Russell Athletic and Barkley have come together to create a six-part series, one of which highlights how a team made up of Native American teenagers bring unity and pride to the Lummi Nation in Northwest Washington state.

Under the leadership of their coach, who is former NFL wide receiver Jim Sandusky, football transcends “beyond its 8-person team. It represents the hope of the entire 5,000-member tribe.”

"Russell Athletic is telling the untold stories of team beyond the Friday night lights," said Berk Wasserman, Barkley creative director, in a statement. "High school football is bigger than a win or loss, even if it’s in state championship. For Lummi Nation, football has become an unexpected tradition to bring their people together.”

The series from Russell Athletic’s #SettleYourScore campaign follows six different high school football teams through their trials and tribulations during the season after losing their state championships by a touchdown or less. The series, according to Russell, looks at how the communities are coming together around the teams and rallying around the game of football.
