1
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:06,490
This program was founded
on certain ideals.

2
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:10,220
They have been drowned by the
noise and distraction of fame.

3
00:01:10,320 --> 00:01:13,860
We got lost, caught up in the hype...

4
00:01:13,960 --> 00:01:16,288
the celebrity, the glory...

5
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:20,649
and the relentless pressure
to keep the streak alive.

6
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:42,260
The sophomore goes back to
set up the screen for Tucker.

7
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:44,420
Tucker got a block. Tucker has space.

8
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:46,620
- Tucker breaks a tackle.
- What a move!

9
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:49,020
Forty-five up the middle.
One man to beat.

10
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:53,260
Throwing one deep down the middle,
going for Jones. Touchdown De La Salle!

11
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:55,380
Absolutely unbelievable.

12
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:59,220
The greatest high-school
performance I've seen in 15 years.

13
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:02,020
De La Salle High has won
three titles in a row.

14
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:04,740
Their 48th consecutive victory.

15
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,940
To the fans, it's quickly
becoming known as "The Streak."

16
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:12,140
Tonight, they break a 22-year-old win
record held by a Michigan high school.

17
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:14,940
Talking about streaks,
there's a lot of pressure...

18
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:17,260
Coach Lad has done an amazing job.

19
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:21,087
De La Salle has been winning
for the past 11 years, straight.

20
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:38,700
Welcome to the 2003 Northern
Conference Sectional Championships...

21
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:42,820
where powerhouse De La Salle
brings their 150-game win streak...

22
00:02:42,920 --> 00:02:45,964
against their rivals,
the Pirates of Pittsburg High.

23
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,220
- Hey, Bob. Bob.
- Marty, you live under the stadium?

24
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:52,340
Bob, 25 years coaching this team...

25
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:56,620
favored to win your 12th championship,
150 wins. How did you pull it off?

26
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:58,900
Well, winning a lot
of games is doable.

27
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,780
Teaching kids there's
more to life, that's hard.

28
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:04,740
Come on. You turned this
team into a winning machine.

29
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,500
How long you think you can
keep the streak alive?

30
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:09,700
The streak was never our goal.

31
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,220
Yeah? Well, then,
why do you keep winning?

32
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:15,171
This program's a lot of things.

33
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:19,084
It's not just a football team,
or win-streak machine.

34
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:22,500
It's a family.

35
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,980
A brotherhood which is based in love.

36
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:27,900
Put simply...

37
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:32,808
love means you can count on me,
in good times and in bad.

38
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:38,820
Ladies and gentlemen, here to play for
their 12th straight championship win...

39
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,771
the De La Salle Spartans.

40
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:44,140
Go Spartans!

41
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:47,922
I love this part.
Totally freaks out the other team.

42
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:52,180
I know I'm not supposed to
say this, let alone think it.

43
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,562
This streak's our legacy.

44
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:58,540
We will never experience anything
like this again in our lives.

45
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,020
You guys are all my family...

46
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:04,580
but after tomorrow night,
this will never be like this again.

47
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:07,660
I'll never forget my time
on this team, or with you.

48
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:09,060
Spartans for life!

49
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:10,850
Spartans for life!

50
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:16,260
Streak, streak, streak!

51
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:20,849
Terrance Kelly takes the opening kickoff
on the five-yard line. Gets a block.

52
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:24,580
Terrance Kelly is the best
prospect on the field.

53
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,540
Sees a wedge and shoots up
the middle over the 40.

54
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:29,763
Brought down on the 49-yard line.

55
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:31,900
All right, I got Cam's card.

56
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:36,410
"Training goal: Five extra gassers
after practice every day." Done.

57
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:39,921
"Practice goal:
Catch every ball." Perfect.

58
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:43,460
"Game goal: 200 yards receiving,
two touchdowns...

59
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,240
and average 15 yards
after every catch."

60
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:50,100
Did you hear that? That is
a perfect commitment card.

61
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:54,780
Big goals that stretch his abilities,
but doable when giving a perfect effort.

62
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:56,980
- You go get those, Cam.
- Yes, sir.

63
00:04:57,080 --> 00:05:00,727
Gonzales throws a long,
deep ball to Cam Colvin...

64
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:06,260
who out-jumps the defenders for
De La Salle's first score of the game.

65
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:09,100
Colvin is a coveted
Division 1 prospect...

66
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:12,380
who's drawing interest from
top programs in the country.

67
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:16,380
Not asking you to be perfect every play.
What we're asking of you...

68
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:19,140
and what you should be
asking of each other...

69
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:22,364
is to give a perfect effort
from snap to whistle.

70
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:26,500
Cam Colvin just pitched
the ball back to Kelly.

71
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,300
The most athletic play
I've seen all year.

72
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:33,460
I got T.K.'s card. "Three extra sets,
cleans, every day after practice."

73
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:36,730
Blue 18! Set, hut!

74
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:40,486
Throw the ball!

75
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:42,721
Yeah, that's it!

76
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:45,820
- I got Howard's card.
- This is Jimmy's card.

77
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,740
- Nice! Great block.
- "Two hundred fifty push-ups...

78
00:05:48,840 --> 00:05:52,044
- ...after workout."
- "Get to the second level on sweeps."

79
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:54,260
I have Chris' card.

80
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:57,900
"Training commitment: Ten extra
tire drags after practice every day.

81
00:05:58,000 --> 00:05:59,900
Game goal: Two running touchdowns."

82
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:03,380
Their middle linebacker's
gonna be covering you, Chris.

83
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:05,660
You have way more speed than him.

84
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:07,860
Gonzales, under center,
takes the snap.

85
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,845
Pitches out to Ryan,
who's got room to run.

86
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:14,811
Sheds a tackle.

87
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:20,940
In for the touchdown,
which makes the score 27 to nothing.

88
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:24,620
So, Mickey, does Chris wanna
break this record as bad as you?

89
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:28,527
- Yeah, he's getting there.
- Thanks. Good block, good block.

90
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,980
You see number 34? Ryan?

91
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:35,020
Chris Ryan? Write that name down.

92
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:38,700
When Cam Colvin and Terrance Kelly
are gone, he's the whole team.

93
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:42,260
I mention he's gonna break the
state's scoring record next year?

94
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:46,360
If there's anything anyone wants
to say, now is your shot.

95
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:52,020
Look, I just wanna say...

96
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:55,260
in my four years here I
played a lot of games.

97
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:59,804
But none is more important to me
than tomorrow's. My last game.

98
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:02,020
I love you, guys.

99
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:05,005
We always say to
finish strong, right?

100
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,328
Tomorrow I'm playing for Cam's mom...

101
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:11,220
who loves this team almost
as much as Cam does.

102
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:12,860
Love you, boy.

103
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:15,162
Love you too, man.

104
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:21,482
I know some of you guys already
know this, but most of you don't.

105
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:25,567
My grandfather has cancer.

106
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:31,041
He can't come to our practices anymore,
he can't even make the games.

107
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:34,780
But every day, he waits for me
to get back from practice...

108
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:37,924
just so I can tell
him how we're doing.

109
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:40,980
As simple as that sounds...

110
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:44,443
that's one of the things
that keeps him going.

111
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:50,041
You know, our progress
keeps him going.

112
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:53,380
I'm grateful for that.

113
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:56,740
None of the juniors share
their emotions. Just the seniors.

114
00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:59,540
- I know.
- Second string, you're in.

115
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:02,340
Coach Bob Ladouceur
is putting in his juniors.

116
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:04,700
These young men
have big shoes to fill...

117
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:08,402
if they plan on continuing
this undefeated streak.

118
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:14,300
Tayshon Lanear missed
an easy block...

119
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:17,340
- ...Chris Ryan pays the price.
- Let's hit out there!

120
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:20,340
Yo, Tayshon. If it isn't too
much to ask, pick it up.

121
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:25,460
- Chill, man. I'll get you on the next play.
- Don't get it right, don't get a next one.

122
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:28,650
Hey, easy, little Lad.
Your pops is the coach, not you.

123
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:32,571
Hut!

124
00:08:36,560 --> 00:08:38,842
Go Ryan! Bring it in!

125
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:44,925
- Chris Ryan with another great run.
- Attaboy, Chris!

126
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:48,140
- Huh, 34.
- Yeah.

127
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:50,568
Four, three, two, one!

128
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:58,800
De La Salle! De La Salle!
De La Salle!

129
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:07,420
De La Salle pushes their
winning streak to 151 games.

130
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:09,420
We're number one! We're number one!

131
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:11,220
De La Salle's streak continues.

132
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:14,888
We're number one! We're number one!

133
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:21,844
Streak! Streak! Streak!

134
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:27,010
Great game, coach.

135
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:29,940
Half a dozen schools want
us to come for official visits.

136
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:33,140
- He deserves it, Mr. Kelly.
- Thank you, coach. Great job.

137
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:36,260
- Hey, T-Gram.
- Great job, Coach Ladouceur.

138
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:38,289
Hey, this is crazy.

139
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:40,780
There's my baby.

140
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:44,801
T-Gram! That's cool.

141
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:48,380
Get off of me, you big bugger.

142
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:49,620
- Pops.
- Great job.

143
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:51,980
- Good stuff. I love you.
- Love you too.

144
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:53,940
- Hey, coach.
- You're doing it.

145
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:56,740
You're doing it.
Getting my baby out of Richmond.

146
00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:59,740
- He's a very special young man.
- Thank you.

147
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:02,980
T-Gram, I'm gonna come see
you every chance I get, right?

148
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:05,500
I don't want you back
in that Richmond mess.

149
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:07,290
We coming to see you.

150
00:10:13,680 --> 00:10:17,123
Quitter! Hey.

151
00:10:17,560 --> 00:10:18,886
Hey, boss.

