Download or read book Thursday Night Lights written by Michael Hurd and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2017-10-11 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At a time when "Friday night lights" shone only on white high school football games, African American teams across Texas burned up the gridiron on Wednesday and Thursday nights. The segregated high schools in the Prairie View Interscholastic League (the African American counterpart of the University Interscholastic League, which excluded black schools from membership until 1967) created an exciting brand of football that produced hundreds of outstanding players, many of whom became college All-Americans, All-Pros, and Pro Football Hall of Famers, including NFL greats such as "Mean" Joe Green (Temple Dunbar), Otis Taylor (Houston Worthing), Dick "Night Train" Lane (Austin Anderson), Ken Houston (Lufkin Dunbar), and Bubba Smith (Beaumont Charlton-Pollard). Thursday Night Lights tells the inspiring, largely unknown story of African American high school football in Texas. Drawing on interviews, newspaper stories, and memorabilia, Michael Hurd introduces the players, coaches, schools, and towns where African Americans built powerhouse football programs under the PVIL leadership. He covers fifty years (1920–1970) of high school football history, including championship seasons and legendary rivalries such as the annual Turkey Day Classic game between Houston schools Jack Yates and Phillis Wheatley, which drew standing-room-only crowds of up to 40,000, making it the largest prep sports event in postwar America. In telling this story, Hurd explains why the PVIL was necessary, traces its development, and shows how football offered a potent source of pride and ambition in the black community, helping black kids succeed both athletically and educationally in a racist society.

Book excerpt: The Last Summer is a story of friendships that were born on a baseball field in a small but growing North Carolina town. Swansville once had baseball fever, and over a decade later, a group of twelve-year-old boys reignite the love of baseball for everyone in town. Narrator Carson Smith is nearly thirty-eight years old as he looks back on the magical summer when he was only twelve years old. Carson, or sometimes called Worm, as in bookworm, chronicles his and his teammates’ summer playing Little League Baseball before a new middle school is built on the other side of town. The new middle school will split up the boys, and the town will eventually need to choose sides, but for one last summer, everyone in Swansville cheers for the boys from the brown water of Pisgah Lake. Carson has always lived in the shadow of his twin sister, Whitley, until the summer of 1994, when his all-star baseball team begins to have success. She reluctantly follows the team on their quest to Williamsport, Pennsylvania. New student Wyatt Hartley becomes the missing piece of a talented but flawed Little League all-star team. Drake Duckworth and Darren “Ogre” Winslow happily concede to the new boy in town as he takes the reins of leadership, but Travis Harrison and his dad, Coach Alex, will not let the newcomer take over without a challenge. Wyatt and Carson’s unlikely friendship strengthens each other’s weaknesses as the two boys navigate the final months of the sixth grade and the last summer before becoming teenagers. Their bond stays strong despite the challenges of growing up.
