Plot Summary
Coach Clay Driscoll is a small town basketball coach who seems to have everything going against him: a team he doesn't want, a town that doesn't support girl's sports and small town politics that threaten to undermine any chance he has of winning. But his pride and his "girls," the Lady Cyclones, refuse to let him quit. This inspiring tale of perseverance, character and redemption pits Coach Driscoll (Jeffrey Donovan, Hitch) against the school board President Ellis Brawley (Oscar nominee Bruce Dern, Coming Home) who has the school board and the town in his pocket. You'll cheer these strong-willed young women and their hard-headed coach as they fight for equality and a share of the dream, taking on the town prejudice and their own self-doubt in this heart-warming true story of a team, a town and a man who wouldn't give up.

good movie
For those of you who like movies such as facing the giants or glory road this movie is about a man who is forced to coach girls basketball, and he accidentally falls in love with it. He accepts the challenges and rises up to make his team the best it has ever been. Jeffrey Donovan is by far one of the best actors i have ever seen. He did a fantastic job on this movies,as such with all his other jobs. I own this movie, and for such a small budget film they did an amazing job telling the true story of Jim Keith and his basketball team. :D
Wonderful Movie
Jeffrey Donovan does an amazing job portraying coach Clay Driscoll. The range of emotions from coaching thru his personal life really come alive. Samantha Mathis and Bruce Dern are fabulous as well. Kuddos to the girls basketball team and a real life amazing event in the finals! Be sure to watch the special features. definitely a 5 star movie.
Inspirational
Small towns live for their high school sports. This movie deals with so many aspects of rural life. We loved it, could identify characters in the movie that we know in real life, and cheered when Coach stood up to the cattle baron. One person really can make a difference, a big difference. Great movie.
