      Grant Taylor, a Christian high-school football coach (Alex Kendrick), gets some very bad news. Besides his and his wife's (Shannen Fields) infertility problems, he faces the attempt of local parents to force the school to replace him.

Following a visitor's message, Grant tries to inspire his team to use faith to conquer fear and opposing teams.

        Practically a Christian-based remake of Remember the Titans, yet still drives home a powerful message

        Predicatable plotting along with religion being shoved in our face repeatedly make this 'drama' near impossible for non-christians to enjoy.
