When the Game Stands Tall

Edit

Factual errors

The film shows Bellevue High's quarterback completing several passes in the win over De La Salle. In the real game Bellevue did not attempt a single pass the entire game.
De La Salle's loss to Bellevue High took place in a night game at the NFL's Seahawks home stadium, then-named Qwest Field, not a high school stadium as depicted in the film.
De La Salle played, and defeated, Long Beach Poly in October 2001 not in 2004.
The doctor comes in and tells the Coach that he had an 83% blockage of his PLA, calling it the "widowmaker" and required 5 stents. The "widowmaker" is actually a blockage of the left main artery or the upper LAD artery. The PLA is so small also that it would not accommodate 5 stents.
The game broadcaster says the game vs Poly is the first nationally televised high school football game. That happened in 1989, Euclid vs St. Ignatius, according to Mark Podolski, The News-Herald.

Character error

(at around 1h 35 mins) The Stanford letterhead shows a misspelled date for January. The date shown is "11 Januaray 2004".
