The Apache Gift

In Vallejo, California, in 1954, a most extraordinary football season came to its conclusion for the Vallejo High School team. The team was undefeated, and Sports Illustrated wrote that the team was most likely the best high school football team in America. In addition, the magazine wrote that Dick Bass, the team's star running back, was the best running back in the nation. The young men on the team had experienced something that only dreams are made of-a special time, a special season, and a season to remember. The Apache Gift tells the story of this incredible experience.
