While Contra Costa County is clearly a source of sports movie material, it apparently does not make a good location when it comes time to roll film. Coach Carter, which was set in Richmond, was actually filmed in Long Beach. LaDouceur’s story is being made in New Orleans, according to the Houston Chronicle.