152
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:25,644
- Morning, coach. Keep the streak alive.
- Morning, Pete. The streak alive, yeah.

153
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:32,288
Michael, cut it out.
All right? Seriously.

154
00:10:32,680 --> 00:10:34,530
You kidding me?

155
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:36,700
- I'll break that.
- Guys, guys!

156
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:40,049
Come here! Give me that horn!
Come back here, you little...

157
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:43,460
Here he is. Good run?

158
00:10:43,560 --> 00:10:45,410
- Hey, Terry.
- Hey, there he is.

159
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:48,900
Cal State. What do they want?

160
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:51,328
It's just a coaching offer.

161
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:56,900
You're throwing it in the trash?
A job offer. We don't get to talk about it?

162
00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:00,300
College coaching. It's not what I do.

163
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:03,809
But we should at
least discuss it, Bob.

164
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:08,362
- Terry.
- Hey, great pancakes.

165
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:10,540
Wow, okay.

166
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:13,460
You, Louis Armstrong,
in your room. Practice.

167
00:11:13,560 --> 00:11:15,460
You, million things to do.

168
00:11:15,560 --> 00:11:19,020
Gotta take the tree down.
I've been up since 5. I'm just like...

169
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:21,340
Make sure your room
is clean, Michael.

170
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:24,246
You should at least consider it, Bob.

171
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:28,723
Great pancakes.

172
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:38,860
He acts like it doesn't
mean anything to him...

173
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:42,660
but he's got a diary,
just counting down the TDs.

174
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:44,740
- A diary?
- She's a chronic liar.

175
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:46,980
- A very, very ill young woman.
- Really?

176
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:48,540
Did I mention delusional?

177
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:51,780
- You have a diary.
- It's a playbook. At least my earrings...

178
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:55,900
- ...aren't bigger than my girlfriend's.
- Sure. Okay. That's mean, but true.

179
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,601
Yo, my fellow Spartans.

180
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:01,500
I gotta mind my etiquette.

181
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:06,660
You're officially Captain Chris I'm-Gonna-
Break-the-State-TD-Scoring-Record now.

182
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:09,380
Well, at least the vote
was based on ability...

183
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:11,740
not family connections, little Lad.

184
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:15,060
Like how I'm gonna be starting
wide receiver and not you?

185
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:18,364
Hey, man. It's cool. We'll see.

186
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:23,940
Oh, look out. Here comes the luckiest
cornhusker in Contra Costa County.

187
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:25,420
- Beasie!
- What's up?

188
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:29,167
- How's it going, fellas?
- Hey, girls.

189
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:31,540
My big man on the line.

190
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:33,740
- Gotta bring it for me.
- To the house.

191
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,620
- Okay.
- Okay, okay.

192
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:39,620
- I'm gonna go freshen up. Wanna come?
- Yes.

193
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:42,420
- How much fresher can she get?
- Too fresh for you.

194
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:44,131
Sassy.

195
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:48,980
Why do they do that? Go together.

196
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:52,100
- How did you get with her?
- She asked me out.

197
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:55,380
- She asked him out.
- Tell me you're jumping all over that.

198
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:57,842
No, we're... We're waiting.

199
00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:00,500
- They're waiting.
- Yeah.

200
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:02,820
- For what?
- The big day.

201
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:04,860
We took a purity pledge.

202
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:08,500
Son. What's the name of
the cult that you're in?

203
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:10,325
Pleasant Hill Baptist.

204
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:18,003
That boy's taken one too
many shots to the head.

205
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:20,980
Sounds like all the
other college offers.

206
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:22,340
- A nice house?
- Yeah.

207
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:25,740
The kids going to college for free?
What was I thinking?

208
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:29,180
Look, the players are handpicked,
self-motivated, smart...

209
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:34,020
eyes fixed on their bright futures.
They don't need what I do, Bev.

210
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:37,340
They don't need a coach who
knows the game inside and out?

211
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:41,260
Who knows how to teach kids to
become honorable, accountable men...

212
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:42,740
with self-worth?

213
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:47,140
Bob, you do it and I've watched you do
it brilliantly since I was 23 years old.

214
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:49,408
I wouldn't be helping anyone.

215
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:54,580
I mean, shouldn't it be easier?
Don't you deserve that?

216
00:13:54,680 --> 00:13:56,980
I've seen the schedule
for college coaches.

217
00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:00,060
You think it'd be easier, less grueling?
It would not.

218
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:02,522
You don't know. How do you know?

219
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:07,406
I just want you happy and healthy...

220
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:12,780
and yeah, home every once in a while,
just playing football with your own kids.

221
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:15,380
Going for a stupid walk
for hot chocolate...

222
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:18,684
maybe more than, you know,
twice a decade.

223
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:23,580
You... You're gonna
get your record, bro.

224
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:25,820
Even if Mickey has to steal it.

225
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:27,380
Forget about your dad.

226
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:30,660
You're 37 touchdowns away
from breaking a state record.

227
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:33,042
All right, it's about you.

228
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:36,090
Us.

229
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:39,288
- Our year.
- Our year.

230
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:42,720
- Hold them high, boys. Hold them high.
- T.K.

231
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:46,123
- What's up, big guy?
- To your year. Chris, you...

232
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:52,500
You're captain now. My man Danny
over here, he grew up on the team.

233
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:55,100
Has all the credit,
he doesn't need a title.

234
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:56,640
Kind of makes me wonder.

235
00:14:57,560 --> 00:14:58,900
About what?

236
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:02,180
If it's gonna be your year,
or some other team's year.

237
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:05,100
- K, we haven't lost a game...
- I know, believe me.

238
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:09,803
I'm just saying, you guys gotta
open your eyes. You ain't ready.

239
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:12,540
On skills, you have
half the team we did.

240
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:16,460
On attitude, most of y'all got big
heads or just wanna wear the jersey.

241
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:19,780
So you gotta step up.
You gotta become real leaders.

242
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:24,244
You have to motivate your players to
get their game even tighter than ours.

243
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:26,804
Next year is on you.

244
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:31,300
Take care, boys.

245
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:32,647
- Peace, man.
- Yeah.

246
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:42,240
It's time to deal with
the De La Salle problem.

247
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:46,780
Last year, De La Salle
out-scored league opponents...

248
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:49,500
326 to 27.

249
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:54,203
Their average score against
league teams was 47 to 4.

250
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:58,260
How, Bob? How are we supposed
to compete against a program...

251
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:01,860
that pulls in the best players
with the wave of a scholarship?

252
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:03,420
For the hundredth time...

253
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:07,700
De La Salle High's code of conduct
forbids scholarshipping athletes.

254
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:11,380
Explain to me why the best
wide receiver in my district...

255
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:14,180
rides a bus for a solid
hour up to De La Salle.

256
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:17,300
Our program attracts great athletes,
plain and simple.

257
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:21,980
No matter how you get your players,
you're stacking your team with talent.

258
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:24,660
- That's not cheating?
- Let me get this straight.

259
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:27,486
You wanna penalize us for
building a winning program?

260
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:32,820
I'm done with this! Nobody wins 151
football games straight without cheating.

261
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:37,045
We will not play
De La Salle next season.

262
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:45,690
Great. Done.
We don't wanna play you either.

263
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:47,980
We'll play our five league games...

264
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:52,580
then we'll fill our open slots with
tougher teams from bigger conferences.

265
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:56,300
Gee, seems like I heard the 49ers
already have a full schedule.

266
00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:58,045
Who's left?

267
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:00,331
Long Beach Poly.

268
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:08,660
Eidson, Poly's the number-one
high-school team in Southern California.

269
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:10,564
Yeah. Isn't it great?

270
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:12,420
Poly?

271
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:15,220
- We talked about this.
- Never said you set it up.

272
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:18,020
Nationally, we're number one.
They're number two.

273
00:17:18,120 --> 00:17:20,740
They've been trying to
get us on their schedule.

274
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:22,260
They're not afraid of us.

275
00:17:22,360 --> 00:17:26,380
Guys, can't wait to
see you play Poly.

276
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:27,806
Good luck.

277
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:34,082
You can thank me later.

278
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:37,580
In Luke 6:38...

279
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:40,611
Luke says, "Give and it
will be given to you.

280
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:44,420
Good measure, pressed down,
shaken together and running over...

281
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:46,580
will be poured into your lap...

282
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:51,647
for with the measure you use,
it will be measured to you."

283
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:55,762
Any idea what Luke is
saying here? Arturo?

284
00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:58,300
You reap what you sow.

285
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:01,580
Like, whatever you do, good or bad,
comes back to you.

286
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:04,020
Anyone else think you
give to others...

287
00:18:04,120 --> 00:18:07,369
and the blessing is
returned in equal measure?

288
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:09,180
Salinas.

289
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:12,940
I've worked hard to do the right
thing, and I've been blessed.

290
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:16,244
- How's that?
- Getting to play on the streak team.

291
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:20,540
You ain't in line to be starting
quarterback on the streak team...

292
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:22,900
because you've done the right thing.

293
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:26,249
It's because you're 6'2"
with a cannon for an arm.

294
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:29,763
So, Tayshon, what do you believe?

295
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:34,340
Well, down where I sleep, the dealers
in Richmond make mad money.

296
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:38,060
My aunt was an ER nurse.
Worked her whole life helping people.

297
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:41,100
Time came for her to get hers,
they up and fired her...

298
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:43,880
six months before they
gotta pay her retirement.

299
00:18:44,120 --> 00:18:47,900
Dog-eat-dog. Take what you need.
They don't care how good you've been.

300
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:51,980
You sitting around waiting for somebody
to pay you back, you going hungry.

301
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:57,060
So why does a guy like Luke,
who's a doctor, painter, writer, historian...

302
00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:59,727
take the time to invent a lie?

