<P> Because T.C. is the only public high school in Alexandria City, and the only non-Fairfax County high school in the Patriot District, the Titans do not have a sole rival school . The Titans do have a rivalry against Lake Braddock Secondary School because of recent competition . The Titans have developed rivalries against Hayfield Secondary School in recent years due to the success of both schools' basketball teams, as well as West Potomac High School, which is located close to Alexandria . Recently, TC's rivalry with Hayfield was partially severed as Hayfield moved into another district due to a decline in enrollment . The two schools, which competed against each other in the 2009 Boys' Basketball Northern Region Championship Game, both missed the regional playoffs in 2010 due to eligibility issues of players . T.C. had to forfeit 12 wins and lost two players including a key starter for the rest of the season . They lost in the first round of the district tournament . </P> <P> T.C. and its former football coaches, Herman Boone and Bill Yoast, were in the 2000 motion picture Remember the Titans, starring Denzel Washington and Will Patton . The movie was a dramatization of the consolidation of Alexandria's three public high schools into one in the fall of 1971 . That year, ACPS consolidated its three four - year high schools into a single two - year school, teaching solely juniors and seniors . As a result, the best of the varsity football squads at George Washington High School (converted to a middle school), Hammond High School (converted to a middle school) and T.C. Williams High School united in what amounted to an all - city, all - star team at T.C. Williams . The city's public schools were legally desegregated in 1959, but the three high schools had become racially imbalanced during the 1960s, due to housing patterns . Racial tension is one of the themes of the film . Yoast was the head coach at Hammond, who won the state title in 1970, while Boone was a head coach at E.J. Hayes High School in Williamston, North Carolina, with five state championships and a 99--8 (. 925) record in nine seasons, from 1961 through 1969 . He was not retained after a consolidation and integration of two high schools . Boone was hired as an assistant at T.C. Williams, and expected to be to Yoast's assistant after the Alexandria consolidation in 1971 . </P> <P> The climax of the movie is the fictionalized 1971 AAA state championship football game between T.C. Williams and George C. Marshall High School . The dramatic license taken in the movie was to convert what was actually a mid-season matchup between T.C. Williams and Marshall into a made - for - Hollywood state championship . In reality, the Marshall game was the toughest game T.C. Williams played all year and the actual state championship (against Andrew Lewis High School of Salem) was a 27--0 blowout . As depicted in the movie, the real Titans won the Marshall game on a fourth down come - from - behind play at the very end of the game . </P> <P> T.C. Williams was referenced in the "My No Good Reason" episode of the television show Scrubs . Three actors wearing T.C. Williams letter jackets appear towards the end of the episode . Donald Faison, who plays Dr. Turk on the sitcom, also starred in Remember the Titans as Petey Jones . </P>
