Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z As a result, its students were dispersed across the railroad tracks to the remaining two high schools in town, Permian and Odessa High. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z Four members representing Carter flew into town, where five members representing Permian were waiting to meet them. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z Most teams felt intimidated playing Permian because of all the tradition and its history of winning. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z The Associated Press, making its predictions for the season, had picked Permian to win it all. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z It truly seemed as if nothing less than fate herself was working against them, somehow had it in for the Bronchos, who simply could not beat Permian no matter how hard they tried. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z The Permian band came in and began to make its traditional march around the stadium. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z As the black wave of the Permian players moved out into the middle of the held, eight thousand other souls who had filled the home side rose to give a standing ovation. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z On every field of battle Will our banner ever wave, There’ll be a glorious victory for Permian High always. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z The Odessa High fans got tired of the condescending smirks of the Permian fans. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z “There’s four teams left in the state of Texas, and the Permian Panthers are one of those four,” Gaines softly told his players moments before it was time to take to the field. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z And Buice knew that many Odessa High supporters would give academic achievement up in a second for one victory against Permian, just one. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z Trucks carry off skeletons and meteorites and octopi in jars and herbarium sheets and Egyptian gold and South African ivory and Permian fossils. All the Light We Cannot See 2014-05-06T00:00:00Z He started at quarterback his junior year at Permian, but his own obvious lack of confidence caused some of his teammates to lose faith in him in a tight game. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z It was a little after six in the morning when the coaches started trickling into the Permian High School held house. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z Permian had a second and one at the Carter 32 with fifty-six seconds left. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z He came back to practice the following week to the shame of a white practice jersey, and he had no role in Permian’s 42-0 trouncing of Midland High. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z Had he been given the chance, he believed that he could have had a career like the one he had had at Permian. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z That sure as hell wasn’t why he had given up so much to come to Permian, to have a black kid come in and steal away his chance at glory. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z The Carter Cowboys were scared of no one, absolutely no one, and just as the Permian players walked around with a shield of invincibility, so did they, a shield ten times stronger. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z About five thousand Permian fans were already in the stands even though the game was an hour off, and at the sight of the Pepettes they started yelling their familiar chant. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z It came as no surprise that he held the Permian record for the bench press with 345 pounds. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z The curious zigs and zags of the proposed division gave Permian a clear edge over Odessa High in the number of blacks assigned to go there based on where they lived. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z Those were the days of strict segregation, and the idea of playing for Permian was of course almost inconceivable. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z The team had an incredible array of talent, the devout boosters whispered, the best of any Permian team in a decade. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z Off he went down the empty hallways of Permian High School, happy and cheerful, the mailgrams from Nebraska tucked safely away in his knapsack. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z Asked what the purpose of school was at Permian, Don had a simple answer. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z Gardner found the transition to Permian enormously difficult. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z They pointed to the settlement of the desegregation suit and the strange zigs and zags of the boundary line that resulted in Permian’s getting more blacks than Odessa High. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z Permian scored twice more in the first half to go ahead 21-0. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z “I do not like the Permian football program,” he had said. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z Of all the places Permian wanted to play the Carter Cowboys, the Cotton Bowl was the last. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z Gaines and the other Permian coaches were all too aware of the role that high school football occupied in Odessa, how it had become central to the psyche of thousands who lived there. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z When Permian went ahead 35-0 in the third quarter Gaines started to substitute liberally because he didn’t believe in running up the score. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z As a sophomore at Permian he was found wandering around the field house parking lot one day drunk. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z Brian Johnson opened the season with a fifteen-yard run off the right side through a gaping hole to the Permian 47, lurching forward for every possible extra inch. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z The lights dimmed and the players went to find their Pepettes so they could put their arms around them for the singing of the Permian alma mater. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z It was a wonderful accomplishment for a school where the background of many students was far more economically disadvantaged than that of students attending Permian. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z Permian was down by a point with two periods left to play. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z Normally the Permian team held hands in the huddle, but Winchell resisted. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z Permian was easily victorious with a 41-13 score, but if the outburst was designed to steer the players toward greater discipline, it didn’t work. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z Wilkins weighs 136 pounds, and of all the kamikazes who dominate Permian and are eagerly willing to sacrifice their bodies for the great cause of football, he is the most fearless, or foolhardy. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z They were the kinds of values that the Permian fans harbored about themselves. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z Making All-State and gaining a place on the Permian Wall of Fame. