Waste of time and money!!!!!

The book is a dissapointment to the people of our parish. He made us sound foolish and ingnorant and the coach sound horrible. He is a good man and he stands by ALL his players. It is a game of discipline and requires you to be tuff but not as evil as he sounds in this book. I am very unhappy about the book and I am ashamed that people are reading it and thinking this about our team!

Do not waste your money

I am from this town, and this book was more than a disappointment. Longman seemed like a nice man while he was down here interviewing everybody, and our town was excited about this book about our football team. I bought it as soon as it came out, and didn't even finish reading it. Longman is condescending to the people of Plaquemines Parish. He makes it sound as if we are all ignorant hillbillies that do nothing. He published private information that was uncalled for. The book also had some questionable quotes. There is so much profanity in the book that after only the first few chapters, I skipped to read only about the people I knew. Longman did not pay much attention to details either because some of the names in the book are incorrect. He made our coach seem like a fool. I am upset that this book is available for people to read and get the wrong impression of our home. We accepted this man into our community, we trusted him, and he turned around and wrote this.
