In 1971 in Virginia, high school football was everything to the people of Alexandria. But when the local school board was forced to integrate an all black school with an all white school, a young black coach was hired as head coach of the Titans over a white man with several years seniority and a tradition of winning. As the pair learned to work together, they found they had much more than football in common. Although from vastly different backgrounds, these two coaches not only molded a group of angry, unfocused boys into a dynamic, winning team, but helped guide them into becoming responsible young men.
