The Red Terrors: The Story of a High School's Drive to Football Glory in 1964 Georgia

The year is 1964. Americans watch as civil rights battles rage and its military becomes heavily involved in a escalating conflict in the Southeast Asia country of Vietnam. In a coastal Georgia community, residents watch as these dramas unfold on their black-and-white television sets and in newspaper headlines, but they are also swept up in the exploits of their local high school's football team, the Glynn Academy Red Terrors, as it attempts to do something no other Red Terrors' team has done before -- win a state football championship. Based on a true story, "The Red Terrors" is "Friday Night Lights" on steroids: a well-researched story that puts us on the fifty-yard line and allows the players, coaches and others that were a part of that magical year to be seen for whom they were in 1964.
