Based upon: The true story of how coach Herman Boone (Washington) led one of the first integrated football teams, in Alexandria, Virginia in 1971.
Premise: This is the story of the football team that results when three high schools (two black and one white) are integrated in 1971. The former white coach (Patton) steps down, and a black coach (Washington) takes over, much to the chagrin of those local people with lingering racist tendencies. Against great odds, the resultant new team went on to great success.
