<P> The film was released to DVD in early 2007 and made its television debut on September 21, 2008, on Trinity Broadcasting Network . </P> <P> In 2003, Grant Taylor (Alex Kendrick) is the head coach at Shiloh Christian Academy, and has yet to post a winning record in his six - year tenure . After his seventh season begins with a three - game losing streak, the players' fathers start making noises about replacing him with defensive coordinator Brady Owens . This is not the only problem Grant is facing; his car is breaking down, and he discovers that he is the reason that his wife Brooke cannot become pregnant . </P> <P> He creates a new coaching philosophy and decides to praise God, no matter what the result . At the same time he guides and urges each one of his players to give the maximum effort, and motivates them to believe they can win under God's guidance . This influence spreads to the rest of the school . From that point on, the Eagles win all their remaining regular season games after losing the first three and make the state playoffs . As a result, Grant is given a raise in salary rather than being fired and is also provided with a brand - new truck from grateful boosters . The Eagles lose their playoff opener, but are declared the winner after the opponent used ineligible players . The Eagles then advance all the way to the state championship game against the three - time defending champion Richland Giants . Even though the Eagles have only a third as many players as the Giants, the Eagles hold their own and ultimately win the game on a 51 - yard field goal from a backup kicker who had never kicked more than a 35 - yarder before . Grant's prayers for children are also answered as he and Brooke have children after two years . </P> <Ul> <Li> Alex Kendrick as Grant Taylor </Li> <Li> Shannen Fields as Brooke Taylor </Li> <Li> Bill Butler as Neil Prater </Li> <Li> Bailey Cave as David Childers </Li> <Li> Steve Williams as Larry Childers </Li> <Li> Tracy Goode as Brady Owens </Li> <Li> Jim McBride as Bobby Lee Duke </Li> <Li> Tommy McBride as Jonathan Weston </Li> <Li> Jason McLeod as Brock Kelley </Li> <Li> Chris Willis as J.T.
