Chris Doelle and Michael Wright, friends and football teammates since junior high school in Texas, turned their love of the game into Friday Night Legends, a team-based representation of high school football across the country and the decades. Launched on Kickstarter in November 2017, FNL is an outgrowth of the pair's Lone Star Gridiron website, dedicated exclusively to curating Texas high school football news, history and stats. With more than 800 high school teams going back to 1907 carded, FNL has built a strong following, evidenced by repeated requests for new teams (they make a great high school reunion gift). FNL's sister game, Saturday Legends, takes the concept to college football, with some tweaks in game play. Chris details the game's origin and the pair's rigorous research method.
