Bissinger: Combination of sports and academics a formidable force


NEW PHILADELPHIA, OH —


When you combine sports and academics, you’ve created a formidable force. That’s the message H.G. Bissinger, author of the best-selling “Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team and a Dream,” hopes to convey during Tuesday’s program at the Tuscarawas Campus of Kent State University. “I also want to point out the danger that comes when sports become the be all and the end all of life,” Bissinger said. “I’ve seen this happen first hand.” Bissinger said he loves doing this type of program and is very flattered his book was selected for the One Book, One Community initiative.
