Texas High School Football

By Alejandro Munoz High School football in Texas is rated to be one of the hardest and most well played divisions in the United States. ” Football is, after all, a wonderful way to get rid of your aggressions without going to jail for it.” (Heywood Hale Brown). High school football is a sport that has heart, passion, and blood, sweat and tears. It is more than a sport for the people who play it and who watch it. Some players play it for money, some for anger and some for the fun if the sport. In the book Friday Night Lights it shows the heart of a underdog team known as Odessa. The Permians go through many troubling problems, such as a Quarterback who always questions himselfand a All-State running back with a hurt knee. The teams in Texas triumph these problems either to sink or swim their divisions as the first games come up. "Football Quotes." //Think Exist//. Ed. Heywood H. Brown. 5 Jan. 1990.
