Now Showing

Forgetting The Titans

Projected to place last in the league, the Titans of Ta Town High School have had a surprisingly strong football season thanks to their talented quarterback, Brett Starr. But now, their opponent in the State Championship game is none other than the juggernaut of high school football, the Fancy Place High Bulldog Dragons – which feature a menacing group of players and the morally/ethically questionable tactics of their head coach, Huddle Sackman. Can the Titans remember what it takes to bring home victory? Only one way to find out: Get your butts to, and your popcorn ready for, “Forgetting The Titans.”
