These scenes portrayed Washington's high school football team being in summer camp at Gettysburg College and then there was another scene where Washington and his entire team were standing in a cemetery that was supposed to be on the battlefield of Gettysburg.  Here are my questions.

I did not recognize the cemetery scenes as appearing in any portion of either the battlefield cemetery or Evergreen cemetery, as the tombstones were obviously military (i.e. in upright evenly distributed row), but I do not recall any of the Union grave markers at the Gettysburg Cemetery being anything other than flat in the ground and not upright.  I could be mistaken on this point.  Were these cemetery scenes actually filmed in a Gettysburg cemetery or were they filmed elsewhere.

I believe that the military markers in the National Cemetery near the
western(?) wall are upright, these markers were for those buried from
/other/ wars & battles...
