From the best players to the best coaches and some of the most legendary schools and teams in US history, Texas high school football has it all. High School Football in Texas takes an inside look at the state’s greatness in the sport, including those who’ve gone on to be stars as collegiate players or pros.

Players and coaches featured include Mean Joe Greene, Earl Campbell, Andy Dalton, Eric Dickerson, and many more. Covering several generations, this book presents high school football in a manner never done before. Some of the great stories featured recount how future Hall of Famer Drew Brees never got onto the field in his first high school football scrimmage, and how Mean Joe Greene wanted to be a running back like Gale Sayers and Jim Brown. High School Football America founder Jeff Fisher provides amazing anecdotes and interviews with the many who’ve experienced Texas high school football from every imaginable angle. 
 
“There's a reason Texas high school football inhabits a sacred place in America's sporting imagination . . . [Fisher’s] deft storytelling and understanding of how the power of a simple game turns boys into men and transforms their communities is a testament to his passion for the sport.” —Joe Drape, New York Times-bestselling author of Our Boys

    If John Gierach is living in a fool's paradise, then it's a paradise that his regular readers will recognize and new fans will delight in discovering. Laced with the inimitable blend of wit and wisdom that have made him fly-fishing's foremost scribe, Fool's Paradise chronicles the fishing life in all its glory (catching your biggest fish ever) and squalor (being stranded in a tent during a soaking rainstorm). In Gierach's world, both experiences are valuable, and perhaps inevitable.Fishermen everywhere will understand Gierach's quest to discover and explore new waters, the unlikely appeal of winter fly-fishing, or his dismay at encroaching development. Braving trips on small prop planes and down "Oh-My-God" roads, Gierach and his fishing buddies pursue bull trout in British Columbia, steelhead in the Rocky Mountains, and pike so fierce that a wise fisherman wears Kevlar gloves for the obligatory trophy photo.Equal parts fishing lore, philosophy, and great fish stories, Fool's Paradise may not be a perfect substitute for actually being out on the water, but it's surely the next best thing.
