Odessa high schools calm football rivalry in wake of mass shooting

In the football-crazed state, the conflict between Permian and Odessa High has achieved legendary status, chronicled in the book, film and TV series “Friday Night Lights.” The teams usually bring their community together by clashing on the field — but this year, after their hometown suffered a mass shooting that left seven people dead, the two teams are putting the rivalry aside.
