Where are They Now?

In this blog post, we are supposed to go beyond the book, and look deeper into the book itself. I am looking up a few of the players on the 1988 Permian Panthers football team.

James "Boobie" Miles- After Boobie quit the team, he went on to play for a junior college, but he dropped out. Boobie jumped around from jobs and couldn't find one suitable for him. Now Boobie is a single father of four working at a maintenance company.

Mike Winchell- Mike now works for a surveying company and plays golf on the Iron Man Tour circuit.

Brian Chavez- Brian followed his dream and went to Harvard and graduated from Harvard and Texas Tech in law. Brian has been working at his father's firm in Odessa since 1996.

Ivory Christian- Ivory didn't go anywhere. He is a long haul trucker and he works for a trucking company that is based in Odessa.

Don Billingsley- Don has changed probably the most tremendously out of all of the players, he went from the hell-raising party boy, to a devoted Christian. Don now sells insurance in the Dallas area with his wife and two daughters.

Jerry McDougal- Jerry was known for his drive and under-sizedness. He now owns a concrete company that is right outside of San Antonio.

Gary Gaines- Gary still coaches to this day. He has been all around Texas working for all sorts of high schools throughout the large state. From Texas Tech to his current job at San Angelo Central High School.
