Inside Uvalde football's transformative, emotional season that uplifted a grieving town

The low-ranked Uvalde High School football program’s transformative year helped uplift the grief-stricken community.

Uvalde:365 is a continuing ABC News series reported from Uvalde and focused on the Texas community and how it forges on in the shadow of tragedy.

From the roar of the crowd to the hot summer air, this football stadium could be any Texas town on a Friday night.

But this is a Friday night in Uvalde.

Uvalde's Honey Bowl Stadium is just 2.4 miles from Robb Elementary School, where 19 children and two teachers were killed in a mass shooting on May 24, 2022, that shook the nation.
