Talk about a blast from the past. Kate Bosworth took to her Instagram on March 3 to share a classic #ThrowbackThursday snapshot of herself and a much younger Hayden Panettiere from the set of Remember the Titans. The caption dated the photo "9-12-99" and included a baby emoji. At the time, Kate was just 17 and Hayden was a fresh-faced, 11-year-old child star. For those who haven't seen the 2000 drama inspired by the true story of high school football coach Herman Boone (Denzel Washington), Kate played Emma Hoyt, the girlfriend of football player Gerry Bertier (Ryan Hurst). Hayden played Sheryl Yoast, the football-loving daughter of Assistant Coach Bill Yoast (Will...

Bill Yoast, one of the coaches who inspired the Disney film “Remember the Titans,” died Thursday in Springfield, Virginia, according to Alexandria City Public Schools. He was 94.
Yoast initially served as a head coach for the football team at the all-white Francis C. Hammond High School, leading them to a regional championship in 1969. But his claim to fame was as defensive coordinator and assistant coach at T.C. Williams High School, which was formed from the merger of three high schools in Alexandria, Virginia.
In 1971, the T.C. Williams’ racially integrated football team, the Titans, became one of the most dominant high school teams in state history, going on an undefeated 13-0 run with nine shutouts. The team, along with Yoast and black head coach Herman Boone, served as the loose inspiration for “Remember the Titans,” which starred Will Patton as Yoast and Denzel Washington as Boone.

Bill Yoast, the football coach whose personality was portrayed by Will Patton in the film Remember The Titans, has died. He was 94 and passed at an assisted living facility in Springfield, Virginia, according to a news release from the Alexandria City Public Schools.
Yoast coached at Francis C. Hammond High School, an all-white school, before integration in the city high schools of Alexandria in 1971. He became defensive coach and assistant to head coach Herman Boone, who is black.
The relationship between the two men, who were portrayed by Will Patton and Denzel Washington, was the focus of the 2000 film.
“I didn’t know Yoast. Yoast didn’t know me,” Boone told The Washington Post. “I knew that Hammond had no black athletes, and I didn’t know if Coach Yoast had anything to do with that. But we got to (training camp) and became roommates and found a way to talk to one another.
