This is the remarkable true story of Coach Bob Ladouceur (Jim Caveziel) and the De La Salle High School Spartans who held an unprecedented 151-game winning streak. This movie follows the highs and lows of the team and what it takes to maintain a winning streak, lose and then pick yourself back up and win again.

This is a great movie. It is inspirational and uplifting. And, it is a true story. These kids played their hearts out for this coach and he seems like a wonderful human being. He emphasizes teamwork, commitment and integrity. He wants these players to grow into strong men. There is some great football in this movie, too! I enjoyed every minute. It is perfect for the whole family and even if you aren't a sports nut, it is still entertaining and enjoyable. Go see it!!