303
00:18:59,880 --> 00:19:01,286
It ain't a lie.

304
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:05,740
Your pops dies, five-0 puts your
mom on trial for it when, oops...

305
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:07,980
our bad, the shipyard poisoned him.

306
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:11,180
Pressure gives her a stroke
and now she ain't got long.

307
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:13,369
Easy. Everyone knows the story.

308
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:15,460
So tell me, homey.

309
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:19,082
You really been that bad to
deserve all that's come your way?

310
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:21,646
Can I speak to Cam?

311
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:23,287
Cam.

312
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:48,380
Yo, Coach Lad.

313
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:50,250
Yo, Jamal.

314
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:53,500
Cool, thanks.

315
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:57,088
Coach. You know how you
like to talk and talk...

316
00:19:57,240 --> 00:19:59,380
- ...and sometimes holler?
- That's right.

317
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:02,260
And one time,
Cam said you said the S-word.

318
00:20:02,360 --> 00:20:03,700
I remember that time.

319
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:08,380
Well, here, you gotta be
real quiet. My mom's resting.

320
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:10,045
Not a peep.

321
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:23,690
- Hey, coach.
- Cam, look.

322
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:27,000
Man, that is tight.

323
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:29,842
Watch Mama, all right?

324
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:32,928
See, Mama?

325
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:36,645
How is she?

326
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:40,250
The nurse say...

327
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:43,242
it's just a matter of time.

328
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:48,121
And that's it. That's the
last of my Mohicans.

329
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:50,928
You have Jamal.

330
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:54,340
The boy don't know it yet...

331
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:57,500
but he's going down to San Jose,
stay with my cousin.

332
00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:01,486
They should be good to him,
but ain't got no room for me.

333
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:04,900
I got nobody left.

334
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:10,445
Well, family isn't
just blood relatives.

335
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:14,408
It's anyone who loves
you unconditionally.

336
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:22,170
"To Coach Lad...

337
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:26,780
I promise to live the rest of my
days by the lessons you taught me.

338
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:30,448
'Give and it shall be given to you...

339
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:35,370
for whatever measure you use, it shall
be measured back to you in equal... "'

340
00:21:40,360 --> 00:21:43,325
Why is this happening to me, coach?

341
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:46,011
What did I do?

342
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:47,980
I'm trying.

343
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:49,860
I'm making my perfect effort.

344
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:52,845
It don't matter. Ain't enough.

345
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:55,322
What if Tayshon is right?

346
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:57,940
Maybe God don't see me,
or he don't care...

347
00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:00,060
because I ain't worth his time.

348
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:03,204
Don't make no sense, coach.

349
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:05,540
I'm alone.

350
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:08,127
I got nobody left.

351
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:09,660
No, you're not.

352
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:12,088
You've got Jamal...

353
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:15,731
me and 60 brothers.

354
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:30,565
I'm just gonna nap for 10
more minutes, then get up.

355
00:23:37,120 --> 00:23:39,448
Don't snore.

356
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:47,407
I'm not laughing.

357
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:52,500
What did I ever see in you? Bob?

358
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:54,404
Bob? Bob?

359
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:57,620
Bob, Bob, please. Bob? Bob?

360
00:23:57,720 --> 00:23:59,380
Danny!

361
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:01,860
Bob, what's going on?
Bob? Oh, my God, Bob!

362
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:03,740
- Danny!
- Yeah, Mom.

363
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:06,088
Danny!

364
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:09,780
- Mom, what's wrong?
- Danny, please call 911!

365
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:12,162
- Oh, my God! Call 911!
- Mom! Mom!

366
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:16,580
- Dad? Where is the phone? It's not here.
- Danny, tell them it's a seizure.

367
00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:18,962
- Find the phone!
- Where is it?

368
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:24,220
Oh, my God. Look at me.
Look in my eyes. Look in my eyes.

369
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:27,330
Oh, my God, you okay?
You okay? Breathe.

370
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:42,569
- Hey, Amani. Thanks for coming.
- Hey, Amani.

371
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:46,060
- Oh, one for me. Just... Just one second.
- Cool.

372
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:48,620
Hey. Who's in there?

373
00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:52,845
Currently paying his respects to
the coach, Maurice Jones Drew.

374
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:54,820
No way.

375
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:58,420
Coach, make sure I get you tickets
to come see me, all right?

376
00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:00,165
I want 100 from you.

377
00:25:00,360 --> 00:25:01,860
I still can't believe it.

378
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:03,844
Coach Lad smoking.

379
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:09,380
- Mrs. Lad. Good seeing you.
- So great to see you.

380
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:13,740
- Take care of the big guy for me.
- Okay, I will. Thanks for coming, Maurice.

381
00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:16,884
- Hey, you.
- Hey, Dad.

382
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:19,362
Don't look so tough now, huh?

383
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:22,220
Mr. Ladouceur.

384
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:26,889
Eighty-three percent occlusion
in your PLA descending artery.

385
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:29,300
We call that the widow-maker.

386
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:32,060
- You're a very lucky man.
- Yeah.

387
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:35,842
- So, what happens next?
- Recuperation.

388
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:40,020
Near-term, I'll be happy if you're
in good condition by April.

389
00:25:40,120 --> 00:25:41,560
That's spring practice.

390
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:43,820
Not for you.

391
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:46,780
You've got five stents
and one shot to heal.

392
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:49,020
Stepping onto a field before summer?

393
00:25:49,120 --> 00:25:51,448
Don't even think about it.

394
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:55,850
Dad, you're gonna coach
me next season, right?

395
00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:58,204
Danny.

396
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:01,769
Danny.

397
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:04,820
Hey, Michael...

398
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:07,060
wanna go harass some more doctors?

399
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:08,521
Come on.

400
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:14,482
Danny's just worried about you.
This really scared him.

401
00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:17,451
It's a lie.

402
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:20,241
What is?

403
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:25,405
Me. I got caught up in work and the
streak and let it nearly kill me.

404
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:28,260
I talk character,
honesty, perfection...

405
00:26:28,360 --> 00:26:32,020
commit to each other, your teachers,
your friends, your family.

406
00:26:32,120 --> 00:26:34,100
Was I committed to you?

407
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:36,700
Was I committed to my children?

408
00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:40,925
I've been a lousy husband
and the worst dad.

409
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:46,001
Danny's not angry because he isn't
getting the chance to play for you.

410
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:50,964
He's angry because he wants
a chance to know you.

411
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:55,847
What do I do now?

412
00:26:57,240 --> 00:27:01,411
Spend as much time with your
family as you do the team.

413
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:09,648
See you later, babe. Call me tonight.

414
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:12,620
Hey, T.K. Heads up.

415
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:14,420
- Over here.
- Who wants it?

416
00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:15,740
- Me.
- All right.

417
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:18,566
- Me, me, me.
- Right here. Right here.

418
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:21,300
- What's all this?
- All for you.

419
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:24,860
This is Coach Little. The rules
say you can't keep any of it yet.

420
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:27,180
You're getting looks
from other schools.

421
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:29,580
Peek at what you
look like in our gear.

422
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:32,620
If I'd have had these,
I'd have been All City.

423
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:34,060
Newest model from Nike.

424
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:37,807
Mrs. Kelly, maybe you wanna
open that last bubble package.

425
00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:40,131
Hey, what you got, T-Gram?

426
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:42,561
Diploma.

427
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:46,607
- With your name on it.
- What?

428
00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:50,928
What? What?

429
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:55,580
No matter what, four years from now,
when you have your real diploma...

430
00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:59,660
it will reward you and your
family for the rest of your life.

431
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:02,820
- Yeah, sure.
- So you've got a lot of offers.

432
00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:06,300
What's it gonna take to get you
to play for Oregon next year?

433
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:09,001
Say yes.

434
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:12,660
- Yes.
- Cam Colvin comes with me.

435
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:14,100
We offered a full ride.

436
00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:17,140
We know his mother passed away,
but haven't heard back.

437
00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:19,727
Done deal. Full ride.

438
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:23,051
Oh, we did it, man.

439
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:43,380
Yo, the great black hope.

440
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:45,940
- Cam here?
- He's in the back.

441
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:49,210
Y'all come on and get
something to eat now.

442
00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:03,260
- Oh, coz, what's up?
- What's up?

443
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:07,700
You get a full ride from Oregon and
dodge my calls. That's what's up.

444
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:11,020
Look, man, I ain't going to
Oregon or any place near you.

445
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:12,260
I'm going to Miami.

446
00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:13,580
Miami?

447
00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:16,100
- It's best for me.
- Best for you?

448
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:18,980
Since day one, we've been
doing what's best for us.

449
00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:20,500
You and me, together.

450
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:22,700
- We were 14.
- We were friends.

451
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:24,809
Whatever.

452
00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:27,500
Man, get up! I'm talking to you, dog!

453
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:31,486
Get off me! As smart as you are,
you don't know what you don't know!

454
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:34,940
You still got Landrin,
T-Gram, you got everybody.

455
00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:37,500
All I got left is Jamal.

456
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:40,724
I gotta make it to the league
so I can take care of him.

457
00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:44,647
- Cam, I know how hard this has been...
- Don't!

458
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:48,170
You're just making it harder.
Don't you see?

459
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:51,289
You see me?

460
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:54,481
I'm cursed.

461
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:57,648
Everyone I love...

462
00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:07,169
I can't lose nobody else, man.

463
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:13,246
T, I gotta let you go, man.

464
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:27,525
Man, you done lost
a lot of folks, Cam...

465
00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:30,440
but you didn't lose everybody.

466
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:50,860
- Man, Why'd you bring me this?
- It's proof.

467
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:54,220
We dreamed about playing
college ball since we was kids.

468
00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:55,660
We prayed for it.

469
00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:58,611
And now here we are, damn near grown.

