What Happened to Sunshine from Remember the Titans? 

They played together, won together, cried together, and even passed away together. Brothers for life!

Mr. Boone was my driver's ed teacher at T.C. Julius Campbell was one of my youth football coaches and Petey Jones worked at the local rec center I attended every day after school. They were all really good guys.

You had me at the "Bertier's mama" line. Loved this movie. And 42 sacks is insane, btw.

Wouldn't it be nice if we could all come together like that today...

Seeing this for the first time has solidified “The Titans” as one of my top sports movies ever. The real coaches and players really have me appreciating this movie even more. Something to find out that most of the main characters on that 71 team has passed on into eternity. Thanks for sharing their stories.

Hey this was awesome, sadly 2019 seems like a terrible year for all these cats but this video was awesome and their story is amazing. Keep up the good work 👍👍👍👍👍

What’s with all the lose of life for this team in 2019.

I love this movie. Denzel Washington was incredible in his role. Thanks a lot for this original video idea.

2019 was not kind to these men. An unbroken bond till the end.

Love the movie and the progress they brought in real life. 2019 was a sad year and may they RIP.

So many died in 2019 even though it's sad they passed I find it pretty awesome they kinda all went to heaven together

The movie, “Remember the Titans”, represents the type of message that our young people need to see as an example of overcoming racism. We can’t send messages that divide us. We are all ultimately brothers within the human race.

Damn, just about all of them died in 2019 . Excellent movie

Crazy how the majority of them passed in 2019

Julius Campbell said that Gary Bertier without question would have been the greatest defensive end to ever play the game if he didn’t get into a car accident because he was that good. He was on a whole different level than anyone else.

Coach Boone was a neighbor of mine down in Florida where he went for the winters. We used to have lunch together on occasion. He loved Cracker Barrel. He taught me a lot just sitting and chatting. Great man.

The best movie. I can watch it over and over again

Hollywood no longer makes films like this. It is too uniting. And God doesn't make many men like Denzel Washington anymore. He is greatly skilled as well as uniting.

Geez, 2019 was a rough year for that squad. I wasn’t counting but there had to be at least 5-6 members of the team that died that year. RIP.

It was amazing how the movie captured the essence of each character, and brought it to life on film, an all time great movie, and real life story.

Well seems like most of them went out in 2019. God rest their souls. Nice vid!

So the real sunshine threw right. And in the movie he was a lefty lol. Couldn't get that simple thing right?

Simply one of the best sports movies ever... Denzel, killed it with his role!

Sunshine taught me how to throw the football and we all played tackle football at the end of south Jordan st. I ended up going to catholic school in Alexandria.

I LOVE Remember The Titans!!! Thank you for this video. Just made the whole movie more real about these awesome kids!

Aint nothin like high school football on a Friday night... I miss ALL MY BROTHERS

One of my favorite movies. So sad so many died recently. (2017-2019)

2019 seemed to call many of the Titans

42 sacks!?!? That can't be right...right!?!? That's Waterboy numbers 😂

Definitely one of my favorites! Boone was a great coach! Gary probably would have made the NFL! 42 sacks? Wow n

Also, the actor who played the big kid has since lost about 260 lbs and is a serious fitness enthusiast.

I remember TC Williams back in the day. I was a freshman QB. Before the days of the internet, teams would mail out fliers touting their respective team's accomplishments. I can recall reading a few of their fliers as bussing and integration were hot topic buzzwords.

NINE shutouts? WOW!!! Also, I read that team didn't play one all-white team that entire season. But, Hollywood tends to take a lot of liberties with these true stories. The Milan, Indiana team that "Hoosiers" was based on actually held the ball for 4 minutes (no shot clock) before hitting game-winner for a 32-30 win.

How does Denzel not get an Oscar for his role????

Coach Boone was a cool guy. He came and talked to my class when I was in 10th grade. Fun fact: Boone's daughter became a teacher and was the reason her dad came to Detroit to talk to us.

