<P> He creates a new coaching philosophy and decides to praise God , no matter what the result . At the same time he guides and urges each one of his players to give the maximum effort , and motivates them to believe they can win under God 's guidance . This influence spreads to the rest of the school . From that point on , the Eagles win all their remaining regular season games after losing the first three and make the state playoffs . As a result , Grant is given a raise in salary rather than being fired and is also provided with a brand - new truck from grateful boosters . The Eagles lose their playoff opener , but are declared the winner after the opponent used ineligible players . The Eagles then advance all the way to the state championship game against the three - time defending champion Richland Giants . Even though the Eagles have only a third as many players as the Giants , the Eagles hold their own and ultimately win the game on a 51 - yard field goal from a backup kicker who had never kicked more than a 35 - yarder before . Grant 's prayers for children are also answered as he and Brooke have children after two years . </P>
