Friday Night Farmers: The History of the Lewisville Fighting Farmers (English Edition)

What began as a book about the first state championship for the Lewisville Fighting Farmers, Friday Night Farmers quickly expanded to cover the history of the football program. After learning much about the teams history of success in its early years, it became apparent to author Gary D. Kerbow that there was much more to the Lewisville Farmers than the team‘s first state championship in 1993. So, chapters were added too include the history of the town, a year-by-year chronicle of each season, and even a well known but often exaggerated story of the team‘s involvement in thwarting a bank robbery attempt in 1946. You‘ll get to know some of the prominent players and the roles they played in the success of the football program. There‘s even the inclusion of a chapter about the award winning band, whose endless support became inspirational to the team down through the years. Finally, there‘s a detailed chapter about the origin of the many traditions that are still alive and well in Fighting Farmer land. To round things out, you‘ll meet the coaches whose influence shaped the excellence characteristic of this program. If you aren‘t a Farmer fan when you pick this book up, hopefully you will be after reading it.
