Friday Night Lights (25th Anniversary Edition): A Town, a Team, and a Dream -- H. G. Bissinger, Paperback
Named Sports Illustrated's best football book of all time! A classic #1 New York Times bestselling story of a high school football team whose win-loss record has a profound influence on the town around them, from a Pulitzer Prize-winning author. "Groundbreaking." --Austin American-Statesman Return once again to the timeless account of the Permian Panthers 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. With frankness and compassion, H. G. Bissinger unforgettably captures a season in the life of Odessa and shows how single-minded devotion to the team shapes the community and inspires--and sometimes shatters--the teenagers who wear the Panthers' uniforms. The inspiration for the hit television program and film of the same name, this anniversary edition features a new afterword by the author.