That Movie can teach you so much about life if your willing to learn the lesson it offers ..

The army used to fly the whole team to the US ARMY HS All American game and had a Boone/Yost BBQ with all players and coaches. Spent time with them all in 2007. Their genuine love for one another was evident. Good souls. Our country could use some of this again. 👍

With the first round pick in the 2021 NFL draft, the Jacksonville Jaguars select Sunshine from remember the Titans.

I remember when Disney called me on a polling on if I would see this movie. Remember my football team going together to see the movies

Cool video! Thank you for sharing! Awesome movie (definitely among my favorites) and it sounds like they're all Great People!

THIS is the gold star example of what HS football should be: Building men to serve community. It should be a Master Class for every coach and player.

2019 was not good for the Titans

I loved this. My son and I love the movie and the lessons it highlights. Thank you for this.

Wow ... Two things strike me instantly. How much the actors chosen resembled the real life people, and how MANY passed away circa 2017-2019 ...

I remember doing some research after we watched this movie in class, and I fell in love with it, just like that. The ending is so nostalgic for me, when they cut off and go straight back into the Marvin Gaye song. I truly freaking loved it. And apparently, Gerry Bertier's mama is a woman named Jean Agnew. 0:50

My great friend growing up played Blue in this movie. We lost touch adter high school from life paths going other ways etc... I didnt kniw he made it to Hollywood until i went to the movies on night to see this movie. Wgen he 1st appeared i literally jumped up and yelled EARL!!!!! WTF@$#%#%@%!!!!!! I'm so proud of him.

Hands down my favorite football movie that's about waaaay more than just football. Always we Always remember the Titans

So what you're telling us is sunshine is somebody grandpa that could actually have played in the pros if he hadn't hurt his knee?

Without a doubt my favorite sports movie of all times remember the Titans I was coaching Pop Warner football at the time the movie came out I had a friend that work for the local cinema and was able to bring all the teams and cheerleaders to see the movie really a Memorable thing about all the years I’ve been coaching Pop Warner football

Berteirs MAMA 🤣🤣🤣

GR8 Report! Hollywood got the casting right for this movie! Surprised the real Ronny Bass is right-handed. I still watch Titans movie today.

So we aren’t going to talk about how they all died in 2019? Ok, cool.

Great video. Thank you. One of my favorite based on true movies.

“The Legendary Ed Henry” (opposing coach) was my gym teacher in high school and the father of a classmate I graduated with. He was obviously also the football coach and my brother played for him.

It’s crazy we lost so many of them in 2019... Hopefully all these men are resting in peace! They will always be remembered for more than just football players! They helped end racism at school, and showed others than color doesn’t mean squat. Too bad the world can’t figure that out today. Our skin means nothing, and anything can be accomplished when people are willing to work together like these men did at a young age.

One of the great movies I have seen. Great story and characters.

Interestingly and relevantly: The school was renamed Alexandria City High School on July 1, 2021 following protests over the fact that the school’s namesake, the former superintendent of Alexandria City Public Schools T.C. Williams, was an ardent supporter of racial segregation.

Met the actor a few years ago while working at toyota. He told me he was back in school and took a break from acting

Sunshine was a Gamecock? I guess that's why Trevor Lawrence didn't like that nickname.

GREAT STUFF! TC WAS REALLY A SUPER TEAM. UNLIKE THE MOVIE 🍿, NO CLOSE GAMES. SPORTS 🏈 SHOULD BE A GREAT UNIFIER LIKE IT WAS HERE. LONG LIVE THE TITANS!🏈

The movie was great and the story was a great way to show how things should be.

This is good stuff...🙋🏾‍♀️ These soul mates were meant to be together for ever. 💜💜💜

Also worth noting is that Bill Yoast’s daughter Sheryl passed away many years ago in 1996 at the age of 34. She died from heart failure I think from a heart condition that hadn’t been discovered for a long time.

I'm 45 years old and this is still my favorite movie 20 years later and after seeing it 100 times!