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z But the Permian drive sputtered and it was time for Wyles to agonize his way through another field goal, this one from the 30 instead of the 31. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z In 1983, as a result of desegregation the proportion of white students at Permian was 76 percent and that of Hispanics 14 percent. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z Gardner said it was clear to him that girls had to “dumb down” at Permian or else run the risk of being excluded from dating and parties because the boys considered them too smart. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z The Carter team, for no apparent reason, edged over to the Permian sideline en masse. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z When they got together it was over at his grandmother’s, and that’s where his yard sign was, announcing to the world that he was a Permian football player. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z He had had the talent for it, there was little question about that, but the coaches simply didn’t trust Ivory at the show position of the Permian defense. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z For the first time all season, Permian was having trouble moving the ball at all, punting on three of its first four possessions. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z The Panthers were dominating every facet of the game, but fumbles and penalties had kept Permian from leading 35-0 at the half. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z The Rebels scored more points against Permian in a 42-21 win than any team had scored against them in twenty-three years, and Winchell's own performance had been abysmal. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z “I told him, we can have ten merit scholars at school. But if we beat Permian, we get more publicity.” Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z Over its history, Permian had won an awful lot of games it should have lost. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z Each year there was always the dream that this was finally it, the game where the juggernaut of Permian would somehow self-destruct and the sheer emotion of Odessa High would finally prevail. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z When he took the job, the only piece of advice he was given by the outgoing superintendent was never to promise anyone Permian season tickets. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z He won a lot and lost a few and the coach of Permian then, Gene Mayfield, finally told him that he’d be off the team if there was one more fight. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z At about two-twenty in the morning, the members of the Permian team arrived by bus from San Angelo at the field house. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z Permian scored three touchdowns in the second half to defeat Port Arthur Jefferson 28-19 and win its third state championship in one of the great upsets in modern Texas high school history. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z The Permian players ran to the locker room with whoops and hollers, relieved that their ascendancy was safe for another year. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z But, thanks to Shawn Crow, never, ever Permian football. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z When Mike was a junior at Permian, his brother took him to meet David McWilliams, the Texas head coach, and an assistant later took Mike into the field house and showed him the weight room. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z “I’m just living for the day that Odessa High beats Permian,” said Vickie Gomez, the thought bringing a smile to her usually serious lips. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z Bridgitte said she had been advised by a teacher at Permian not to take the SAT exam until after the football season because of her myriad duties as a cheerleader. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z It was enshrined in the proclamation from the city council that hung on a bulletin board, honoring one of Permian’s state championship teams. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z Permian ran eighteen plays on that first drive out of ten dif-ferent formations. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z “Some of you haven’t played before, been in the spotlight,” said assistant coach Tam Hollingshead in those waning hours before Permian would take the field against El Paso Austin. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z So is Gaines, who spends most of halftime staring at his play sheet, knowing that without the sloppiness Permian would have twenty-one points instead of just three. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z The enormous phalanx of the Permian band, led by the ma-jorettes in their black velvet costumes, unfolded like the Russian army in a Victory Day parade in Moscow. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z Permian’s Robert Brown took the ball and barely got to the 15 before he was smothered by a crowd of Odessa High defenders. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z Permian moves to a fourth and five at the Marshall 28. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z Boobie was on a schedule that would give him the required course credits to graduate from Permian. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z Marshall fumbles the kickoff and Permian recovers deep inside Maverick territory at the 37. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z It wasn’t necessary to live in Odessa for long to realize that the Permian football team wasn’t just a high school team but a sacrosanct white institution. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z He was aware of it—everybody in town was—but up until the sixth grade Permian was off-limits to him because the school system was segregated. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z “Everybody’s into football. Football is the sport. I wouldn’t say it’s an honor or anything but it’s looked up to: ‘Wow, you’re going out with a football player, a Permian football player.’ Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z But a few minutes later they indicated it wasn’t noise from the band they were worried about at all, but the ramifications of putting white supporters of Permian next to black supporters of Carter. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z Two quick passes from Winchell to split end Lloyd Hill gave Permian a first down at the El Paso Austin ten. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z Permian beat Amarillo Tascosa in the first round of the playoffs with ease, 31 — 7. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z You had an outstanding junior year at Permian and I am sure your senior year will be even better. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z But twenty-five years later, about forty miles up the road in Odessa at Permian, there was some consolation. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z Although his name was a household word among Permian fans, he didn’t have season tickets anymore. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z A stinging editorial in the school newspaper, the Permian Press, applauded a new rule prohibiting Pepettes from placing candy in players’ lockers every Friday. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z At the upper end of Odessa that week were the delirious fans of Permian, virtually all of them white, preparing themselves for that greatest moment of all, a state championship game. