This is the classic story of a high school football team whose win-loss record has a profound impact on the town around them, and was named the best football book of all time by Sports Illustrated and the #1 NYT bestseller. Return once again to the timeless story of the Odessa Permian Panthers - the winningest high school football team in Texas history. Socially and racially divided Odessa is not known for being a place of big dreams, but every Friday night from September to December when the Panthers play football, dreams can come true. With candour and compassion, Pulitzer Prize winner H. G. Bissinger unforgettably captures a season in the life of Odessa, showing how single-minded devotion to the team shapes the community and inspires - and sometimes breaks - the teenagers who wear the Panthers' jerseys
