“Miracle at Donna” the documentary is the true story of eighteen (18) young men who won the High School Football State Championship in 1961. No other football team from the Valley has yet to repeat this feat. Coach Earl Scott and Benny La Prade were the two dedicated men who believed in and treated all the players like equals. Ten (10) Hispanics and eight (8) Anglos young men came together and formed the greatest team the Valley has ever known. The majority of the players were poverty stricken, many did not have a father or mother in their family and some were migrant workers or worked in the fields. Additionally, one of the players drowned before the season started and three other players lost a parent during the season. However, despite these tragic deaths and the hardships, the players together as a team triumphed. This incredible journey inspired and united the small town of Donna along with the Rio Grande Valley.
On April 18th, 2011 we commenced filming recreation/reenactment footage together with extensive interviews with the original players for this very special documentary, with a feature film planned for the future.
