GAINESVILLE, Fla. _ On a sunny Tuesday afternoon, the Tornadoes are like thousands of other Texas high school football players. They're out on a practice field, trying to get better, trying to be ready for their next moment under the Friday night lights.
The offense looks in good shape as a speedy receiver grabs a short pass in the middle of the field, darts to his right, and then outruns a defender to the end zone.
"I'm too fast for him, dude!" he yells.
When he turns back toward his teammates, you can see his smile.
And behind him, the arching 20-foot fence topped with razor wire.