470
00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:03,140
Cam, what you're holding,
that just ain't a jersey, man.

471
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:05,329
It's an answered prayer.

472
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:07,843
Look at me, dog.

473
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:10,090
You and me.

474
00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:18,367
Brothers for life, dog.

475
00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:23,564
Come on.

476
00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:33,449
Brothers for life.

477
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:37,460
All right, team, bring it in.
Everyone settle down.

478
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:41,003
Coach Lad is on his way in to
say a few words. Bring it down.

479
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:47,020
Alumbaugh's pulling
the team together.

480
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:49,926
Okay. Good.

481
00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:04,580
I talked to my doctors...

482
00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:09,169
and they don't feel that I should
come back to coaching you.

483
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:14,140
But rather than drawing
this whole thing out...

484
00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:17,171
I'm just gonna be truthful with you.

485
00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:21,644
I'm not sure when
I'll be able to return.

486
00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:27,645
I expect you seniors to
step up and lead this team.

487
00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:35,260
And I expect you guys to continue
to give a perfect effort...

488
00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:37,369
every game.

489
00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:56,500
Not your typical trumpet number, huh?

490
00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:58,848
No, not typical.

491
00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:01,460
Getting the hang of it?

492
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:04,650
- Me or Michael?
- You.

493
00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:09,568
Anything else I can help you with?

494
00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:13,140
No. Think you're doing great.

495
00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:16,330
Just remember, I like mine rare.

496
00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:19,004
You got it.

497
00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:35,006
- You want the other half of this?
- Yeah, sure.

498
00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:45,082
I've dropped more passes this summer
than the previous three years combined.

499
00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:51,140
You're not seeing the
ball into your hands.

500
00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:55,001
- You're looking up-field before you catch.
- I know.

501
00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:57,727
I try to stop, but...

502
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:00,281
What should I do?

503
00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:04,007
You gotta work on that
with Coach Alumbaugh.

504
00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:06,660
I don't need Coach Alumbaugh.

505
00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:08,007
I need you.

506
00:34:10,240 --> 00:34:12,980
My senior season is here, Dad.
My last shot.

507
00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:15,340
Danny, I'm not your coach.

508
00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:18,460
But I wanna spend some
time together, get closer.

509
00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:21,380
- I found a river-rafting outfit...
- River rafting?

510
00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:24,420
Afterwards, we'll win the
father-son three-legged race.

511
00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:28,180
This is perfect. The whole time
I needed a father, I got a coach.

512
00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:32,201
And now I need a coach and
all I've got is a lame dad.

513
00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:40,020
Exercise?

514
00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:42,288
Running again.

515
00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:48,251
- How are my test scores?
- Better than expected.

516
00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:52,448
Your heart has made an unusually
strong recovery, Mr. Ladouceur.

517
00:34:52,720 --> 00:34:56,208
You're free to return
to normal activities.

518
00:34:56,720 --> 00:34:58,160
Coaching?

519
00:34:59,240 --> 00:35:02,364
Keep the stress down, but, yes.

520
00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:09,380
Wow, that's great.
It must be such a relief.

521
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:11,340
Yeah.

522
00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:15,611
She said I could go back to coaching.

523
00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:21,122
So is that your plan, Bob?

524
00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:29,050
We'll see.

525
00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:30,641
Hey.

526
00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:33,740
What's that?

527
00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:34,980
What?

528
00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:36,460
Smells good.

529
00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:39,140
Me or the sauce?

530
00:35:39,240 --> 00:35:41,020
The sauce.

531
00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:43,846
I was hoping it was me.

532
00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:46,961
Ready, and go.

533
00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:56,700
Hey, butt kicks.

534
00:35:56,800 --> 00:35:58,660
Ready, up.

535
00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:00,041
You're late.

536
00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:01,980
Yeah, I been busy.

537
00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:05,620
Well, that explains yesterday.
You missed an entire practice.

538
00:36:05,720 --> 00:36:08,420
I got a note from
the nurse, little Lad.

539
00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:11,740
How insensitive of us, Chris.
He had a tummy ache.

540
00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:14,327
And you call me that again,
I'll drop you.

541
00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:16,580
Now, that's funny.

542
00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:19,780
Nobody misses practice without
clearing it with the captain.

543
00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:24,580
Well, I ain't nobody.
On JV, man, I played both ways.

544
00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:28,980
Caught 38 passes and five picks.
How much practice do I need?

545
00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:32,260
It's not about
It's about us. This team.

546
00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:34,900
Both of y'all can go
ahead and kiss my...

547
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:36,860
Push me? Team?

548
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:41,420
Ain't no team. Truth is, it comes down
to four or five of us bringing our game.

549
00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:45,580
Say what you want, Chris, Danny.
This team thing don't mean nothing now.

550
00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:47,100
- Back off!
- Hey, hold up!

551
00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:49,540
"Team" means everything right now.

552
00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:53,500
Look around. To be successful,
you'll have to scrap for everything.

553
00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:57,566
Wanna be a scrappy team?
You're gonna have to respect each other.

554
00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:00,325
Now, get back to practice.

555
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:06,400
High kicks.

556
00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:25,140
That's how you do it.

557
00:37:25,240 --> 00:37:28,620
That boy do football and basketball.
Y'all got nothing on him.

558
00:37:28,720 --> 00:37:30,740
Hey, I want you.

559
00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:32,280
I want you, boy.

560
00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:42,260
Where the police at?
Because y'all getting robbed.

561
00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:44,927
He just schooled you, man.

562
00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:48,340
Y'all see it. Come on, let's get it.

563
00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:49,740
- Hey.
- Catch you later.

564
00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:53,260
That's how it's done.
That's how it's done, boy.

565
00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:55,620
So when you headed up to Oregon?

566
00:37:55,720 --> 00:37:57,420
First thing tomorrow, man.

567
00:37:57,520 --> 00:37:59,140
Don't forget about us, homes.

568
00:37:59,240 --> 00:38:01,940
Course not, baby.
Of course not. Come on.

569
00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:04,260
Man, all y'all horrible.

570
00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:07,291
Just straight garbage
on the court, no game.

571
00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:17,500
Have you heard from him?
Boy's got to get up early in the morning.

572
00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:19,643
Okay, Mama.

573
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:28,260
Yo, Pops, what's up?

574
00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:33,282
- You didn't forget to fill the car, did you?
- No, I just did. Supreme.

575
00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:36,642
All right. Home in 10.

576
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:41,140
He on his way.

577
00:38:41,240 --> 00:38:44,046
Let me go get his cornbread ready.

578
00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:50,860
Yo, what did you forget?

579
00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:52,889
It's me, coz.

580
00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:55,300
Lamarco, you high, dog?

581
00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:57,841
I lost my ride, man.

582
00:38:58,120 --> 00:39:00,084
Where are you?

583
00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:32,780
- Yo, Lamarco. Come on, man.
- One minute. Let me cop these digits.

584
00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:36,540
- Get them and come on. I gotta get home.
- One minute, coz.

585
00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:40,128
You gonna give me them digits, or what?
You see my ride here.

586
00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:42,620
Lamarco, come on!

587
00:39:42,720 --> 00:39:45,127
I'm coming. I'm gonna call you.

588
00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:53,300
School me, player?

589
00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:56,171
Nah, school you.

590
00:39:56,440 --> 00:39:58,324
Oh, my God!

591
00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:08,166
Call an ambulance, man!

592
00:40:16,840 --> 00:40:20,408
We have an 18-year-old
African-American with gunshot wounds.

593
00:40:21,240 --> 00:40:22,726
Mama, you stay here.

594
00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:27,250
Oh, God.

595
00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:32,820
Jesus Christ. No, no.

596
00:40:32,920 --> 00:40:35,500
Oh, no, no, no! That's my son!

597
00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:36,980
- It's all right.
- No!

598
00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:39,965
Let me go! Let me go!

599
00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:41,500
T.K.!

600
00:40:41,600 --> 00:40:44,540
T.K.! That's my son!

601
00:40:44,640 --> 00:40:47,650
Is that our baby?

602
00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:52,087
Oh, no! Oh, no!

603
00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:14,580
Hold on, help is on the way

604
00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:19,522
God hasn't forgotten you

605
00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:23,860
Be not dismayed

606
00:41:23,960 --> 00:41:28,100
Through the rough times in your life

607
00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:32,540
Everything will be all right

608
00:41:32,640 --> 00:41:39,180
Just hold on
'Cause help is on the way

609
00:41:39,280 --> 00:41:44,281
And without further ado,
Coach Bob Ladouceur.

610
00:41:52,720 --> 00:41:55,764
Thank you, Coach Ladouceur.

611
00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:00,325
Minister.

612
00:42:04,160 --> 00:42:07,660
I remember the first time I saw T.K.

613
00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:09,564
He was that...

614
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:15,240
awkward freshman, all arms
and legs, with an infectious smile.

615
00:42:16,440 --> 00:42:20,486
A coach couldn't help but notice
the smooth grace of his...

616
00:42:22,120 --> 00:42:24,368
athletic ability.

617
00:42:32,680 --> 00:42:36,202
People always ask me what
it's like to never lose.

618
00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:38,940
Today, I am lost.

619
00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:41,368
Lord, have mercy.

620
00:42:42,400 --> 00:42:45,649
It's as if life has taken
more than it gives...

621
00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:48,528
and I don't know if I can handle it.

622
00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:51,322
Lord, I'm struggling.

623
00:42:53,040 --> 00:42:55,460
I wanna understand why.

624
00:42:55,560 --> 00:42:57,820
- Why Terrance?
- Yes, Lord.

625
00:42:57,920 --> 00:42:59,804
Why now?

626
00:43:01,040 --> 00:43:04,900
If we are to call ourselves Christians,
we cannot ask these questions...

