- Summary
-
- "A heartbreaking and inspiring true story of a New Orleans high school football team and their head coach's mission to protect his players' lives"--
- Short on hope but big on dreams, the mostly poor and marginalized residents of the New Orleans neighborhood of Algiers find joy on Friday nights when the Cougars of Edna Karr High School take the field. For years, this football program has brought glory to Algiers, winning three consecutive state championships and sending dozens of young men to college on football scholarships. Head coach Brice Brown is focused on something else: keeping his players alive during an epidemic of gun violence. Babb follows the Karr football team through its 2019 season as Brown and his team vie to again succeed-- both on and off the field. -- adapted from jacket
