Quotable:
“Watching the 2008 Panthers defeat rival Midland Lee, 35-17 last month, the former teammates revisited old stories, like when Billingsley edged out McDougal for Permian’s ‘Mr. Mojo’ by a single vote. They laughed and patted each other in the back, even as McDougal shook his head at Billingsley—’But you voted for yourself!’
They stared at the new versions of themselves on the field and screamed every time the Panthers scored. The three got emotional when asked what they missed most, all of them stressing the friendships formed through those four years of football. At one point, each went silent for a moment, stuck in time. They were back in 1988, back in high school, back on the field, back in character.
Twenty years, it turns out, isn’t all that long.” – ESPN The Mag’s Friday Night Lights 20 years later retrospective
