Winning the state championship in football-crazed Texas is the holy grail for high school coaches.
Newton, Texas, is a sleepy little town nestled in the piney woods of southeastern Texas where the residents live for what they lovingly call Friday night church.
In December 2018 a video of the Newton Eagle coach went viral on sports and non-sports platforms as millions of people watched.
In his emotional postgame interview, W.
Johnston recounted how he had been given only a few months to live.
But during his long coaching career, every one of his teams heard the same message.
I told them I was going to teach them football, but I was going to teach them something more important.
How to live until you die.
This is the story of a remarkable coach and the miracle that allowed him to pursue championship dreams.
Between the White Lines is a story of courage, faith, and community that will inspire and challenge you.
