It is a fact that the De Lasalle high school football team of Concord, California went undefeated for seasons after season. They set a modern day sports record of 151 victories in a row. It was generally acknowledged that they didn't always have the best raw talent, but through proper coaching and fostering love and teamwork among all the players, they were able to rise to the task, week after week, year after year.
This movie is mostly the story of the coach, Jim Caviezel as Bob Ladouceur. Of his approach to prepare the teenagers for life, to become good and dependable adults. He was asked about "the streak" and his answer was "It was never about the streak."
This is a well-made movie with a good message. Yes, it is a bit sappy at times, and the overbearing dad who insisted that his son break the touchdown record was a bit over-emphasized. But on balance it is a good role for Caviezel and you can't argue with the message.
