This movie is a true sports story. It’s listed as a documentary. This movie follows the guidelines, it’s a film that runs longer than 40 minutes and tells a story depicting true events. In the movie, coach Bill Courtney pushes his players everyday in practice so they do better and it pays off. He makes the players watch film on the next team they face in hope to help his team win. One of the team’s best wide receivers starts a fight in the locker room before a game. The coach kicks him out of the locker room, and tells the kid to go home. Since the kid was suspended he got yelled at by the coach, and his suspension went from only one game to almost a whole season.
One major event is the coaches decision to go to the junior high and recruit kids to go to Manassas High instead of other schools in the West Memphis area. Also the star left tackle has a partial tear to his ACL, and the doctor holds him out until the playoffs. Although he went through rehab fine the doctor didn’t want him to play the last regular season game.
During the movie time passes week by week. The story starts September of 2009 and the season ends around December. By the time the movie ends its a start of a new season. A commonly occurring scene is the team on the practice field and on the football field. There is a scene that shows the run­down part of West Memphis where a factory used to be.
I would recommend this movie if you are a person who doesn’t mind that it is not always in order. The movie also has some scenes extended to a small degree. There are a lot of scenes that show up frequently also. this movie isn’t all sports, so it would appeal to most. This is a PG­13 movie because of some of the things the players say.
The movie contains sports, drama, and action. It really depicts the struggles the team goes through, but also shows the highlights of the teams season.

The main point guard on one of the teams sprints down the court while dribbling the ball. She makes it all the way down to the end of the court, goes up for a lay-up and comes down hard on her knee. As she lands on her knee she hears a loud pop and then falls to the ground. Whether the player realizes it or not she has just tore the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). This tear has become a more common injury throughout the years and throughout many sports as well.…

    It may only take a couple of seconds for a college football player’s career or season to be taken away from him. Hundreds of college football players get hurt every year; most are sidelined for just a couple of weeks. Some players, however, lose their entire season and even careers to just one injury. When a player is not able to play the entire season, they may lose their scholarship. Standing on a football field’s sideline with an injury is one of the worst feelings a player can have. Normally, teams only have one or two players who can start at a position. Knowing which positions get hurt the most would be useful, because a coach or manager then knows which positions he needs to draft or recruit to his team, so there are more than one or two players capable of playing the position. If for example, offensive running backs are the most prone to being injured, a coach can recruit and train…

    When in high school, one of the most memorable things to do is go to the games, attend homecoming, or the pep rallies every semester. One thing they all have in common is that they are tied to sports. High school sports are an important part of children's lives whether they are the ones attending the game or the one playing in it. A few years ago, Solano County tried to cut sports programs because there was no room in the budget for it. The community reacted by spending their whole summer raising money in any way they could by selling things to standing outside of the mall collecting donations with the fire department. High school sports programs are important and should not be on the list of school cuts.…
