Fourth Down in Texas

by Matt Wixon

Is football too big to die? Longtime high school coach Gordon "Tuffy" Nehls always thought so, but now a wave of anti-football sentiment is threatening the staple of American culutre. In Fourth down in Texas, Coach Nehls leads his players on one more magical ride as the school districts considers eliminating the football program. Envisioning a dark future when entrepreneurs and street agents control high school football, Nehls defends the sport he loves while coming to grips with a changing world and living with the regret of a decision that altered a player's life forever.
