Summary: A well-researched history of a phenomenal high school team
Review: Veteran sports writer Al Pickett presents Team Of The Century: The Greatest High School Football Team In Texas is the true story of the Abilene High School Eagles, who won an incredible seventy-eight games and lost only seven from 1954 to 1957, earning three consecutive state championships. Led by a coach who knew how to garner support from the whole community for his program that transformed ordinary high schoolers into virtual legends, the team earned its place in Texas history when they were designated the "Team of the Century" by the Dallas Morning News in 1999. A well-researched history of a truly phenomenal high school team's hard-earned success.
