Football coaches often preach about the importance of minute aspects of the game.
They stress the value of every inch, yard, second and point.
Perhaps no team knows the significance of those minuscule increments better than the Palo Verde Panthers after losing the 2008 4A state championship by a single point, 13-12, to Reno's McQueen High.
That one point was the difference between a record-setting perfect season to cherish for a lifetime and a solemn nine-hour bus ride home from Reno to forget as quickly as possible.
