    Graduated from TC in 93.. Coach Boon at that time was a PE Teacher (was mine in 1990 when I arrived at TC as a 10th grader as TC did not have a 9th grade). He was relatively quiet man. I thought it was the coolest when they made this film and the significance it played in history (although the film did fictionalize a few things).

    Crazy to look back at this in 2024 and see that all these passed away:
    Cheryl Yoast (1996), Bill Yoast (2019), Herman Boone (2019), Carol Boone (2019), Gerry (1981, portrayed in the movie of course), Blue (2017), Julius (2019), Petey (2019), Lastik (2017)
    amongst others I’m sure that weren’t really featured in the film by name. 2019 was a tough year all around for members of the TC Williams football team and that community. Without a doubt still my favorite football movie of all time

    My roommate was a TC Williams Freshman in the year of the Titans. He said the thick racial tension in the High School was like that of a drought stricken forrest. It only took a tiny spark to start a blaze. He went on to say that he was a skinny A student with long hair. His goal was to learn without being "beat up" by the end of of final bell.

    The sad thing about movies like this is that when they state it is based on a true story the fans tend to take it as that; truth. The dramatic false are used to increase drama then its movie makers who end up changing history and instill this in their movie goers. With no accountability and no acknowledgment of it by said studios.
    Read more and don’t accept Hollywood is telling an actual truth.

      In all fairness BASED ON a true story doesn't say 'True to life documentary'....
      Hollywood, doesn't STOP ppl from actually reading and comprehending or understanding that the words "based on" doesn't equal 'historical factual reenactment'....
      The Flintstones were the Honeymooners but morons didn't go around thinking Fred Flintstone actually was Ralph Kramden😋
      My point is you complained about morons being 'duped' by Hollywood....
      Hollywood is creating ENTERTAINMENT not PBS specials....
      No different than Law & Order creating a fictionalized VERSION of a real life crime....a logical human being that has you mentioned knows how to read and comprehend UNDERSTANDS that they are watching a piece ENTERTAINMENT that waa created, edited and mocked up to BE entertaining....not just a C-SPAN camera running or the nature channel live feeding a 🐦 nest waiting for eggs to hatch...
      Ppl don't PAY premium 💰 and stand in line to buy outrageously overpriced popcorn for "that"...
      They go for scripted fantasy....btw just so you're not devastated wrestling is FAKE to....just thought you should know
      And oh yeah Sesame Street ain't real....and Mr. Rogers had no neighborhood.....007 "not real"
      Santa Claus 🎅 did NOT eat those cookies 🍪 when you are 6 and he never came down the chimney and gave you ANY presents.....

      As I agree based on a true story should be more close to the real story. Hollywood isn't in it for non entertainment tho. I have watch several movie's that really did disappoint me however because the truth was stretched tooo far. Makes you wonder tho if they just "stretch" the truth on history.... And just what the gray parts are that makes the watchers think one way but is really something else.

    I saw the movie McFarland and was like 🤦🏻‍♂️ in how the producers exaggerated the facts. I ran in that 1987 inaugural state cross country championship meet and McFarland was good, but their best runner didn’t come in first. I believe he came in 3rd or fourth. But the rest of team came in shortly after him to win the state title and start their dynasty. My team came in fourth. Good times.

    Movie is a fraud. I grew up there and then, and we played against them. Yes there was residual racism problems in ‘71, yea we got rocks thrown at us when we went to play there; the movie still made up a lot of that. But the on-the-Field stuff was total nonsense and fantasy. They combined all 3 Alexandria schools and had an enrollment of about 6000, vs the Arlington and Fairfax schools they played against having 1500-3000 students. My school had 1800, and nothing was better than upsetting them my senior year (1975).
