Cleats

by Mark A. Osborne, Amelie Frank (Editor), John Thomas (Foreword)

Seventy-five color illustrations of acrylic paintings of the Oak City Red Dogs football team decorate this completely researched history of a high school team that spanned from 1957 to 1995. Artist, and former Red Dogs player, Mark Osborne, tells the story of eight significant seasons and what happened to a few of the stars during their playing days and after they graduated. There is hard-hitting football coupled with romance, tragedy, and the Vietnam War. Osborne's artwork even depicts the players coming together after 60 years to show their team unity to this day. If you played football, this is a definite treasure.
