Must Win: A Season of Survival for a Town and Its Team

Must Win: A Season of Survival for a Town and Its Team , 2012

Set amid the cotton, pine and swamps of deepest South Georgia, Must Win chronicles the lives, loves and dramas of the Valdosta Wildcats, the country’s most storied high school football team, as it tries to regain past glory. Once a symbol of all that is unchanging in America -- sons playing in front of fathers and grandfathers, creased men in pickups offering steak dinners as reward for gridiron glory, Friday nights in the 11,000-seat stadium central to the town's social fabric -- the 'Cats now represent the inevitability of change. Yet this team and its fans still believe in the power of a game to overcome all. Must Win is the American story written across a bright, green playing field.
