A great movie

Rating: 10/10 (2 June 2006)

A wonderful movie. And a perennial favorite that is (I think loosely) based upon the story of an actual southern Indiana high school team.
As it follows the fortunes of the Hickory Huskers, it really gets what small town basketball was like (and perhaps still is like)in rural areas. You owe it to yourself to watch it.
A bit of trivia: Watching it just now, I noticed that in the locker room before the 'big game' the coach is discussing the opposing players names, which are written on a blackboard. A quick check to IMDb revealed that these names are the actual last names of the actor/ballplayers portraying the Huskers.