627
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:08,966
because to do so is to question
your benevolence, your divine wisdom.

628
00:43:09,960 --> 00:43:11,969
But today I am lost.

629
00:43:13,280 --> 00:43:15,289
Mr. Kelly.

630
00:43:15,520 --> 00:43:17,006
T-Gram.

631
00:43:17,160 --> 00:43:20,460
I can't even imagine
your pain right now.

632
00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:24,606
But you raised the kind of
young man we all strive for.

633
00:43:25,840 --> 00:43:27,804
We ask our players...

634
00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:31,620
to learn and embrace ideals...

635
00:43:31,720 --> 00:43:33,940
perfection, commitment...

636
00:43:34,040 --> 00:43:37,540
compassion, brotherhood, faith.

637
00:43:37,640 --> 00:43:41,460
From the first time T.K. came
across that field, I saw it.

638
00:43:41,560 --> 00:43:46,020
A kid whose grace
wasn't just athletic...

639
00:43:46,120 --> 00:43:48,322
but genuine in so many ways.

640
00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:52,020
He embodied those ideals.

641
00:43:52,120 --> 00:43:54,163
Yes, Lord.

642
00:43:55,200 --> 00:43:57,482
You never gave up on
anything or anyone.

643
00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:02,251
And I did not teach you.

644
00:44:04,040 --> 00:44:06,163
You taught me.

645
00:44:08,240 --> 00:44:09,726
Thank you...

646
00:44:10,200 --> 00:44:13,060
because when on some
other day I am lost...

647
00:44:13,160 --> 00:44:17,410
and struggling to keep my faith,
I need only remember you.

648
00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:22,220
And for reasons we are not privy to,
God wanted T.K. home.

649
00:44:22,320 --> 00:44:24,522
He is with him now.

650
00:44:24,960 --> 00:44:27,128
May God bless you.

651
00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:39,925
Cam.

652
00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:47,407
Doesn't make no sense, coach.

653
00:44:48,520 --> 00:44:51,200
I don't know what I'm
supposed to do anymore.

654
00:44:51,840 --> 00:44:53,620
You stick to the plan.

655
00:44:53,720 --> 00:44:55,570
Go to Oregon.

656
00:45:10,960 --> 00:45:14,369
Mowing the lawn?
What are you doing out here?

657
00:45:14,600 --> 00:45:16,060
Dancing at our wedding.

658
00:45:16,160 --> 00:45:18,380
With your dad.

659
00:45:18,480 --> 00:45:21,780
He grins, looks over.
You were talking with the priest.

660
00:45:21,880 --> 00:45:25,540
I remember, he leans in and said:

661
00:45:25,640 --> 00:45:30,004
"If you didn't know better, which one
puts the collar on every morning?"

662
00:45:33,640 --> 00:45:36,525
The music stops.

663
00:45:37,960 --> 00:45:40,527
The dance is over.

664
00:45:42,640 --> 00:45:45,650
And I'm heading over to rescue you.

665
00:45:49,080 --> 00:45:52,124
And he said something
I still remember.

666
00:45:53,280 --> 00:45:55,084
What's that?

667
00:45:57,960 --> 00:46:00,766
"I hope you won't be too lonely."

668
00:46:01,960 --> 00:46:03,700
Your dad raised you.

669
00:46:03,800 --> 00:46:05,900
He loved you...

670
00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:08,965
but when he died...

671
00:46:09,200 --> 00:46:13,450
I think he felt like he
didn't really know you.

672
00:46:14,520 --> 00:46:18,281
Till a minute ago, I thought
that might happen to me too.

673
00:46:20,320 --> 00:46:24,081
I was sitting up, watching
you sleep, and it hit me.

674
00:46:26,560 --> 00:46:30,700
Some people don't
know who they are...

675
00:46:30,800 --> 00:46:32,923
all that they have.

676
00:46:33,200 --> 00:46:36,051
They just know something's missing.

677
00:46:38,720 --> 00:46:41,651
So I was just sitting out here...

678
00:46:45,680 --> 00:46:48,611
getting ready to let you go again.

679
00:46:57,040 --> 00:46:58,940
No, still way too slow.

680
00:46:59,040 --> 00:47:02,528
You need to blow off the ball.
Faster step. Strike with intent.

681
00:47:04,400 --> 00:47:09,420
On Friday, we play a football team that's
been preparing for this game for a year.

682
00:47:09,520 --> 00:47:13,900
You're not hitting with intensity,
conditioning with discipline.

683
00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:16,020
Salinas, pull your weight. Come on.

684
00:47:16,120 --> 00:47:18,540
Oh, you're dogging it.
You're dogging it.

685
00:47:18,640 --> 00:47:21,660
- Commitment.
- Bellevue is bigger and stronger than us.

686
00:47:21,760 --> 00:47:25,169
Accountability. Perfect effort.
Finally, love.

687
00:47:26,120 --> 00:47:29,860
This bond is what has led Spartans
to achieve far more than anyone...

688
00:47:29,960 --> 00:47:32,900
including themselves,
believed they were capable of.

689
00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:35,180
Six, seven.

690
00:47:35,280 --> 00:47:37,900
Without it, you may
continue to win games.

691
00:47:38,000 --> 00:47:39,940
Rep it out, Tayshon. Four more.

692
00:47:40,040 --> 00:47:43,210
But you will have lost the
chance to become Spartans.

693
00:47:44,320 --> 00:47:46,170
Eight's good.

694
00:47:48,440 --> 00:47:52,580
Welcome to Seattle,
where the 2004 season opens...

695
00:47:52,680 --> 00:47:55,406
with a matchup between
two of the best teams.

696
00:48:00,360 --> 00:48:01,641
Come on!

697
00:48:03,560 --> 00:48:05,330
Let's go, let's go, let's go!

698
00:48:07,320 --> 00:48:10,940
The powerhouse De La Salle Spartans
and their national record...

699
00:48:11,040 --> 00:48:14,340
- ...151-game winning streak...
- Keep the streak alive.

700
00:48:14,440 --> 00:48:17,723
...taking on defending
Washington State champs, Bellevue.

701
00:48:18,840 --> 00:48:22,965
Down, set, hut!

702
00:48:28,520 --> 00:48:32,406
Strong right, lead at two.
Veer, pass, drag. Let's go.

703
00:48:33,160 --> 00:48:36,011
Strong left! Strong left!

704
00:48:36,240 --> 00:48:40,240
- Open back 11. Back 11.
- Down, set, hut!

705
00:48:45,680 --> 00:48:47,700
Rick Salinas throws a perfect pass...

706
00:48:47,800 --> 00:48:51,060
connecting with Danny
Ladouceur for a 13-yard gain.

707
00:48:51,160 --> 00:48:53,124
Sixteen mid-line on one. Ready?

708
00:48:55,240 --> 00:48:56,540
Go get them, Beast.

709
00:48:56,640 --> 00:49:01,460
Chris Ryan. This man has the size and
speed to play anywhere in the country.

710
00:49:01,560 --> 00:49:04,525
Red dog! Red dog! Set, hut-hut!

711
00:49:10,760 --> 00:49:13,660
Go, go, go! Come on, Chris!
Come on, Chris!

712
00:49:13,760 --> 00:49:17,020
Come on, Beast! Come on, Beast!
Come on, Beast!

713
00:49:17,120 --> 00:49:19,100
That's it! Yeah!

714
00:49:19,200 --> 00:49:22,580
Chris Ryan, showing off his ability,
breaks a 45-yard run...

715
00:49:22,680 --> 00:49:26,300
to give De La Salle a 7-to-0 lead.

716
00:49:26,400 --> 00:49:30,620
That's a great run, but our left tackle
needs to seal that backer better.

717
00:49:30,720 --> 00:49:34,288
Ryan has been a scoring machine,
amassing 52 touchdowns...

718
00:49:34,480 --> 00:49:36,808
in his sophomore and junior seasons.

719
00:49:37,480 --> 00:49:39,660
He is now 36 touchdowns away...

720
00:49:39,760 --> 00:49:43,660
from breaking the California
career touchdown record.

721
00:49:43,760 --> 00:49:45,962
Twenty-two. Hut, set, hut!

722
00:49:48,040 --> 00:49:49,924
Beaser!

723
00:49:51,160 --> 00:49:53,980
This is like the drill we
run every day at practice!

724
00:49:54,080 --> 00:49:57,011
Shed that block and get
to the ball carrier!

725
00:49:57,840 --> 00:49:59,340
Okay.

726
00:49:59,440 --> 00:50:00,940
They're changing it up.

727
00:50:01,040 --> 00:50:03,740
They're in man to man,
then dropping to cover two.

728
00:50:03,840 --> 00:50:06,460
Why don't you simplify it?
Read the free safety.

729
00:50:06,560 --> 00:50:11,100
Free safety's gonna tell you everything.
What? Someone break one?

730
00:50:11,200 --> 00:50:13,209
Stop him! Stop him!

731
00:50:14,320 --> 00:50:15,681
Get after him!

732
00:50:17,880 --> 00:50:19,161
Jeez!

733
00:50:20,240 --> 00:50:23,860
Bellevue's Taylor King
breaks a 76-yard touchdown.

734
00:50:23,960 --> 00:50:26,740
This Bellevue team is not
afraid of De La Salle.

735
00:50:26,840 --> 00:50:29,566
We may just have a game here.

736
00:50:41,000 --> 00:50:44,204
And yet another completion.
First down, Bellevue.

737
00:50:45,520 --> 00:50:47,449
They're playing exactly like us.

738
00:50:48,240 --> 00:50:51,489
This Wolverine passing attack
is shredding De La Salle.

739
00:50:51,880 --> 00:50:54,180
It's a three-deep and you got beat?

