There is a more compelling and powerful story of determination and character than the thin "Forever Strong"
It is the amazing story of the grit and determination of the teams that lose to Highland year after year that should be shouted out across the hilltops. These are the true warriors who walk on the battlefield knowing that every odd is stacked against them........( Last year they beat us by 40, 50, 60, 70 points) ...............and yet they stay and give their all.
Highlands merciless pursuit of triple digit scores is simply a self serving dead end. Beyond their shameless self congratulating circle their is no respect.
And though the scoreboard may read 80 - 0 for Highland, its meaning fades when the scoreboard lights are shut off. It's easy being on a team that wins by 50 plus points every game.
The scoreboard that measures determination, toughness, grit and issues of the heart will eternally be burned in favor of the team with zero points, every single time.
How and why do some Utah teams come back year after year. They come back better, stronger and more competitive, whilst Highland has to increase its stable of kiwi imports every year. Two, four, six this year and maybe eight boys from New Zealand next year.
Sadly there are also Utah teams who struggle to get 15 boys to practice each week.

Be careful how you criticize the movie seeing as the writer, David Plier, son played for your brother's team united. It not only makes you look bad when you blog bash but your brother.
