The team was inducted into the Latin American International Sports Hall of Fame in Laredo, Texas, for their commitment to the sport and breaking barriers. They also joined the National Hispanic Heritage Hall of Honor. For their perseverance and love of the sport, the five members of the Mustangs had their story memorialized on both page and screen. The Long Game highlights the trials and tribulations of the team during high school, who all went on to lead engaging lives in public service after their time at San Felipe High School.
In March of 1921, the Twelfth Cavalry Regiment voted to form a country club which became the San Felipe Country Club. The San Felipe Country Club included a nine-hole golf course that is located on the San Felipe Springs. This was the first course built by John Bredemus who went on to design many notable courses such as the Colonial in Fort Worth, TX. In 2016, the City of Del Rio took over the golf course and renamed it to the San Felipe Springs Golf Course.
The building and grounds for the former San Felipe High School were converted to the San Felipe Memorial Middle School. A placard marking the original purpose of the building as the San Felipe High School is near the entrance of the school.
The San Felipe High School depicted in this movie was closed in 1971, as the San Felipe Independent School District merged with the Del Rio Independent School District to form the San Felipe Del Rio Consolidated Independent School District, with Del Rio High School becoming the main high school for this district and a separate Early College High School for college preparatory education.
