San Diego, CA (PRWEB)February 3, 2005 -- goingdigitalfilms, LLC officially
releases its feature length documentary, “1: The Story Behind the Longest
Winning Streak in Football History,” on the De La Salle Spartans football team
of Concord, California. Available exclusively at Amazon.com, the 90 minute
documentary, which premiered at the 2004 Cinequest (San Jose, CA) and Cleveland
International Film Festivals to rave reviews, is a rare behind-the-scenes
chronicle of the most successful high school football team ever and follows the
De La Salle Spartans through a season on a quest not to win another championship
or break another national record, but on a journey to become a cohesive team
bound by love.
“To all those who inquire about the secret of our
success, I respond now with: Spend a Year with Us.” --Head Coach Bob Ladouceur
The Spartans are perhaps the greatest dynasty in sports history, having
amassed a 151-game winning streak that spanned more than a decade. Beginning in
1979, with no teaching or head-coaching experience Bob Ladouceur became head
coach of the Spartans and his teams have amassed the highest winning percentage
in all of football history. De La Salle was named the USA Today National High
School Football Champion in 1998, 2000, 2001, 2002 and 2003. Current DLS
National Football League players include Amani Toomer (NY Giants) and D.J.
Williams (Denver Broncos).
Coach Ladouceur has been awarded the USA Today
National High School Football Coach of the Year Award three times, has been
inducted into the National High School Football Hall of Fame and was nominated
for the Coach of the Year ESPN Espy award in 2004 alongside Larry Brown of the
Detroit Pistons and Bill Belichick of the New England Patriots. With a formal
post secondary education in religious studies, Coach “Lad” teaches religion
classes at De La Salle and considers himself a teacher and educator first and
foremost. “Now this may sound odd to you; but the reason we win and what beats
at the heart of our neighborhood is love. Yes, we win because our players love
each other.”
This film is thought to be the anti-thesis of such
win-at-all-costs stories such as “Friday Night Lights” and “Go Tigers!” The film
is recommended for anyone interested in the factors behind phenomenal team
success, high school, football, greatest sports stories or teen development.
“This is a story of what sports are, and should really be about.”

You'd think it was a high school football factory, you'll
find it's something much more...
It's not about X's and O's. It's about
having faith in something larger than yourself.
