| Return once again to the enduring account of life in the Mojo lane， to the Permian Panthers of Odessa -- the winningest high school football team in Texas history. Odessa is not known to be a town big on dreams， but the Panthers help keep the hopes and dreams of this small， dusty town going. Socially and racially divided， its fragile economy follows the treacherous boom-bust path of the oil business.In bad times， the unemployment rate barrels out of control; in good times， its murder rate skyrockets. But every Friday night from September to December， when the Permian High School Panthers play football， this West Texas town becomes a place where dreams can come true. With frankness and compassion， Bissinger chronicles one of the Panthers dramatic seasons and shows how single-minded devotion to the team shapes the community and inspires-and sometimes shatters-the teenagers who wear the Panthers uniforms. Includes Reader s Group Guide inside.Now a major motion picture starring Billy Bob Thorton. |
