Aprašymas
The history of high school football in Texas is replete with stories of the dynastic programs produced, such as the famous Odessa Permian and the "Mojo mystique" from 1965 to 1991, as chronicled in the book, movie, and TV series, Friday Night Lights. But sometimes overlooked, an underdog football program would rise as the unexpected champion for one glorious fall season. In One-Hit Wonders of Texas High School Football, sports historian Robert D. Jacobus profiles eleven schools of varying sizes and from all regions of Texas, beginning with the Kingsville Brahmas in 1958 and ending with Fort Worth's 2003 North Crowley Panthers, one of three schools covered that won a state title after placing as a runner-up in its district.
Jacobus analyzes statistics and team qualities that helped pave the way to victories, and in the process, he unveils the behind-the scenes stories of those who played the game. Based on interviews with coaches, players, fans, and others connected with these teams and their once-in-a-lifetime championship runs, One-Hit Wonders of Texas High School Football takes readers on a game-by-game, play-by-play recap of each team's Cinderella season, capturing the building excitement as each week's success led to the almost unbearable anticipation of playing for all the chips in a championship game. This action-packed book provides an entertaining and informative read for Texas high school football fans and more.