740
00:50:54,280 --> 00:50:57,820
Your responsibility is the quarterback
when they run the option.

741
00:50:57,920 --> 00:51:01,010
Right? We practiced all
of this, come on, now!

742
00:51:04,200 --> 00:51:06,580
You have to break down
to make that stop.

743
00:51:06,680 --> 00:51:09,167
Don't get caught flat-footed.

744
00:51:13,880 --> 00:51:15,525
No, no, no!

745
00:51:15,760 --> 00:51:18,740
Stop him! Stop him!

746
00:51:18,840 --> 00:51:20,260
Oh, God!

747
00:51:20,360 --> 00:51:22,300
Here's something nobody expected.

748
00:51:22,400 --> 00:51:26,491
The Wolverines are controlling the line
of scrimmage against De La Salle.

749
00:51:30,080 --> 00:51:33,045
They're beating us off
the ball on every snap.

750
00:51:33,640 --> 00:51:36,820
- Down.
- Blue 22! Blue 22!

751
00:51:36,920 --> 00:51:38,140
Set.

752
00:51:38,240 --> 00:51:39,940
Go left! Go left!

753
00:51:40,040 --> 00:51:41,480
Hut!

754
00:51:47,400 --> 00:51:50,900
Bellevue scores to give the
Washington State champions...

755
00:51:51,000 --> 00:51:54,966
a 28-to-7 lead over
powerhouse De La Salle.

756
00:51:56,480 --> 00:51:58,284
We're gonna lose.

757
00:52:03,320 --> 00:52:08,082
Hit Danny on a 12-yard curl in the seam
between the linebacker and the safety.

758
00:52:11,440 --> 00:52:13,802
Down, set, hut!

759
00:52:19,960 --> 00:52:23,780
Danny Ladouceur drops a pass.
His dad will not be happy about that.

760
00:52:23,880 --> 00:52:25,900
Gotta get it to the players.

761
00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:28,328
He's gotta catch it, Bev.

762
00:52:28,600 --> 00:52:31,451
Ready. Set, hut!

763
00:52:35,240 --> 00:52:37,500
Ladouceur's hit and
coughs up the ball!

764
00:52:37,600 --> 00:52:39,609
Gotta hold on to that ball, Danny!

765
00:52:39,960 --> 00:52:42,925
Bellevue recovers. Bellevue recovers.

766
00:53:07,520 --> 00:53:12,328
- I don't care how good you think you are!
- I'm the best receiver on this team.

767
00:53:12,960 --> 00:53:17,006
I ran my route, they attacked, man.
Ran the ball right by you.

768
00:53:20,200 --> 00:53:22,900
- Come on! Let's go, let's go!
- Eight, seven...

769
00:53:23,000 --> 00:53:25,500
six, five, four...

770
00:53:25,600 --> 00:53:28,565
- Down, set, hut!
- ...three, two, one.

771
00:53:29,280 --> 00:53:32,460
And that's it. The streak
is over! The streak is over!

772
00:53:32,560 --> 00:53:36,660
The longest winning streak
in sports history is now over...

773
00:53:36,760 --> 00:53:40,540
as the Bellevue Wolverines have
shocked the De La Salle Spartans...

774
00:53:40,640 --> 00:53:45,846
in perhaps the biggest upset
in high-school football history.

775
00:54:31,240 --> 00:54:33,807
Are you okay? It's okay.

776
00:54:50,040 --> 00:54:53,005
Hey, hey! We don't do that here.

777
00:54:53,480 --> 00:54:55,523
We don't do that.

778
00:54:59,200 --> 00:55:02,620
Reporters, friends,
family, strangers.

779
00:55:02,720 --> 00:55:04,860
They're all gonna ask the same thing:

780
00:55:04,960 --> 00:55:06,620
"What happened?"

781
00:55:06,720 --> 00:55:09,140
This is a question
that's gonna follow you.

782
00:55:09,240 --> 00:55:11,420
"How did you lose the streak?"

783
00:55:11,520 --> 00:55:15,140
And every time,
you're gonna answer the truth:

784
00:55:15,240 --> 00:55:19,331
"Bellevue played better than us and
we lost a high-school football game."

785
00:55:19,600 --> 00:55:21,689
That's football.

786
00:55:22,080 --> 00:55:24,248
But it's not you.

787
00:55:25,520 --> 00:55:28,540
Don't let a game define who you are.

788
00:55:28,640 --> 00:55:31,889
Let the way you live
your lives do that.

789
00:55:35,960 --> 00:55:37,571
Coach.

790
00:55:40,800 --> 00:55:44,660
I truly believe that life's
most impressionable lessons...

791
00:55:44,760 --> 00:55:47,420
are ones where something
bad happens to you...

792
00:55:47,520 --> 00:55:50,644
or something challenging
confronts you.

793
00:55:51,680 --> 00:55:56,169
No one can climb into your head and hear
what that little voice is saying to you.

794
00:55:56,680 --> 00:56:00,168
Is it saying, "Oh, no,
we lost the streak"?

795
00:56:00,640 --> 00:56:02,285
Well, what's it gonna say?

796
00:56:02,800 --> 00:56:06,846
After today, you're gonna find
out a lot about yourselves.

797
00:56:07,320 --> 00:56:11,491
And you know something, we're all gonna
find out what this team is made of.

798
00:56:19,960 --> 00:56:24,051
The effort you put in during the
off-season was commendable.

799
00:56:26,680 --> 00:56:29,406
But it has not translated
onto the field.

800
00:56:32,880 --> 00:56:35,260
You've got to decide
what you wanna be.

801
00:56:35,360 --> 00:56:40,300
I get the feeling from you as a team that
you just wanna hop on that throne...

802
00:56:40,400 --> 00:56:43,140
and place the championship
ring on your finger.

803
00:56:43,240 --> 00:56:45,727
That you're at De La Salle
and deserve that.

804
00:56:46,040 --> 00:56:49,540
For the most part we're inconsistent,
mistake-prone, ragged...

805
00:56:49,640 --> 00:56:52,161
and not very physical.

806
00:56:52,960 --> 00:56:54,740
That's where we are.

807
00:56:54,840 --> 00:56:57,940
As much as you don't wanna hear it,
that's my assessment.

808
00:56:58,040 --> 00:57:01,860
Do I feel like you can pull this off
and earn the right to that throne?

809
00:57:01,960 --> 00:57:04,060
- Yeah, I do.
- Attaboy, attaboy.

810
00:57:04,160 --> 00:57:07,260
I'm not hoping you play well
against Clayton Valley.

811
00:57:07,360 --> 00:57:10,700
You have to.
You have to play well this week.

812
00:57:10,800 --> 00:57:14,980
Even if you step it up and play
at your ability level, it still won't be easy.

813
00:57:15,080 --> 00:57:18,363
You're gonna have to fight
for victories in those games.

814
00:57:19,440 --> 00:57:21,688
All right, that's it, that's it!

815
00:57:23,280 --> 00:57:27,220
Oh, he's got a seam! Go, go, go!

816
00:57:27,320 --> 00:57:29,124
- Nice work.
- Oh, for...!

817
00:57:31,960 --> 00:57:35,140
Despite a well-played game,
De La Salle comes up short...

818
00:57:35,240 --> 00:57:38,660
and after two games,
is still winless in this young season.

819
00:57:38,760 --> 00:57:43,140
Bob Ladouceur's gonna have to figure
something out to get this team on track...

820
00:57:43,240 --> 00:57:46,171
if they plan on making it
to the playoffs this year.

821
00:57:53,800 --> 00:57:55,380
Pick up your heads.

822
00:57:55,480 --> 00:57:57,780
Meet me at the locker room tomorrow.

823
00:57:57,880 --> 00:57:59,605
Eight a.m.

824
00:58:12,200 --> 00:58:13,686
What's up, Alex?

825
00:58:16,040 --> 00:58:19,323
- Miss you. I'm all sweaty.
- It's okay. It was a tough game.

826
00:58:20,440 --> 00:58:22,620
Party is tomorrow, if you wanna go.

827
00:58:22,720 --> 00:58:24,900
Maybe. I don't know. If you do.

828
00:58:25,000 --> 00:58:27,140
- Are you kidding me?
- Dad, please.

829
00:58:27,240 --> 00:58:30,100
You let some punk pull you
down at the two-yard line.

830
00:58:30,200 --> 00:58:33,180
- I scored three touchdowns.
- How many did you promise?

831
00:58:33,280 --> 00:58:35,420
- Mr. Ryan, please.
- Laurie, stop.

832
00:58:35,520 --> 00:58:38,140
Forty-one blast. Run it, now.

833
00:58:38,240 --> 00:58:41,140
- Dad, it's midnight. I'm tired.
- So am I.

834
00:58:41,240 --> 00:58:45,126
- Forty-one blast. Run it, now.
- You run it.

835
00:58:47,720 --> 00:58:49,620
You listen close.

836
00:58:49,720 --> 00:58:52,060
I want that record.

837
00:58:52,160 --> 00:58:54,780
He's not gonna get it for
you with a busted rib.

838
00:58:54,880 --> 00:58:56,161
Now let him go.

839
00:58:57,160 --> 00:59:01,260
Hey, coach. Let's you and me
huddle up for a second, okay?

840
00:59:01,360 --> 00:59:04,689
I don't usually huddle
up with parents, Mick.

841
00:59:29,440 --> 00:59:31,980
You think this is
gonna freak them out?

842
00:59:32,080 --> 00:59:34,521
I certainly hope so.

843
01:00:07,480 --> 01:00:09,409
- Good morning, Carol.
- Hi, Bob.

844
01:00:10,720 --> 01:00:15,164
Nurse Ballard is a friend of mine.
She's in charge of the entire nursing staff.

845
01:00:15,360 --> 01:00:18,180
Today, we will be
following her orders.

