This show really hit home for me. I played high school football at Polk High back in the day. This show really does capture what it was like to play varsity level high school football. There were so many similarities to my life that were in the show, be it the love interest, the drama, the ups and downs, and of course the football.
I took my team to state, and thanks to my four touchdowns in that game, we won. I will remember my coach as one of the best men that I have ever met in my life; a mentor that I looked up to. Although my days of playing football are over, and I'm now a shoe salesman with two kids and a wife named Peggy, I'll always have love and respect for the game, and this series reminded me of just how beautiful the experience of high school football is.
