Warbirds - How They Played the Game
Grant, who played for the Eagles in 1958 and 1959, writes more than about the streak in this 300-page book that includes photos and original documents. He also writes how it was to live in Abilene in the 1950s.   He answers questions like who recommended Chuck Moser for the head coach position when he wasn t an applicant, what star player almost died because of a leaky gas stove the morning of the 1955 game with San Angelo Central, and what legendary coach was passed over when Moser was hired.   Grant tells why the team was unbeatable, and talks about the coach who preached values and principles as well as X s and O s. --Bill Hart, The Abilene Reporter-NewsThis is a sensational book.  Those were special memories at Abilene High.  My mom (92 years old) read it in one day and loved every page. --Dr. Stuart Peake, Dallas, TX
