From Remember the Titans to Real-Time Connection: Inside Alexandria City Athletics

At Alexandria City High School, athletics aren’t just extracurricular activities; they’re part of the school’s identity. The school is home to the story that inspired the critically acclaimed film Remember the Titans.

For Athletic Director Felix Trammell, honoring that legacy means ensuring every athlete and family member stays connected to the moment.

“Seeing the joy on the athletes’ faces when they succeed, that’s the moment where it pays off.”

These moments are special for everyone involved, and Alexandria City High School utilizes the PlayOn suite to amplify experiences that will last a lifetime.

Bringing Families Together, Near and Far

Providing athletes a great experience is important, but the broader Alexandria City community wants to share in those experiences too. Trammell explains that the NFHS Network is a powerful tool for connecting with community members who live far away.

The power of connection also supports Trammell in his leadership role. As the athletic director, he can't make it to every event. However, the NFHS Network helps him stay connected to all his programs.

Giving Every Athlete a Big‑Play Moment

Staying connected to all programs doesn’t just mean the varsity teams. Junior varsity and freshman teams deserve the spotlight as well.

This allows athletes at every level to showcase their abilities and perform for family members that can’t attend in person, further strengthening the sense of community.

Better Film, Smarter Coaching, Faster Development

The same film that strengthens the Alexandria City community also supports coaching analytics and detailed performance insights. Trammell explains that before MaxPreps Advantage, the process was tedious, often relying on a parent to volunteer to record games.

Now, Alexandria City coaches receive analytical breakdowns within 12 hours of a game ending. That efficiency gives them more time for player development instead of spending hours logging stats.

A Seamless Event Experience With GoFan

Fans and coaches can’t enjoy an event if operations don’t run smoothly. GoFan ensures Alexandria City events operate seamlessly, from gate operations to financial reporting, all while saving him hours.

Financial Clarity for the Entire Staff

The entire Alexandria City administration sees the benefits of GoFan, especially bookkeepers.

The Titans no longer worry about manual cash counting and revenue leakage. With GoFan, every dollar is accounted for.

Community Moments That Last

The moments created during these events stay with the athletes and community for years to come. Wins and losses fade, but the sense of pride developed can last decades.

In Alexandria City’s case, Trammell shared how they hosted a special event to honor those who came before.

From grandparents watching across the country to coaches breaking down film faster than ever, Alexandria City High School is honoring its tradition, not by staying in the past, but by empowering the next generation of Titans.

Every school deserves tools that elevate athletes, empower coaches, and connect communities — no matter the distance.
