(Novel. Texas High School Football.

Written by veteran football coach, Neal Morgan, the novel is set in the dead center of Texas' Golden Triangle,a section roughly encompassed by the cities of Beaumont, Port Arthur, and Orange.Narrates one full year in the lives of Jake Hart and Davy Joe Milam, two hilariously cynical, veteran high school coaches. The pair wage a coaching comeback in an area inhabited by rabid football fans, the KKK, a mystic Afro-Comanche guru, and some colorful Cajuns. Endorsed by Bum Phillips, Houston Oilers and New Orleans Saints; Larry L. King, Author "The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas; Bob West, Sports Editor, The Port Arthur News, and Coach Lance Van Zandt, Texas Aggies, Nebraska Cornhuskers, and Alabama Crimson Tide, the book is highly recommended by practically all high school football coaches who have read it.

Cleverly woven into the plot is a love story, a bitter rivalry between two coaches, the impact of a scholarly, superstar black athlete, and the animosity that often exists between coaches and administrators. Created from those adversarial conditions is a haunting suicide, and eye-opening look at prayer in schools,the antics of the KKK, and sweet revenge. Must reading for football fans and Texana buffs alike.
