Book: The 80-yard Run: A Twenty-week, Coast-to-coast Quest For The Heart Of High School Football Hopkins tells "the" story of high school football in America, as he chronicles one season from August practices to the Texas 5A Division II championship.
Theron Hopkins tells "the" story of high school football in America, as he chronicles one season from August practices to the Texas 5A Division II championship. Each week, Hopkins covers a different program throughout the country: teams big and small, from public schools and private. During the course of the season, Hopkins gets to know teams, players, families, and fans, and explains their motivations and strategies. And he examines the sensation and power of each game, with all its heartbreak and elation--as well as the coaches who carry each program through the ups and downs, injuries and surprises, every season contains. Like Buzz Bissinger's seminal book, "Friday Night Lights," this touches on all of the drama of the gridiron.
