Historic Photos of Chattanooga Book

Love these books where they follow a sports team through a season. The connection between the school, the community and the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina made this even better to read. One thing I was amazed with was how these kids had to find a new school to go to when Katrina demolished their school. Other public highschools (some outside of the state) seemed to try to recruit these kids to help their school's football program win a state championship. The kids were vulnerable and yet in the long run they were the one's who got punished with some of them being suspended for taking money or presents. This amazes me because when you are a kid and have just lost your house and your belongings to a Hurricane and a booster from another school offers you a place to stay and your parents a job in return to you going to your school what are you supposed to do.
