"Gaines's nickel took off from the ceiling at a forty-five-degree angle and ended up toward the back of the room under a camera tripod". (P.258)
This quote is talking about how the three coaches had to do a coin flip to decide which two teams got to go to the playoffs. The teams were the Permian Panthers, the Cooper Cougars, and the Midland High Bulldogs. These three teams were participating in this coin flip because all three teams had finished the regular season with a 8-2 record. The coin toss was taking place at a truck stop but the name of that certain truck stop was kept secret because the teams didn't want any fans or parents to know where it was taking place in case of fights or anything. All at once the three coaches flipped their coins Midland lee's coin was heads, then they checked Cooper's coin it was all worn down but it came up to be tails, then Permian's coin it was all up to their coin it ended up heads so Permian and midland lee were the two teams representing the district in the Texas state playoffs. The Post season was in the future for the Permian Pathers.
