        Possibly one of the best athlete's that has ever come out of this area. Who's playing Gary Edwards?

          Yep. The Dunham and Miller Show on KTCK 1310 AM & 96.7 The Ticket had former Dallas Cowboy Greg Ellis on a few months back to discuss the film. He is the Executive Producer. He mentioned Dean and others.

            Jessie Armstead was a beast and leader of the defense along with Maston & Abraham who all turned pro.

                This is how bizarre & crazy it was and why the movie, & how this all came about DISD's best football team. A grade change & no pass-no play. Carter's state title journey
                1988
                NOV. 9: The UIL receives a tip that Gary Edwards' first-six-weeks algebra grade was changed from failing to passing.
                NOV. 10: The District 11-5A executive committee rules Carter must forfeit three games and its playoff spot.
                NOV. 11: The Dallas ISD reinstates Carter, which defeats Plano East in the playoffs that night.
                NOV. 18: Texas Education Agency commissioner William Kirby decides Carter violated no-pass, no-play. The UIL reinstates Plano East into the playoffs. State District Judge Paul Davis issues a temporary injunction restraining Kirby from determining eligibility and directs the UIL to restore Carter to the playoffs.
                NOV. 19: In a second-round playoff game delayed a day because of the legal wrangling, Carter defeats Samuell, 28-0.
                NOV. 26: Carter defeats Lufkin in a regional semifinal, 31-7.
                DEC. 1: After several hours of testimony, Davis says DISD's lawsuit seeking to make his restraining order permanent will drag into the following week. The delay clears Carter to play Marshall in two days.
                DEC. 3: Carter scores with three seconds left to defeat Marshall, 22-18.
                DEC. 6: Davis rules that Kirby does not have authority to determine player eligibility, clearing Carter to play Odessa Permian in the state semifinals. Kirby and other state officials vow to appeal.
                DEC. 8: The TEA and UIL lodge appeals of Davis' injunction to the 3rd Court of Appeals. The filing automatically earns the TEA a stay of Davis' injunction, restoring Kirby's ruling. The UIL, however, remains under the injunction and powerless to stop Carter from playing.
                DEC. 10: Carter defeats Permian, 14-9.
                DEC. 17: Carter beats Judson, 31-14, for the Class 5A state championship.
                1989
                JULY 18: In a final order, Davis reaffirms his ruling that Kirby abused his power in citing Carter for violating no-pass, no-play. Although this preserves Carter's state title, Kirby vows to appeal.
                1990
                JUNE: The Legislature passes, and Gov. Bill Clements signs, a school reform law that restricts future lawsuits against no-pass, no play. The new provision also makes the TEA commissioner's decision final in no-pass, no-play cases unless a school district can prove the decision is arbitrary and capricious.
                OCT. 3: The UIL says it will strip Carter of its 1988 football title after the 3rd Court of Appeals dismisses DISD's 1988 suit against Kirby and the TEA. The court's action has the effect of reinstating Kirby's original ruling that Carter violated no-pass, no-play.
                1991
                JAN. 10: Carter's football title is officially stripped with a unanimous vote by the UIL's executive committee. Carter is ordered to return the championship trophy and attempt to collect and return individual player medals.

                  Lol at the trailer saying one of the greatest teams ever. Not even close to that. I understand the need to hype of the production but that was funny.

                  Buzz Bissingers book did more for inspiring movies and interest in Texas HS football than anything ever has. This isn't really a story today without that book.

                    I think when they say "Greatest ever" they mean best players, not most inspirational or most dominant. Greatest ever cannot truly be measured. It's completely subjective.

                    One persons idea of greatest ever is not the same as the next guy's.

                      No they meant one of the greatest teams ever. Don't try to justify something that's not there. I get it, to hype for a movie. If they meant "players" they would have said a team with the greatest players ever but they didn't. The book has perpetuated a myth about this Carter team that has been taken overboard through the years. The movie FNL didn't help either.

                        Carter was not even the best TEAM Permian played that year. That year, just won't go away for Permian and all they did was play football. As brought out by OP on another thread. A national sports publication is in town now and bissinger to soon follow, in a revisit on the 25th birthday of the book. Most likely another book will follow. Next month 60 minutes will be in for a look see. And for what it's worth, we didn't invite either to town.

                          So Permian fans were not on board with FNL?

                              I was thinking the same thing train! It has been clear from the get go thay Permian fans have never been a fan of the book. It was a cheap shot at a country so the rest of the country could see how us Texans viewed things.



                              Now, some 25 years later, the literature Buzz used would apply to a lot of Texas towns and schools but not Permian in 1988

                                There were a few Permian fans and still are, who get warm and fuzzy over the attention, having no thought about what it could have done and did do to a state standard. Not because of the book and what it was saying but because it gave them, what today might be called a selfie to share with the country. A look at "me" moment.


                                I'll move on now and I do apologize for what some may view as a hi-jacking of this Carter Moment.

                                  no need to apologize. This Carter story is not even known without the book. The book is what brought the events to the forefront and without the book they are just a story. Buzz was able to put into detail those events and that's the only reason this is a movie or story to be told.
