Facing The Giants
Through a series of dramatic events, the film takes after Grant Taylor, the head coach at Shiloh Christian Academy. He has been in this activity since six years and he hasn't made a fruitful thing amid this period. In his seventh season, he is defeated three consecutive times, the thing that influence the dads to need to supplant him. In any case, Taylor attempts to do his best to get out from this difficult circumstance.
