The film revolves around the world of football at a high school in Dallas, Texas, in the 1980s. It is these events that embody the story of the team because it has to overcome the enormous difficulties in order to win and get his goal in the state championship award.
It's a narrative ready-made for the big screen -- the flipside to the feel-good story that was Friday Night Lights, in which the Carter Cowboys played a major role as the big-city villains who wrested away Odessa Permian's rightful title.
