Yeah...according to those who were there at spring camp, Sunshine never kissed anyone. This movie took so many liberties with the actual events that you would think they didn't bother to read about what happened other than the fact that they won the state championship that year.
Yeah, really if you believe about, given how many classifications there are, there were probably like 50-75 schools in the south that won state championships the first year they let blacks engage with them.

Remember the Titans (2000)
Questioning the Story:
Were all of the Titan players in the feature based on actual people?
The majority of the Titan players in the film are based on real people (see the Titans team photo below). However, while researching the Remember the Titans true story, we learned that actor Ryan Gosling's character, Alan Bosley, is not a actual person. The movie shows Alan giving up his spot to Pete (Donald Faison) during a game. This scene was added to emphasize the selflessness of the players. Ray Budds (Burgess Jenkins) is also a fictionalized character. The film depicts a bigoted Ray being kicked off the team by captain Gerry Bertier. This never actually happened. Former Titan players have stated that this type of player would have been kicked off the team during training camp, before the season ever started. -'71 Titans Website
