The 1987 Garner Senior High football team won the state title. A musical about a group of boys that captured the imagination of a small town and won the state football championship. Garner had a population of about 12,000, but had close to 10,000 fans in Charlotte for the title game against a team from the biggest city in the state.

If you were in Garner in 1987, re-live the memory and learn what has happened to the players since 1987. If you were not here in 1987, this is an opportunity to learn about an important chapter in Garner's history.

87 is written and produced by Garner resident and the retired, award-winning News & Observer sports writer, Tim Stevens.
