In Texas' Gainesville State School, a juvenile detention facility and not-traditional school has a great idea: high school athletics. Half school, half prison, a small group of people dedicated to reforming kids-- a superintendent, principal, coaches, correctional officers-- set up organized football in order to develop their focus and discipline, goals and ability. These kids are success cases in the making, recognizing that it was their own poor choices that got them here but recognizing that although they fumbled their last drive, they have the ball again. This time, no excuses.
