<P> The climax of the movie is the fictionalized 1971 AAA state championship football game between T.C. Williams and George C. Marshall High School . The dramatic license taken in the movie was to convert what was actually a mid-season matchup between T.C. Williams and Marshall into a made - for - Hollywood state championship . In reality , the Marshall game was the toughest game T.C. Williams played all year and the actual state championship ( against Andrew Lewis High School of Salem ) was a 27 -- 0 blowout . As depicted in the movie , the real Titans won the Marshall game on a fourth down come - from - behind play at the very end of the game . </P>
