Differences and Similarties Between Book and Movie

The movie followed the book really well. Some similarities between the book and the movies is when Boobie Miles hurts his knee. . Also similar was when Boobie went to the hospital in Midland Lee to find out when he could play football again. The doctor really felt that he shouldn't play the rest of the season but Boobie got defensive and started saying that the doctor didn't want him to play just because he was from Midland. He came back 3 weeks later in the game against Midland Lee and hurt it again it ended up ending his High School football career. Really the only difference i could see between the book and the movie was the book said that Odessa Permian Panthers lost in the semifinals of the state tournament to the Carter Cowboys where in the movie it has them losing to the Cowboys in the state championship game. We liked the way the book and the movie went along with each other.
