Disappointed

Rating: 7/10 (22 January 2007)

I would have preferred the true story. I was waiting at the end to read about what happened to the team as a result of the great win and there was nothing, just credits. I checked it out on the internet and found that a lot of it was fiction. The coach wasn't a washed up middle aged man, but a handsome young married man with a strong faith in God.
The best part of the true story was that 9 out of the 12 players on the team did graduate from college and that probably had a lot to do with the esteem gained from winning the State Championship. The star player did benefit from playing.
"Plump's famous final second shot assured the championship victory for the Indians, and the Indiana High School Athletic Association awarded him the Trester Award for mental attitude, sportsmanship, and character."
" Plump played collegiately at Butler, where he set single-season and career scoring records, and then played four seasons with the Phillips 66 Oilers in the National Industrial League."
"The shot heard 'round the world'" changed his life, his teammates' lives, and his community's image forever.
NOW THAT IS A STORY WORTH TELLING!!!!
