The Boys from Little Mexico: a Season Chasing the American Dream
Steve Wilson
For nineteen straight years, the all-Hispanic boys? soccer team from Oregon?s Woodburn High has made the playoffs. As they prepare to make it twenty, one thing will become clear: Los Perros play the beautiful game with heart, pride, and their lives on the line. Their spirited drive gives a rare sense of hope and unity to a blue-collar farming community that has been transformed by waves of immigrants over recent decades, a town locals call ?Little Mexico.? Watched over by a south Texas transplant?a surrogate father to half the squad?this band of brothers must learn to come together on the field and look after each other off it.
More than just riveting sports writing, The Boys from Little Mexico is about the fight for the future of the next generation?and a hard, true look at boys dismissed as gang-bangers, told to ?go home? by lily-white sideline crowds. The wins and losses they notch along the way spin a striking tale about what it takes to capture the American Dream.
