Summary

Football is a staple of American culture, but longtime high school coach Gordon "Tuffy" Nehls is now seeing it threatened by a wave of anti-football sentiment. In Fourth Down in Texas, Coach Nehls leads his players through a challenging and magical season as his school district considers eliminating the football program. Envisioning a dark future when entrepreneurs and street agents control high school football, Nehls battles to protect his players from the club coaches recruiting them and other outside forces trying to pull them apart. Fourth Down in Texas is a story of coaches and players, fathers and sons, lifetime bonds, and the future of football. It's about living for the moment.

"There couldn't be a more timely sports story, because it's not just about football, it's about what our culture values. Wixon has written a great, accessible book that gave me chills in its final lines." (Mark Falkin, author of Contract City and The Late Bloomer)
