The Early 70s Permian's first undefeated regular season was in 1970, when they lost in the state finals to Austin Reagan. The Class of 1971 will be remembered as the first class to successfully go through the full 12-year cycle since Permian's beginning in the fall of 1959. It was in 1972 that Gil Bartosh was named Football Coach of the Year. He guided the Boys of Mojo to an undefeated district season. Oh... we won the state championship. |

The MojoLand website came into existence in 1996, as a response to Buzz Bissinger's 'Friday Night Lights' book. I felt there were several bent truths and senstionalized information in the book. Being a graduate of Permian, I found portions of the book to be of no merit. Hence the creation of MojoLand.
The site began as a personal web page. It consisted of a news page, roster, schedule, coaching staff, and playoff history of the football team. In 1998, the Ector County Independent School District was in its second phase of becoming internet friendly and having a site originating from its campus. Along the way more and more features to the site would evolve. The ECISD finally got on track and launched their own site, which included the full athletic programs. In 2000, MojoLand would yield to the school district site and re-focus on the football athletes and their achievements during and after dawning the panther uniform.
 The production of 'Friday Night Lights - the Movie' began in March of 2004 and I had an inside track. MojoLand was the only website on the internet with daily updates and photos, as I was directly involved, being cast as a Permian assistant coach. The inside scoop afforded MojoLand to top One Million internet visitors a month in the Fall of 2005. For 2006, the site featured the first internet-based virtual museum dedicated to a high school football team (Permian) and its history.
MojoLand is entering its 17th and final season for this 2012 go-round. Through the many highs and lows, I have enjoyed corresponding with several of you over the years. There is another Permian website that does the booster club stuff, so Mojo Football on the internet will continue beyond my last hooray. Thank you for your interest of Permian and may the Panthers know that I will still wish them the best.
