He focuses on six of the players and the agonies and triumphs and they even experience racist and economically challenges that they have to face because of the nature of the oil business and the life conditions in the area in which they live.   Amozon review--  Secular religions are fascinating in the devotion and zealousness they breed, and in Texas, high school football has its own rabid hold over the faithful. H.G. Bissinger, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, enters into the spirit of one of its most fervent shrines: Odessa, a city in decline in the desert of West Texas, where the Permian High School Panthers have managed to compile the winningest record in state annals. Indeed, as this breathtaking examination of the town, the team, its coaches, and its young players chronicles, the team, for better and for worse, //is// the town; the communal health and self-image of the latter is directly linked to the on-field success of the former. The 1988 season, the one //Friday Night Lights// recounts, was not one of the Panthers' best. The game's effect on the community--and the players--was explosive. Written with great style and passion, //Friday Night Lights// offers an American snapshot in deep focus; the picture is not always pretty, but the image is hard to forget. //--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.//
