"I knew at that moment id given everything i had to give, total commitment. Not holding back anything. Like being truly clean and turly free as far as maximum effort. Its an emotional feeling, an emotional high that is basically unparalleled."
This quote summarizes everything that a football player feels before the big game. They want to know if everything they have worked for since little league will be worth it. If all their practice in the heat of summer and cold of winter will be worth it. If all the sprints and practices have made them better and if they will be prepared of what will come in this upcoming game. The coach gave them a good speach that every single coach gives before the game. They do it to get the players pumped up before the game and get them ready to go out into waht is going to be a 48 minute battle of nonstop hitting and ferocity.
Once the game started the two teams beat each other up for the whole first half. Permian was winninng 6-0 at the start of the third quarter. Dallas quarter was all around bigger faster and better than permian. But the MOJO tradition of their football school led them to beleive that they could beat anybody even these guys. At the end of the game they ended up losing but their season was looked at as a failure.

This looks like a pretty good book you got here Jake. I have seen the movie and I was wondering how close the book follows it? I am a big football fan and I think I would enjoy reading it.