846
01:00:18,280 --> 01:00:21,940
Coach Lad and I worked at the Juvenile
Detention Center in Richmond.

847
01:00:22,040 --> 01:00:24,700
It was a little longer ago
than I'd rather admit.

848
01:00:24,800 --> 01:00:28,004
So you guys play a tough game.
Anybody ever been injured?

849
01:00:33,400 --> 01:00:35,682
You've never been injured?

850
01:00:36,160 --> 01:00:39,921
It's part of the game. You don't
think about it, you bounce back.

851
01:00:40,360 --> 01:00:42,340
You're very brave.

852
01:00:42,440 --> 01:00:44,060
This is not that.

853
01:00:44,160 --> 01:00:49,300
Here, nobody bounces. Break into three
groups. When you hear your name...

854
01:00:49,400 --> 01:00:53,810
follow the nurse who called it to
the appropriate unit. Let's go.

855
01:00:54,680 --> 01:00:59,124
Nurse Adams is in charge of the Recovery
Ward, and she will take over from here.

856
01:00:59,560 --> 01:01:02,860
Good afternoon, gentlemen.
Welcome to the VA Recovery Ward.

857
01:01:02,960 --> 01:01:05,208
So here we specialize
in transplants...

858
01:01:05,400 --> 01:01:09,380
amputations and general
rehabilitation for limb recovery.

859
01:01:09,480 --> 01:01:14,641
Our focus here is on full
recovery, body and spirit.

860
01:01:14,800 --> 01:01:17,860
If this is too hard for
anybody, don't come in.

861
01:01:17,960 --> 01:01:19,889
Why would it be?

862
01:01:22,880 --> 01:01:25,380
All our patients are
here for rehabilitation.

863
01:01:25,480 --> 01:01:30,260
Our job is to help them recover from
injuries received during combat.

864
01:01:30,360 --> 01:01:35,460
It's long and difficult, but we're dedicated
to getting them back to functioning lives.

865
01:01:35,560 --> 01:01:37,842
- Hey, May.
- Hey.

866
01:01:45,560 --> 01:01:46,900
Hello?

867
01:01:47,000 --> 01:01:48,420
I'll be right there.

868
01:01:48,520 --> 01:01:51,371
Hey, would you do me a favor?
Would you finish up?

869
01:01:53,200 --> 01:01:55,050
Thanks.

870
01:02:14,520 --> 01:02:16,324
What are you looking at?

871
01:02:16,560 --> 01:02:18,620
Oh, no, no, I just...

872
01:02:18,720 --> 01:02:20,380
- You just what?
- Nothing.

873
01:02:20,480 --> 01:02:22,100
What's the matter, boy?

874
01:02:22,200 --> 01:02:24,420
Get on. Pace me.

875
01:02:24,520 --> 01:02:26,820
- What?
- You do speak English, right?

876
01:02:26,920 --> 01:02:28,360
Get on, pace me.

877
01:02:44,920 --> 01:02:47,964
What? What did I do? Did I hurt you?

878
01:02:49,200 --> 01:02:51,420
No, I'm just messing with you, man.

879
01:02:51,520 --> 01:02:53,802
I can't feel anything.

880
01:02:57,160 --> 01:02:58,860
Man, I...

881
01:02:58,960 --> 01:03:02,340
Sometimes my legs hurt so bad,
I'd wish I didn't feel anything.

882
01:03:02,440 --> 01:03:05,610
No, you don't.

883
01:03:07,360 --> 01:03:11,087
No, I don't.

884
01:03:16,720 --> 01:03:20,740
- What's wrong with you, boy? You blind?
- My bad, man. I didn't see you.

885
01:03:20,840 --> 01:03:25,020
No, man. I swear I didn't even see you.
Hey, what the...? Hey! Hey, man!

886
01:03:25,120 --> 01:03:27,740
Is that...? Was that pee?

887
01:03:27,840 --> 01:03:29,780
Well, it sure ain't no Gatorade.

888
01:03:29,880 --> 01:03:31,100
Heck, no!

889
01:03:31,200 --> 01:03:32,580
Hey, nurse!

890
01:03:32,680 --> 01:03:34,166
Come on, man!

891
01:03:38,840 --> 01:03:41,566
Come on, Danny.
You gotta speed this up.

892
01:03:42,480 --> 01:03:44,540
All right. Let him catch up, though.

893
01:03:44,640 --> 01:03:47,810
Oh, great. You're a real gentleman.

894
01:03:49,160 --> 01:03:50,660
On, baby.

895
01:03:50,760 --> 01:03:53,566
Stop. Salinas. Quit it.

896
01:03:54,440 --> 01:03:57,450
- Salinas, enough.
- I don't know if it is fast enough.

897
01:03:57,800 --> 01:03:59,525
Show me what you got.

898
01:04:00,200 --> 01:04:03,131
Let's go, Danny.
Show him what you got.

899
01:04:03,440 --> 01:04:07,326
One night we get overrun.
I just curled up, waiting to die.

900
01:04:08,320 --> 01:04:11,524
Till somebody dragged me
into this deserted mosque.

901
01:04:11,880 --> 01:04:17,246
I look at the guy who just saved my butt.
He's just some hillbilly kid from Arkansas.

902
01:04:17,920 --> 01:04:19,700
Hey, at least you got out.

903
01:04:19,800 --> 01:04:23,243
If they could put me back together,
I'd go back today.

904
01:04:23,640 --> 01:04:24,820
For what?

905
01:04:24,920 --> 01:04:28,340
My unit. Listen, half of
them are still over there.

906
01:04:28,440 --> 01:04:30,100
That don't make no sense.

907
01:04:30,200 --> 01:04:34,166
It's simple. Over there,
who you are in the world don't matter.

908
01:04:35,040 --> 01:04:37,561
Fighting for your
country don't matter.

909
01:04:38,560 --> 01:04:39,841
What does?

910
01:04:40,640 --> 01:04:42,540
The guy next to you.

911
01:04:42,640 --> 01:04:44,763
It's a brotherhood.

912
01:04:45,760 --> 01:04:47,962
Let's go, boys.
You're running. Come on.

913
01:04:48,160 --> 01:04:51,011
Come on, Danny.
Spartans for life, baby.

914
01:04:51,160 --> 01:04:53,124
Live together. Die together.

915
01:04:53,320 --> 01:04:55,940
Pick it up. Pick it up. Pick it up.

916
01:04:56,040 --> 01:04:57,460
You wanna go faster?

917
01:04:57,560 --> 01:04:58,966
Let's go faster.

918
01:05:04,000 --> 01:05:06,726
Don't let us down, baby. Come on.

919
01:05:06,920 --> 01:05:11,260
Let's go, baby. Come on, Danny. You
got this, dog. Don't stop, baby. Come on.

920
01:05:11,360 --> 01:05:13,380
Do not stop on me. Do not stop.

921
01:05:13,480 --> 01:05:15,728
You're a Spartan. Don't stop, Danny.

922
01:05:19,000 --> 01:05:20,660
I can't. I can't.

923
01:05:20,760 --> 01:05:24,203
- What?
- He's gonna go forever.

924
01:05:29,600 --> 01:05:31,370
No.

925
01:05:31,520 --> 01:05:33,848
Not forever, Danny.

926
01:05:34,360 --> 01:05:36,369
Just a little more than you.

927
01:06:02,560 --> 01:06:03,807
Long Beach Poly.

928
01:06:04,040 --> 01:06:07,820
By every measure, the best high-school
football team in the nation.

929
01:06:07,920 --> 01:06:11,761
Offensive line,
average over 300 pounds.

930
01:06:12,960 --> 01:06:16,180
Their starters. Beaser.

931
01:06:16,280 --> 01:06:18,209
Meet Buster Matthews.

932
01:06:18,520 --> 01:06:21,300
Three hundred and thirty
pounds of pure aggression.

933
01:06:21,400 --> 01:06:24,740
Poly runs 60 percent of
their plays behind him.

934
01:06:24,840 --> 01:06:27,805
And you're gonna face
him the whole game.

935
01:06:28,760 --> 01:06:30,849
But we have speed, right?

936
01:06:31,080 --> 01:06:34,284
Their number-one wideout
clocks a 4.4 40.

937
01:06:34,640 --> 01:06:38,083
I don't think we have
anyone that fast.

938
01:06:38,400 --> 01:06:41,340
Their key player?
Strong safety Darnell Bing.

939
01:06:41,440 --> 01:06:45,167
Just committed to SC and plays
like he's been there three years.

940
01:06:45,280 --> 01:06:49,060
Tayshon. You're a better
match for this guy's speed.

941
01:06:49,160 --> 01:06:51,806
You're gonna start against Poly.

942
01:06:55,920 --> 01:07:00,170
You're going into the most physically
demanding moment of your life.

943
01:07:02,080 --> 01:07:03,930
Drive, drive, drive!

944
01:07:34,360 --> 01:07:36,324
Let me go again! Let me go again!

945
01:07:45,880 --> 01:07:49,243
Way to go, Beaser! Way to go!
All the way to the line.

946
01:07:56,080 --> 01:07:57,327
One tradition...

947
01:07:58,720 --> 01:08:02,260
that defined this program is the
willingness of our players...

948
01:08:02,360 --> 01:08:05,460
to share their emotions at
the end of these meetings.

949
01:08:05,560 --> 01:08:07,100
This team hasn't done that.

950
01:08:07,200 --> 01:08:11,724
You guys are still carrying around the
stigma of losing the streak. Forget that.

951
01:08:12,520 --> 01:08:14,131
Forget it.

952
01:08:16,320 --> 01:08:17,567
Open up.

953
01:08:18,760 --> 01:08:20,928
Talk to each other.

954
01:08:38,440 --> 01:08:41,180
My brother was captain
of the 2000 team.

