K-12 Sports: Friday Night Lights


I just finished reading Bissinger's Friday Night Lights.

The bestselling story of life in the football-driven town of Odessa, Texas, explores how the town's passion for the team inspires--and sometimes shatters--the young men who wear the Panther uniform.
Having lived in Texas some years ago, Bissinger presents a very accurate picture of Texas High School Football. Read David Bernhardt's thoughts on K-12 sports for another perspective.
