Return once again to the timeless account of the Permian Pathers of Odessa--the winningest high-school football team in Texas History. Socially and racially divided, Odessa isn't known to be a place big on dreams, but every Friday night from September to December, when the Panthers play football, dreams can come true. H.G. Bissinger's exquisitely written account brings into sharp focus the bitter struggle between sports and education in Odessa, Texas, as well as in high schools and colleges nationwide.-- Provided by the publisher.