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z The Carter contingent said it would only consider playing there if the Permian band, Pepettes, and student section were moved from their normal location on the visitor’s side to the home side. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z Nothing else in town, not even the resurgence of the oil industry in another frenzied boom, could give the west side the same sort of psychological lift as a win over Permian. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z Carter’s Hall dropped back to pass with a first and ten at the Permian 48. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z Just as he was used to football injuries, he was also used to lavish attention, as was every former Permian player who had once been ordained a star. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z His mother was livid at what had happened, but the player pleaded with her not to push it because he feared it might interfere with his career at Permian and be held against him. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z When he learned that Permian had the game safely in hand, he then took his medicine. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z During the seventies, it had been normal for Permian to have seven seniors qualify as National Merit semifinalists. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z The third quarter ended with Permian still ahead by two points. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z He used the most powerful pull there was for a thirteen-year-old boy living in Odessa, really the only one that gave a kid something to dream about— the power of Permian football. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z The Cowboys took over at the Permian 49 but couldn’t move the ball and had to punt. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z Or, in the aftermath of Boobie’s knee problems, had he just become the new star running back of Permian High School? Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z Cheerleading had a special cachet for girls at Permian as well. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z Three plays later he threw his fourth touchdown pass of the night, tying a Permian record for most touchdown passes in a game. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z One year, an employer simply split the office into two militarized zones on game day, thereby allowing Permian supporters to decorate their half black and Odessa High supporters their half red. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z In 1959 Permian opened, and it hastened the migration of affluent whites away from the downtown to the northeast part of Odessa. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z In seasons past, playing for Permian had meant routinely vomiting during the grueling off-season workouts inside the hot and sweaty weight room. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z It turned out to be their most effective offensive weapon: Permian was called for roughing the kicker and Odessa High got a first down. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z After all, she was just the head of the English department, a job that in the scheme of natural selection at Permian ranked well behind football coach and band director, among others. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z Or they might place their fresh-baked cookies in tins elaborately decorated in the Permian colors of black and white. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z In the waning minutes before game time there was a small stream of black passing white to get to the Carter side, and white passing black to get to the Permian side. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z Some said it was “Oreo! Oreo!” directed at a Permian teacher who was black. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z “When Permian football goes in Odessa,” he said with a laugh late one night, “then everything will go.” Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z “Michael has had so many strikes against him, and has struggled so hard, you just want to see him succeed,” said Deborah Hargis, a social studies and history teacher at Permian. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z When a suburban-style shopping mall was built in 1980 at the height of the oil boom, it opened on the east side of town, just a few blocks away from Permian. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z They had been separated for some time, and it was the first time James senior had ever seen his son play football at Permian. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z It would put an end to the continual allegations that Permian recruited players who lived in the Odessa High district. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z Dwaine was proud of his son, who had started at defensive tackle for Permian in 1987 when the team, the biggest bunch of overachievers ever, had gone all the way to the state semifinals. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z Then Don Billingsley, the starting tailback for the Permian Panthers, got the ball on a pitch. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z He was the embodiment of the myth that had made Permian so enormously popular—small, overachieving, white, fearless. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z The scene on the tarmac at the airport wasn’t as feverish as the one at the parking lot of Ratliff Stadium, where Permian fans had been lined up for two nights to buy tickets. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z The Permian players had been trained and molded to perfection, every ounce of skill extracted and made into something, and it showed stunningly. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z The Permian fans were on their feet, yelling with an urgent poignancy. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z It was a beautiful night and his car was just one of a steady stream of vehicles belonging to Permian supporters making their way back from San Angelo like worshipers returning from a pilgrimage. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z The band always went all the way around the stadium—that was a Permian trademark—but a decision had been made not to go over to the Carter side, presumably because of fears of trouble. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z Because of such an attitude, Permian had established itself as perhaps the most successful football dynasty in the country—pro, college, or high school. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z If Permian was to go to State, they would have to perform in ways that no one had ever imagined, rise to heights beyond even the expectations of the fans. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z Tonight, as in a beauty contest, the boys of Permian would come before the crowd one by one so they could be checked out and introduced. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z There were about eight hundred persons crammed into the Permian High School cafeteria by the time the Watermelon Feed began. Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z Would students living in areas of town that had been the nucleus of Permian talent suddenly find themselves in the Odessa High attendance district? Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, And A Dream 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z Instead, Permian and Carter agreed to a sit-down the Sunday before the game at the Midland airport.
