About this book
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 Readers Group Guide inside. Now a an NBC TV weekly drama series.
