Trivia
Was filmed April-June 2008 in New Orleans, Louisiana, and was set to be theatrically released in early 2009, but due to the financial troubles of the Weinstein Company, it saw a straight-to-DVD release on February 9, 2010.

Goofs
During the first few plays of the State Championship, one of the Patriots passes is stolen and taken down the court. The player with the ball then lobs the ball to a player wearing a #22 jersey, who then dunks it. When the camera zooms in on the player the jersey number has changed to #21.

Quotes
Al Collins: Most of y'all have played for me before, so you know I don't claim to be some basketball guru. My playbook is downright simple; only five set offensive plays. Five. Now believe it or not, we can go all the way with just those five plays. We're gonna practice those plays 1000 times. We're gonna practice 'em, till they are part of your... your DNA. All you boys need are three things: One, execution. Two, cohesiveness, which is just another fancy word for teamwork. You must learn to act as one unit on both ends of the court. One finger can't pick up a pebble. But one hand... can move the Earth. Three, effort. You must bring it to every practice. You must bring it to every moment, to every second of every game. You leave that out there on that hard wood, and win or lose, you will never have to look in the mirror and wonder "Did I do enough?" We could have ourselves a great year fellas. A great year. But it all starts right here and right now.

Good, very good...

Just the theme, overcoming after a catastrophe at the level of Hurricane Katrina is already moving, associated with the passion, love and dedication of a teacher/coach, it makes you want to cry, the dramas faced by the athletes/students, all very exciting and cute, of course, as it could not be otherwise, I love these films, it makes us believe that humanity has a future through kindness and fraternity...
