In the 1930s and 1940s, there was nothing bigger in Texas high school football than the Masonic Home Mighty Mites - a group of orphans bound together by hardship and death. These youngsters, in spite of being outweighed by at least 30 pounds per man, were the toughest football team around.

This is a winning tribute to a courageous band of underdogs from a time when America desperately needed fresh hope and big dreams.