Taught at the school where the movie was filmed in Ga. Before leaving each night after bball practice, we would talk to the extras who were working. I asked about the movie. One of them told me the was about a young girl telling the story of a high school football team that had come to the funeral of a former teammate. After viewing the movie, i had more of a perspective of the talks we had with the extras.

Favorite movie of all time! How can you give this a thumbs down?

Former substitute teach and grandfather of a classmate of mine was a coach against TCW. He said playin them was one of the hardest toughest character building games hed been apart of. He later went on to be the most successful coach in state history until the early 2000s when he surpassed.

What the hell is up with 2019? Did they see COVID coming or something?

One of the best movies ever.

Hands down, best show ever! However, shawshaink redemption a very close 2nd.

This was great ,thanks for sharing this !

Such a great story, love all these guys. Thanks for being an inspiration, wish y'all would speak up with today's issues. Remind folks we worked hard, lost and fought for how open we are today.

Excellent film, thoroughly enjoyed first time I ever saw "Remember The Titans". The cast Denzel W, Will Patton, Ms Haden Panaterre, all the rest were fantastic no doubt! The message of the film clearly told,and stated. Prejudice, and racism are ugly and still the excuse of weak minded morons, or fools. I fully agree mankind needs too unite, bond, and get along together? But I still perceive, and believe that "Govt.", and the systems we allow too govern us still weld too much influence upon us for those ideas, and desires too every be fully attained. All the hype and rhetoric, we heard, saw, and went through in 2020 with the Pandemic, and the "BLM" issues showed just how, far apart mankind still seems to be. Oh well, I'm long on tooth here, so sorry! Please Forgive Me. I thought in the ending of the movie? Didn't "SunShine", go on into Broadcasting, after College? Anyway Thank You for an excellent video above. WR, 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇨🇦🇺🇸🤔🤔🤓🤓💬💭🙏🙏🌈🌈

Sunshine plays for Jacksonville now, he changed his name to Trevor.

Loved that movie and I love what you reported to us thank you!!

I saw Blue Stanton once! I was a security guard @ Fort Belvoir & came on post! I noticed the car was decorated with Titans stickers & had a Titans plate!

Loved the video! TC Williams has been renamed to Alexandria City High School for those interested.

what are they eating down there because most of them never made it past 70. Must be terrible food, terrible doctors and terrible medicine and bad driving.

I meet the coaches back in Highschool, actually still have the autographs. They were extremely nice and talked football with us for a while.

Race is a human construct, just like time. It doesn't exist. Humans are humans. Be good to each other.

2016-2019 were some devastating years for TC Williams High School!

He play for Jacksonville jags don’t it?

WoW 🤩 THIS was fantastic!! Thank you, Sir, for your excellent research, your dedication to FACTS and your time and energy - appreciated!!!!

0:43 nice touch 😂

"Attitude reflects leadership....... Captain" Ended an argument, started a strong friendship!

You gotta do what happened to gridiron gang

Best movie ever! I actually have used many techniques, drills, and principles in my own coaching of youth and high school football. A must-watch!

Damn 2019 was the end of the road for allot of these guys.

I really love that movie and I really appreciate that you did a follow up to these amazing players and coaches. It’s sad that they are no longer with us, but there memories still live on. Thanks again for this update.

42 sacks in one year

I loved this story. Pretty good film also.

Whereas T LAWRENCE...Otherwise known as Jar Jar Binks in our house... Ron Bass is a hero in our house for a gutsy, tough quarterback who had some great games...I remember a victory over Georgia Tech in ATL and a super human effort against a ranked Klempson team.

Wish Julius didn’t get hurt & actually got to play at Ohio State

Sunshine plays for Jackson jaguars

Proud to be a Titans coach, right now!😍

Am I the only one kinda struck by the fact so many of them died in 2019🧐

One of the best movies ever. 🇨🇦

Gary passed away at 28 not 29. 1953-1981.

Love this movie and love what it inspires.

Did everybody die in 2019? Damn
