OSG High: "When The Game Stands Tall" Trailer Released...

((HT: Sony Pictures Entertainment))

For twelve years, De la Salle High School didn't lose a football game...

151 in a row... and then, they lost...

The bigger story there is what happens when you lose and all the questions that go along with it- mental, physical, emotional, class, geography, place, and everything else associated with it.

Jim Caviezel, Michael Chiklis, and Laura Dern get the adult roles in the new movie coming out this football season (August 22nd) about the Spartans and their place in high school football lore...


Based on the Neil Hayes book, which the HQ has and has read and has in its collection, it centers around the time in 2004 when the streak came to an end, how the murder of Terrence Kelly, and the heart attack of Coach Ladouceur effected all associated with the Spartans program.

The message is about doing things the right way...
As it should be...

OSG High: High School Plays Football With Only 15 ...

((HT: KABC-TV))

Imagine going through a football season having almost an entire roster of guys playing all game long- going both ways...

One school in the CIF ((California high school football ranks)) has 15 on their roster and plays, probably, 13 of them regularly...

The HQ has seen rosters of 32 to 35, but not 13 to 15...

FOSG John Hartung talks to a lot of the team... and it's only part of the story...

As they make the playoffs again...
