"Good Losers" takes us to a small Midwestern town called Coral. It has only had its own high school for five years and its football team has never won a single game, going 0-45. On top of that, their head football coach has just quit only a few weeks before the start of fall football practice to take a teaching job in another state. Enter Coach Henry Gayton, a highly successful but now retired Hall of Fame head college football coach who lives in Coral. Discouraged at first with the lack of talent, Coach is determined to make them into winners. The only really talented player, initially, is Dexter Middleton. But building a whole team around a lineman, even a great one, is very difficult. Along the way, Coach is able to add several players to the team and this is the story of how this group of "losers" came together to become not only a team but a family. This story has been floating around in the back of the author's mind for over 40 years and now he would like to share it with you. There are sad parts, happy parts, and funny parts. Hopefully, you will have as much fun reading it as the author had writing it.
