The team he was handed did not have the caliber of players he needed to win--until he saw Tony Nathan run. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut Tony was African American and Coach Gerelds knew that putting him in as running back would be like drawing a target on his own back and the back of his soon-to-be star player.

It was about doing what was right for the school--and the city. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAnd soon, the only place in the city where blacks and whites got along was on Coach Gerelds's football team.
