Though another athlete who played in the NFL is often credited for being the first Black Texas basketball player, Bubba Ephriam broke the color barrier in his sport in March 1957. He led the Pecos High School Eagles to their first outright district title and the UIL state basketball tournament. Bubba grew up in a migrant farm family during pivotal years of segregation and integration. The Brown v.

His first game with the Pecos Eagles was on December 1, 1955, the same day Rosa Parks was arrested in Montgomery, Alabama, launching a historic 381-day bus boycott. Follow this inspirational story as Bubba plays the game he loves through a turbulent period before pursuing a distinguished career in the US Armed Forces.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWhen you begin reading this book, you can't put it down. It is easy reading. There are two kinds of people in this world; those that are saved and those that are unsaved. The book will be support to the saved and "door opening" for the unsaved. Christ and football are the common denominators that tie it together. I knew Coach Glover when I played against one of his Etowah County football teams in 1948 while I attended Woodlawn High School. I think they beat us 2-0 in a driving rain. Reading about Jim and Jerry's experiences, with being saved, and having Jerry find out what "grace " is all about is the way it happened in my life. I joined the church and was baptized when I was eleven years old. I was 23 years old before I understood that I was saved by "grace" and not by my works. After reading this book, I'm fired up and ready to go again. Bobby Bowden Head Football Coach Florida State University

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn Alabama, football is king. It dominates many aspects of life in the southern state. For Jerry Glover, the former head student manager for the University of Alabama's Crimson Tide, life was rolling along at a strong and desirable clip despite some of his deceptive and potentially destructive actions. But as coach Paul "Bear" Bryant taught him and the other members of the football team, you need to be ready for any quick change in your life's direction, like you would for a fumble or an interception on the gridiron. His father's illness made Glover take an inward look at his own life and where it was headed as Jesus Christ entered his world in a dynamic and supernatural way. After forty-four years of denying and hiding, Glover witnessed what he needed to see-that those who play properly win. As Glover puts himself under center in this play-by-play account of his life, he challenges and inspires you to do the same so that you, too, can know the rewards of living your life the right way, without denial or delusions and affirming a powerful and transformative commitment to God.
