i played football in the mid to late 80's in upstate new york a little town called Norwich, we did not have lights so we played on saturday afternoons in a valley with the leaves of all color, the hills were under fire. I remember walking to the high school before the game kicking the leaves as i'm walking. Not Texas but I still have the same memories. About our little town of Norwich New York, there is a 4 page column in one of the 1993 sports illustrated magazine called.... my kinda of town, this was the year when Norwich played in the state championship, if you like football (High School football) and a home town feeling then this is the read for you.
Rest In Power Cammi Walker You Touched Many Souls Deeply!! God Bless Your Family 😢❤😢❤🙏🏿🙏🏿 I know You’re one of my Many Guardian angels!! You will be forever missed Love From San Francisco California
Heres a cool story, bro. I played highschool football, on the same team as the Bill Dozer. We womped all other teams, including Dallas Carter and Polk High, as i had 4 touchdowns in those games!!!
I wish I could've played for a team like this when I was in high school but when I went to C.E. King from 1998 until 2002, they just weren't anywhere near as good as they are now.
If the writer of. Friday night lights , came out a little further west around that time he would've found Fontana steelers Football tradition, .. Go Permian
I remember as a kid watching the 2002 world serise. ANGELS VS Giants. Angles starting pitcher John Lackey when asked how hed handle the pressure of pitching in the world serise. His response was that he played HS football in TX and the pressure of the world serise was nothing in comparison
That movie came out when I was still playing high school football. I was in awe thinking how cool it would be if my team/town was like that. Then again that was in the 80’s and things were different then.
I remember 1973 Snyder Texas Tigers Played Permian. I was a Senior. We lost to permian by 3 points. A field Goal by a Kicker who later kicked 63 yards against Abilene High School for a state record
I played high school football in Illinois from 93'-97' and met a Texas boy a lil older than me and he said that alot of those kids are juicing in Texas because it means so much
I played at Waxahachie HS, in Waxahachie, TX. Every team we lost to in the playoffs won state. We lost to Ennis my sophomore and junior year, Ennis won state both years. We lost to Denton Ryan in the playoffs, Denton Ryan won state. In 2002, we lost to Denton Ryan again in the playoffs. They won state I believe. In 2003, after I graduated in 2001, we lost to Corsicana HS in the playoffs. Corsicana lost to Smithson Valley who won state that year. That's one thing I miss, the locker room, the friendships, the battles in practice, the games, FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS...
Many of us will never ride that emotional high that football used to bring to us. I played QB, I got to start as a senior finally, after sitting two years behind an eventual D1 stud. The day after our last game as a junior, I knew I would have every shot to start and be the next guy. I got my shot. Everywhere I went I felt like a celebrity, everyone asks about how the team looks, comments on how good we look in practice, they can’t wait to see us play. Folks would come watch us practice and their little kids would line the fence leading to the field…almost like you were a real NFL player. It was magical. The newspaper chooses one player at the beginning of each year to do an exposé on, and I was the lucky guy. I couldn’t believe it and 17 years later, when I think about it all, and what we did, it was quite a time. Although we didn’t meet expectations, it will be a cherished memory forever. Hanging with my teammates, going for food, playing video games at the selected house of the week, fake WWE matches, real boxing matches, hot tub parties, drinking stolen beers by a fire in the middle of a field in the heart of Pennsylvania. Scoring that first touchdown, tossing that first touchdown pass, man those memories will never die. The younger kids lining the fences to give you a high five walking back to the locker rooms at halftime, you were really a celebrity for a couple moments in time. Those time don’t last, and you never realize how much you miss them until time passes. Now I’m a dad, I have two children of my own, so I can take my kids to the football games, with my grandfather, just like my dad used to do with me. Football is more than a game sometimes. It brings communities together around a bunch of kids, playing a game that we all wish we could lace them up for, one last time. When the band plays “Ironman” by Black Sabbath, (our school mascot is the ironmen), I still get a little juiced, all these years later.
And yet, for the rest of us, high school is still just high school, and just a stepping stone in life. It must be terrible to think that happens in high school is the pinnacle of life, and all there is to hang your life on.
Texas made football a passage to becoming a man more so than being good. That's what perfect means to me. Can you play as boys together and become men by last game
I have read the Chinese version of the book twice; the book inspired me quite a lot when I was in very depressed mood. We always try to work harder for getting more, but do not even notice what we already have. This pursuit makes us ignorant, selfish and never say thanks to what gods' have given to us. Reading the book teaches me how to be grateful to my life, to people around me, and to gods!
If you love The Replacements or the Stinsons or Paul or Minnesota or Music or the complexities of LIFE, you must read this book. Wealth of details over 400 pages. Well done Bob, my hats off to you. Paul, Tommy, Chris, Slim, Anita thank you for allowing us strangers into your world. We love you.
Drove 1hr and 44 minutes to a class A ball my nephews played in they lost, but I would do it again. Number 1# and 2# in District I love High School ball especially with NIL in college, Kids are playing harder than ever!

The movie was so horribly done! The actual facts in real life are nowhere near the same as the movie. From Boobies injury, to odessa losing to Abilene to losing to Dallas Carter. None of it happened in real life the way the movie made it. Peter Berg should be ashamed of himself
Definitely makes ya think about your childhood especially if you grew up in Texas as I did in North Texas (The Colony) although it has changed greatly since I was in high school but it’s still home and always a great part of my life. A lot of memories that I have of playing football in my life. The love of the game.....
