Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream Hardcover - 1990

by Bissinger, H. G


From the publisher

Return once again to the timeless account of 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, H.G. Bissinger chronicles a season in the life of Odessa and shows how single-minded devotion to the team shapes the community and inspires--and sometimes shatters--the teenagers who wear the Panthers' uniforms.

That dream comes to life once a week every fall, when the Panthers of Permian High School take the footbal field under the Firday night lights! Mo-Jo! Mo-Jo! The haunting cheer rocks the stadium filled with 20,000 fans, who are there not only to toot for their belioved team, but to live out their own dreams and aspirations.

In this remarkable book, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist H.G. Bissinger Chronicles a season in the life of Odessa: the coaches, the mothers and fathers, the teachers, the ministers, the politicians- and most of the players, who carry an entire city's image of itself on their young shoulders. From the prayer that opens the Watermelon Feed before the first game, through the heart stopping season and its dramatic ending, Bissinger paints an unforgettable scene-the stale, sweltering air, the painful collision of… Read More
