Southlake: Welcome to Perfect City, U.S.A.
Success must be in the water in Southlake. How else to explain the dominance in football and just about every other endeavor athletic or otherwise tackled by these small-town kids with the big houses.
Near the back of the Southwest plane bound for Lubbock, a pretty blonde named LeAnn Herchman twists around in her seat to talk to a fat man in the row behind her. Herchman is 18 years old and wears a green No. 11 football jersey that belongs to her boyfriend, Riley Dodge, quarterback of the Southlake Carroll Dragons, the best high school football team in the state of Texas maybe the best high school football team in the country.
