Mike Winchell
A utility defender for the Panthers, McDougal’s family has lost a great deal of money in the oil bust of the late 1980s, and McDougal is frustrated by what he considers the two major emphases of Texas life: oil and football. But McDougal also does not see a way out of these two “industries,” and he plays and enjoys football because he feels it is the thing he ought to do, as a young man in Texas. McDougal is devastated after Permian’s loss to Carter in the state semis.
