It's Monday morning, and we all know what that means. Only four days till Friday night. The night that our Dillon Panthers bring the hammer down on the Westerby Mustangs. Who wants to talk Panther football, I'm all ears. Woman: Hey, Sammy, this is Susan from South Bain. This new coach, uh, Coach Taylor, right? Sammy: Eric Taylor, that's right. Woman: Well, he... he's got himself a lot of pressure right now, and there's lots of expectations on him, and what the heck is going on there? You got a news crew following him around every step of the preseason. Who does he think he is? Mack Brown? He's no Mack Brown, I'll tell you right now. Sammy: Well, now, Susan, I don't think anybody is, but let me tell you something. He has stepped into the number one team in Texas. Woman: That's right. Sammy: And he does have a news crew followin' him. I agree with you, and that's a lot of added pressure, but it's lettin' him know how important this football is to us here in Texas. Woman: Well, I want to add my voice to that... to that...

Football is life in the town of Dillon, Texas. No one knows that better than new Head Coach Eric Taylor and his team of Dillon Panthers, but no one is prepared for the ways they will all be tested in the days and weeks to come.
