replaced "unquestionably in the south" with "arguably in the south" since that part of Virginia is Southern by some definitions but not others, and relegated explanations of said definitions to a note

** The movie was filmed in various towns in Georgia because the real Alexandria, even in the parts that have not changed much since the 19th century, does not look enough like the Alexandria that the movie makers wanted. [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking Also]], while it may be unquestionably in the South (considering that the Mason-Dixon Line is the border between Maryland and Pennsylvania), nobody local to that part of Virginia has the accent that many are portrayed as having.

* ArtisticLicenseHistory: In reality, Alexandria's schools had been desegregated in ''1959''. All of the opposing teams T.C. Williams played were also integrated. What actually happened in 1971 was a merger of the city's three high schools to create one monster school with just juniors and seniors (freshmen and sophomores went to either Hammond or George Washington HS), making its football team an All-City All-Star team and games against T. C. Williams a ForegonConclusion (this also applied to other sports such as baseball, basketball, track and field). Moreover, predecessor Hammond HS (under Coach Yoast) had just won the 1970 state championship. Similarly, Gerry Bertier's paralyzing injury occurred when the season was already over, rather than right before the championship game. And the championship game wasn't the classic nailbiter depicted, but a 27-'''0''' blowout. Not to mention that the film's championship matchup against George C. Marshall HS was in reality a midseason game (though the real game was the toughest they played all year and did have the nailbiting finish), while the championship game was against Andrew Lewis HS. Also, Coach Yoast's daughter Sheryl was depicted as an only child, instead of the third of four daughters.
