Description: Dusty, Deek, and Mr. Do-Right by Taylor Bell Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description A colorful history of high school football in Illinois Publisher Description From small towns like Metamora, Aledo, and Carthage to East St. Louis and Chicagos South Side, Illinoiss high school football fields have been the proving ground for such future stars as Dick Butkus, Red Grange, and Otto Graham. In Dusty, Deek, and Mr. Do-Right, longtime fan and sportswriter Taylor Bell shares the stories of the greatest players, toughest coaches, most memorable games, and fiercest rivalries in Illinois history. Drawing on dozens of personal interviews, Bell profiles memorable figures such as Tuscolas record-setting quarterback Dusty Burk, Pittsfields brutally demanding yet devoted Coach Donald "Deek" Pollard, and Evanstons Murney "Mr. Do-Right" Lazier, who coached sternly but without prejudice in the racially charged 1960s and 70s. The book also discusses winning programs at schools such as East St. Louis, Mount Carmel, and Joliet Catholic, as well as longstanding rivalries and memorable games in the state playoff and Prep Bowl. The ultimate book for high school football fans in Illinois, Dusty, Deek, and Mr. Do-Right is infused with Bells own love for the game and illustrated with sixty photographs of the players and coaches who made lifetime memories under the Friday night lights. Author Biography Taylor Bell has covered high school and professional sports in Illinois for more than forty years, mostly for the Chicago Daily News and the Chicago Sun-Times. His other books include Sweet Charlie, Dike, Cazzie, and Bobby Joe: High School Basketball in Illinois.
