This movie was released about January 1986, just a few months after I saw an article reporting that a woman had been hired as the first female high school football coach (that would be for the Fall 1985 football season); it also said that all the other coaches in the same league protested (not that their protests did them any good). But I can't remember her name, nor where she coached, and all the Internet searches I've done on women in sports haven't turned up her name. Also, we are looking for the first woman to coach high school football after World War II, when some women coached high school football due to virtually all men of coaching age being in the military.
