High school football fervor splits a town philosophically when
emphasis on education collides with emphasis on victory at all
costs. Friendships, sportsmanship and pride of accomplishment are
put to the test when it is discovered that West High is holding its
student-athletes back a year in school. The scheme, known as
redshirting, is utilized to help the football team gain a physical
advantage over the competition.
The news is met with outrage by fans of East High, which never
employed the same tactic. Many think it is hypocritical of parents
and coaches to hold a good student back purportedly for academic
reasons, when in reality they are held back for athletic
reasons.
Emotions run high and spill over into the community. Will the
antagonism continue to divide the town of Mountainside or will
differences be settled on the gridiron?
