This was an important scene because Gerry had to decide whether to go along with his friends who were disapproving of his black team members. He decides to stick with his teammates. The same night one of the other white players invites all of them out to go celebrate at a restaurant. The restaurant owner refuses to let the team eat because of the black players.

The coaches also come to a disagreement on how to coach the boys. The team members call a meeting and decide that they are going to stick together regardless of all the disapproval around
