"The selfperpetuating notions of superiority that spread over one half and inferiority that spread over the other. The Permian-Odessa High game had become a clash of values-between the nouvea riche east side of town and the older, more humble west, between white and Hispanic, between rich and poor.
This quote is talking about the rivalry between the two schools, Permian and Odessa High that has lasted twenty three years. The two sides hate each other and rarely go into each others side of town. They said they have their own Mason Dixon line that divides them like they are at war. Odessa hadnt won in 23 years and once the game started they had some life. On the opening kickoff the got a good stop but that was their last one of the game. Permian crushed them in every aspect of the game. The two sides were going to go on and keep hating each other for at least another year longer until Odessa can show their worth and win in a football game. Fans were waiting outside the gate on Sunday when the tickets didint even come on sale until tuesay. That is hwo big football is in Texas.
