A great, feel good, home-grown, football film that gives you hope!

I stumbled upon this film last night while looking for a good sports doc and I'm glad I did. You don't have to be a football fan to appreciate a film like this. One that delves into the family and camaraderie of what makes a team special. Also, something interesting about this, is there is no narrator. The film jumps back and forth from past to present (yet still chronological) told by people involved to give you a full unbiased story of where both schools were and where they are now!

The end game is superbly shot. Music is fantastic and seeing some cool LeBron James high football action was just icing on the cake. Highly, highly recommend!

A feel-good, rah rah film!

I'm a sucker for sports docs and this one played out like a lesser known 30 for 30! Obviously the city of Akron is synonymous with LeBron James, so it's pretty cool to see some high school football action of him! Great pacing, great football action and takes you back to your glory days. However, watched with my wife and she's not even a football fan and loved it!
