First of all....I really liked it., 13 February 2000
Author: gagliano (gagliano@msoe.edu) from Milwaukee Wisconsin

First of all....I really liked it. Well it's about time we had a football version of "Hoosiers". Okay, it may not be exactly like Hoosiers, but it is a great film about high school football. If you have ever read the book, "Friday Night Lights" about football in Odessa, TX, this is the closest you will see to a movie version of that book. We hear so many stories of how some parents relive their lives through their sons/daughters sports accomplishments, some good stories and a few sad ones....this movie plays upon the sad ones. While it is a "feel good" movie of youth rising up and taking control of their own lives, it is also a film that can be used to keep some parents and coaches in check. Bottom line....simply, you will enjoy this film.
