Roll the tape coach.

Halifax Academy football team opens their 2014 season 
Thursday at Rocky Mount Academy.

Most teams spend time watching game film before a game 
to learn who they are playing,Not Halifax Academy 
Wednesday night.  Head Coach Long and sixteen of his 
Varsity Viking players traveled to Rocky Mount to watch 
a different film.

They visited the movie theater to see "When the Game 
Stands Tall". It's not about sports, It's not about winning, 
It's about growing up, forgiveness, commitment, brotherhood, 
it's about standing tall. 

The movie is based on Bob Ladouceur, the former head football 
coach at De La Salle High School in Concord, CA, which achieved 
fame with its national-record 151-game winning streak from 
1992 to 2004.  The movie hits a lot of the right notes concerning 
motivation, discipline and moral fortitude.
