-1992 $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Football coaches $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Women football coaches $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Texas $x Social life and customs $y 20th century $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Football stories. 650 0 $a Large type books. 655 7 $a Sports fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Biographical fiction. $2 lcgft 941 $a 3 945 $a lpt 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722060621.0 952 $l TXPC862 $d 20190719010612.0 952 $l AAPF906 $d 20190717040040.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=756D0AD214A511E987D3191097128E48 994 $a C0 $b LG@Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
