All we know is my speed...

That's 100 miles per hour.

Nah, let me stop playing.

Competition.

Everything we do,

we compete. Every time

we touch this football field,

we compete, compete, compete.

No, we don't take it easy

during practice.

I mean, Coach wants us to,

but, uh, no.

We too busy trying

to knock each other's heads off.

Don't show your coverage!

Don't show your coverage!

All right.

There he is. There he is.

Hey! Hey, now!

What if somebody gets hurt?

Hurt, somebody else step up.

That's the way it go.

And that's it.

All right, all right,

bring it in.

Bring it in.

Yo, it's game time, come on,

lit like gasoline

- Come on. - Come on, they ain't

got the right frame of mind

They ain't even got

the athletes

Does the star shine bright

on the Friday night lights...

Listen to me.

Nothing worth having...

is gonna be easy.

You just can't show up

and think, "That's it."

Ain't nothing free, fellas.

Nothing.

Now it may appear that way,

but don't be deceived.

Coach, you got anything?

Yes, sir, I do.

I'm gonna need my defense

to stay with me

at the closed practice.

- Oh, man. -All right, okay,

okay, all right, listen.

Yeah.

Make sure you stay out

of trouble

and be a leader,

not a follower, all right?

- Yes, sir.

- All right, come on, come on.

- Bring it in. -Bring it in here!

Bring it in here!

All right, "Cowboys" on three.

One, two, three!

Cowboys!

Good job.

- Hey, have fun, PK.

- Good luck.

Where are my Cowboys at?

Where are my Cowboys?

Listen up. Listen up. Listen up.

Have y'all ever heard

fans cheering,

"Come on, offense,

hold that line"?

No, sir.

Have you ever heard fans yelling

"Offense! Offense!"?

Or holding some signs

or messing

with some mess like that?

No, sir!

- Derric, what they yell?

- Defense, Coach.

- They yell what?

- Defense!

- They yell what?!

- Defense!

Have you ever heard

"Offense wins championships"?

No, sir!

- Yes. Yes.

- Coach?

Huh? What's up, Rod?

Crowd don't get loud

for the offense.

It's a distraction.

And the quarterback gonna

tell you to be quiet.

- Man... -Oh, no, no, no.

He all right. He all right.

Come-come... come here, Rod.

Come-come here.

Now, you see that fence

down there?

Yes, sir.

I want you to sprint... not jog...

Sprint to that fence

and find me a marble

and do not come back

until you do, you understand me?

Yes, sir.

'Cause your buddies here

are gonna be running

until you get back.

- Oh, man!

- Man! -Coach!

Let's go! On the 50!

- Man.

- You better run, boy!

You won't be starting.

On the 50. Let's go!

Guys, the game is all

about adjustments.

Okay, now we win the game

when we adjust

to what they're gonna do before

they even adjust to it.

It's about adjustments,

goddamn it.

What the hell did he just say?

Man, he talking about

adjustments and adjusting.

- We got to adjust...

- Watch here on this play.

So we can adjust that ass

just like that. -

Hey, come on, y'all! Derric,

what's so important you want to

share with the rest of the team?

Coach, we just over here

talking about adjustments.

All right, let me worry

about the adjustments.

You worry about learning 'em.

All right, I'm gonna let you

all go home early.

What? Early?

Listen, when you guys

go home tonight,

make sure you get some rest.

All right, quit chasing

them girls all night.

There's gonna be plenty of time

for that in college.

All right? Let's go.

You okay?

I think... I'm losing them.

You know, all these years,

I've never seen you take a game

so serious.

It was only a tie, Freddie.

Jessie's parents...

They said he got probation

for stealing that T-shirt.

What?

Football should...

Football is supposed

to build character.

It's got to prepare these boys

for life.

I mean, that's why I do this.

And you are doing a great job.

Well, not if my boys

are stealing T-shirts.

It was during the summer.

Look, you-you can't protect them

forever.

All you can do is instill

good morals

in 'em and hope that they stick.

Is that enough?

It's a start.

What about state?

State will take care of itself.

You just make sure these boys

have the best opportunity

they can to further

their education.

For free.

Always want something for free.

Uh-uh.

Mm-hmm.

Suspect's in a very light

Jeep Wrangler eastbound.

Driver's license

and insurance, please.

Carter High School?

Sir.

Well, I've been watching y'all

since y'all were freshmen.

Hey, we going

to state this year?

- Oh, no doubt. -For sure.

For sure. -All right.

I'm sure happy to hear that

'cause I'm gonna be

right up front, too.

But, man,

I got to ask you a question.

Now, what happened

with Duncanville?

4-38. 4-38.

We have a robbery in progress

at 1030 West Camp Wisdom.

4-38. Show me

en route, Code 3.

Hey, listen,

I'll holler at y'all.

- Sir.

- Slow this car down.

- Yes, sir. -Going 20 miles

over the speed limit.

- Yes, sir. Thank you. -Good luck

on the game this weekend.

Sir, thank you.

Thank you, sir.

- Hey! -

Hey!

Cowboys, are you ready?

Cowboys,

are you ready?

I said, are you ready?

I said,

are you ready?

I understand that,

but the school improvement

program is set up

to provide a productive

educational opportunity

for these students.

I'm not debating that, sir.

I'm simply saying I've been

using the same grading system

for the last three years.

Hey!

The school improvement plan

calls for these kids

to get a grade sheet every week.

And I give weekly grade sheets!

There ain't no way in the world

you can give these kids

a grade average

using symbols such as

"NC" s and check marks.

lookin' for the beat...

Too bad, too bold!
