List of Characters

Boobie Miles, #35:
A 200-pound running back/monster, Boobie was the star of the Permian Panthers. That is, until his cleat got stuck in astro turf during a scrimmage and he blew out his knee. Boobie had a learning disability, and without football, he basically had nothing left.



Brian Chavez, #85:
An excellent football player, Brian's dream wasn't to be a football star, it was to go to Harvard. He was very agressive on the field, but when he wasn't playing football, Brian was more concerned with his schoolwork. This wasn't common for most Permian Players, as most lived for football, and only football.



Don Billingsley, #26:
Starting tailback for the Permian Panthers, Don is constantly trying to live up to the standards his father, Charlie, once set as a Permian football player.



Ivory Christian, #62
The middle linebacker. He used to get in all kinds of trouble, but then decided to turn his life around and condemned anything that wasn't Christian. He didn't take the SAT's or ACT's because he didn't want to go to college, and tries to hate football. He's addicted to the game though, and an excellent player.




Jerrod McDougal, #76
The offensive tackle. Standing at 5'9", Jerrod had little hope of continuing football into college. He loved the game, and was extremely supersticious.






Mike Winchell, #20
The starting quarterback for the Permian Panthers, Mike Winchell was a so-so player when under pressure. He lost his Dad at an early age, and his home life wasn't the best. He was there for the team, though, and continued to try his hardest.



Coach Gary Gaines:
As coach of the Panthers, Gary Gaines was under a lot of pressure to help his team succeed. If they failed, the whole town turned against him until he redeemed himself with a few wins.
