#9 - Mike Winchell - "Friday Night Lights"
I took up this book in high school and absolutely loved it. So dramatic and as far as I am concerned they did a pretty fair job turning it into a movie although the movie it is not entirely accurate. Here you have this no-name QB who is mostly level-headed, but prone to nerves. His play is unspectacular, but effective. He feels a lot of pressure from the town and peers alike. In addition, he isn't really getting any looks from major colleges because the entire team is built around the main man in the backfield, Boobie Miles. Well Boobie's career is cut short due to a knee injury and ole Mike has to step up. They have there bumps and bruises but manage to get into the playoffs and advance to the Texas State Championship Game against the Dallas Carter. Anyway, Winchell is a gamer in my book.
Mike Winchell: This is for the state championship. I love all of ya'll, baby. I love all of ya'll
Mike Winchell: He designed his offense around one player. We're dead.
Brian Chavez: We're not dead. You just need to start throwing the ball.
Don Billingsley: We're dead.
