520    "Jim Dent takes readers to the heart of the Texas gridiron
       with the incredible story of the state's high school 
       football intergration. In the summer of 1964, a high 
       school all-star team lost the most significant football 
       game in Texas' proud history to the Pennsylvania Big 33 
       squad. Three months later, Coach Bobby Layne met with the 
       governor, determined to prevent another loss. His 
       important request: authorization to recruit black all-
       stars for his new squad. It was an ambitious plan: Texas 
       high school football, launched in 1910, was dominated by 
       white players, even though the state was flush with great 
       black stars, some of whom would become the most notable 
       players in the history of the NFL. And Layne's scheme 
       never would have worked without two very special young men
       --happy-go-lucky quarterback Bill Bradley, and his Big 33 
       roommate, Jerry "the Jet" Le Vias, a speedy receiver who 
       was also the first black athlete to sign to a letter-of-
       intent with a Southwest Conference school, SMU. Bradley 
       looked out for Le Vias--one of only three black players 
       chosen for the team--uniting the integrated team. Together
       --and with Layne's indomitable will to win--the two led 
       their team to triumphant victory in Hershey park. With 
       this moving story, reminiscent of Remember The Titans, Jim
       Dent once again brings readers to cheers and tears with a 
       truly American tale of leadership, brotherhood, and good 
       old Friday Night Lights style football"--|cProvided by
