This film is an honest, gritty look at four young men who love the game of football. Each is driven by different goals during their careers, yet they came together as a team that displays an inordinate degree of dedication and heart.
It was incredible to see these four individuals develop and mature during their high school careers. The changes were quite dramatic!! The thoughts the boys share on film are extremely personal, yet totally relatable to anyone who has had the good fortune of being part of a sports team working and yearning for their next victory.
Denise Bennett should be applauded for her diligent work following these students and the Gonzaga Prep Football team for four years! The story is told with high degrees of skill, warmth, and charm. She allows each student an independent voice, but still manages to capture the spirit of a team united by friendship with a solitary goal.
GO PUPS! Bravo Miss Bennett This is an AMAZING film.
