{"product_id":"were-going-to-state","title":"We're Going to State","description":"We're Going to State is a heartfelt and richly textured memoir that follows a young man fresh out of college who takes a gamble on his dream of coaching high school football in rural Texas. What begins as an uphill battle for a first-time coach in a small town with no winning tradition unfolds into a deeply human story of grit, growth, and the spirit of a community rallying behind a team. Told with warmth, wit, and an eye for the personalities that define small-town life, this story, based on actual events, captures the heart of what it means to lead with character, coach with passion, and believe in people before they believe in themselves.\n\nAs Coach Jonas navigates the eccentric school board, wins over skeptical ranchers, and unites a ragtag team of farm boys, he finds allies in unlikely places—including a legendary rancher named Ms. Hattie and a wise young quarterback with a West Point dream. From coaching strategies to back porch wisdom, barbershop politics to Halloween pranks, Going to State celebrates the magic of football as a metaphor for life, leadership, and second chances. It’s a story for anyone who’s ever chased a dream, mentored a young soul, or loved the game that teaches us to never give up.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B0FJHQTDY5\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.B0FJHQTDY5.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Jonas, RF\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
