The Film
Miracle at Donna (Working Title) is an American sports documentary film.
While South Texas has not seen another State Championship since 1961, Head Coach Earl Scott, Asst Coach Bennie La Prade and his 17
member team of Hispanics (10) and Whites (7) have become legends amongst the sports fans in the community.
In 1961, Donna High School in Donna, Texas, two coaches Earl Scott and Bennie La Prade, was not influenced by a common racism that still
existed and treated every team member equally resulting in inspiring his team to the State Championship.
A miraculous story of a very special group of young men who overcame every
unimaginable obstacle and a town that overcame racial barriers sooner then the rest of the country, this was a result of a couple of very
special coaches and trainers, and a town that saw deeper and who saw no color, just players.