955
01:08:41,280 --> 01:08:44,450
In four years,
he never lost one game.

956
01:08:46,480 --> 01:08:50,810
When we blew the streak,
I couldn't look him in the eye.

957
01:08:52,960 --> 01:08:55,083
I'm done with that.

958
01:08:55,600 --> 01:08:58,500
Everything we've been
through was for a reason:

959
01:08:58,600 --> 01:09:00,848
To bring us together.

960
01:09:01,400 --> 01:09:03,568
I love you guys.

961
01:09:04,320 --> 01:09:08,260
I will die on that field
before I let you down.

962
01:09:08,360 --> 01:09:11,325
Collapse. Not die.

963
01:09:12,000 --> 01:09:14,248
It's just a high-school
football game.

964
01:09:18,480 --> 01:09:21,100
I've been on this team four years.

965
01:09:21,200 --> 01:09:24,483
I've never once played in
a varsity football game.

966
01:09:26,040 --> 01:09:28,766
I mean, I'm not good enough.

967
01:09:29,240 --> 01:09:33,525
And that's okay, because the
greatest moments of my life...

968
01:09:33,880 --> 01:09:36,924
were the times I've spent
on this team with you.

969
01:09:37,400 --> 01:09:41,002
I've never been prouder of
anything than being a Spartan.

970
01:09:50,360 --> 01:09:55,407
When we first watched Poly's film,
and I saw Buster Matthews...

971
01:09:56,560 --> 01:09:58,683
I was scared.

972
01:09:59,760 --> 01:10:04,045
Then I remembered something Coach
Lad told us on my first day of practice.

973
01:10:04,800 --> 01:10:07,207
"Face your fears."

974
01:10:07,800 --> 01:10:11,900
That night I pasted Buster's name and
his number on my ceiling above my bed.

975
01:10:12,000 --> 01:10:14,885
And every night since,
no matter how tired I was...

976
01:10:15,240 --> 01:10:16,900
I've been saying:

977
01:10:17,000 --> 01:10:21,444
"Buster Matthews, number 79...

978
01:10:22,040 --> 01:10:26,723
you are mine."

979
01:10:27,560 --> 01:10:29,603
A hundred times every night.

980
01:10:29,760 --> 01:10:32,042
I promise you, guys.

981
01:10:32,760 --> 01:10:36,203
We're not gonna lose because
of Buster Matthews.

982
01:10:47,840 --> 01:10:50,486
My old man is insane.

983
01:10:52,120 --> 01:10:55,563
My mom used to keep him in line,
but he wore her out.

984
01:10:56,640 --> 01:10:59,810
Once I made the team,
I thought it'd be better.

985
01:11:01,880 --> 01:11:04,208
He became an animal.

986
01:11:07,320 --> 01:11:09,488
I hated him.

987
01:11:10,000 --> 01:11:12,340
Funny thing is, what...

988
01:11:12,440 --> 01:11:15,689
What saved me was being on this team.

989
01:11:16,320 --> 01:11:21,890
I used to play as hard as I could because
I thought that would make him happy.

990
01:11:22,600 --> 01:11:24,529
And then I'd be happy.

991
01:11:25,080 --> 01:11:28,602
You guys love me whether I'm
scoring touchdowns or not.

992
01:11:30,880 --> 01:11:35,005
I was missing that,
and you guys gave it to me.

993
01:11:38,000 --> 01:11:41,044
I could never repay you for that.

994
01:11:43,640 --> 01:11:45,842
But come tomorrow...

995
01:11:48,120 --> 01:11:50,561
I don't play for him.

996
01:11:52,640 --> 01:11:54,205
I play for you.

997
01:11:55,320 --> 01:12:00,300
Welcome to Veterans Stadium, home of
the Long Beach Poly Jackrabbits...

998
01:12:00,400 --> 01:12:03,580
where the De La Salle Spartans
of Concord, California...

999
01:12:03,680 --> 01:12:08,780
have traveled to the Southland for
this matchup of powerhouse programs.

1000
01:12:08,880 --> 01:12:12,527
At the end of last season,
these were the top two teams...

1001
01:12:12,880 --> 01:12:17,005
and this was hyped as the game
for the national championship.

1002
01:12:35,480 --> 01:12:37,887
Dude, these guys are giants.

1003
01:12:46,040 --> 01:12:49,140
Poly is riding high on
34 straight victories.

1004
01:12:49,240 --> 01:12:53,020
De La Salle's 151-game-winning
streak ended two weeks ago...

1005
01:12:53,120 --> 01:12:57,300
and the Spartans come into this game
with an abysmal 0 and 2 record.

1006
01:12:57,400 --> 01:13:00,260
This team is struggling and
is nowhere as talented...

1007
01:13:00,360 --> 01:13:02,220
as previous De La Salle teams.

1008
01:13:02,320 --> 01:13:04,820
This is the toughest game
on their schedule...

1009
01:13:04,920 --> 01:13:07,060
and the most pivotal of their season.

1010
01:13:07,160 --> 01:13:08,700
If they can't get a win...

1011
01:13:08,800 --> 01:13:12,971
they will go into league play 0
and 3 and with zero momentum.

1012
01:13:19,480 --> 01:13:20,940
And here we go.

1013
01:13:21,040 --> 01:13:25,564
The first nationally televised
high-school football game is underway.

1014
01:13:25,880 --> 01:13:28,060
Ryan takes the opening kickoff.

1015
01:13:28,160 --> 01:13:33,844
And it's gonna be hot as the temperature
on the field has reached 95 degrees.

1016
01:13:35,440 --> 01:13:40,420
Poly is big and fast. Their offensive and
defensive lines outweigh the Spartans...

1017
01:13:40,520 --> 01:13:42,380
by over 50 pounds per man.

1018
01:13:42,480 --> 01:13:44,205
Set, hut!

1019
01:13:46,720 --> 01:13:49,300
Chris Ryan gets pounded
into the turf.

1020
01:13:49,400 --> 01:13:51,648
That's all you got?

1021
01:13:51,920 --> 01:13:53,246
Set, hut!

1022
01:13:54,120 --> 01:13:59,460
Salinas drops back, and his first pass
of the day goes to Tayshon Lanear.

1023
01:13:59,560 --> 01:14:04,020
- Darnell Bing lays a big lick on him.
- Twenty-two power pass throwback.

1024
01:14:04,120 --> 01:14:07,060
Get leverage on the corner,
occupy the free safety.

1025
01:14:07,160 --> 01:14:09,980
- Chris will be wide open behind you.
- Let's go.

1026
01:14:10,080 --> 01:14:11,486
Hut!

1027
01:14:16,600 --> 01:14:19,485
There he goes! That's it, that's it!

1028
01:14:19,920 --> 01:14:22,043
Go, go, go!

1029
01:14:25,960 --> 01:14:28,620
- Touchdown!
- Chris Ryan somersaults...

1030
01:14:28,720 --> 01:14:31,900
into the end zone,
giving the Spartans a six-point lead.

1031
01:14:32,000 --> 01:14:35,460
Ryan is a force on the field
and has D-1 size and speed.

1032
01:14:35,560 --> 01:14:38,220
That's one, Chris.
I need two more from you.

1033
01:14:38,320 --> 01:14:43,140
Chris. Nice run. Dive in the end zone
one more time and I bench you.

1034
01:14:43,240 --> 01:14:45,260
We're not a celebrating team.

1035
01:14:45,360 --> 01:14:46,500
- Yes, sir.
- Go.

1036
01:14:46,600 --> 01:14:49,380
We knew they were quick.
Now we've seen how quick.

1037
01:14:49,480 --> 01:14:53,446
Settle them down. Let's show them
real speed. Hit Jones on a one. Go.

1038
01:14:53,720 --> 01:14:58,500
Go, red 27, red 27, set!

1039
01:14:58,600 --> 01:15:00,245
Hut!

1040
01:15:01,920 --> 01:15:05,169
Lawrence launches a bomb
to Derrick Jones...

1041
01:15:05,720 --> 01:15:07,763
and he just can't hang on.

1042
01:15:07,960 --> 01:15:09,700
Yeah!

1043
01:15:09,800 --> 01:15:13,860
You know why he dropped that? He ain't
been dragging truck tires all week.

1044
01:15:13,960 --> 01:15:15,500
Yeah!

1045
01:15:15,600 --> 01:15:18,620
Beaser! Only second down.
Keep your head in the game.

1046
01:15:18,720 --> 01:15:23,500
The heat on the field is brutal,
but this Spartan team has come to play.

1047
01:15:23,600 --> 01:15:28,010
They are banging heads with 300-pound
linemen out there and holding their own.

1048
01:15:28,280 --> 01:15:29,820
What they lack in size...

1049
01:15:29,920 --> 01:15:33,806
they make up in quickness off the ball,
determination and toughness.

1050
01:15:35,960 --> 01:15:37,525
Reverse!

1051
01:15:42,880 --> 01:15:45,780
- No! No!
- That's how you play football!

1052
01:15:45,880 --> 01:15:50,165
Poly gets its first score
of the game, tying it at 7.

1053
01:15:52,800 --> 01:15:57,260
On-field temperatures have
soared to 100 degrees.

1054
01:15:57,360 --> 01:16:01,620
On the pre-game show, De La Salle's
assistant coach Terry Eidson said...

1055
01:16:01,720 --> 01:16:04,526
the heat could be a
factor in today's game.

1056
01:16:04,920 --> 01:16:06,100
He wasn't kidding.

1057
01:16:06,200 --> 01:16:08,084
Down.

1058
01:16:09,440 --> 01:16:11,340
Over me! U 52!

1059
01:16:11,440 --> 01:16:13,961
Set, hut!

1060
01:16:19,840 --> 01:16:23,380
Salinas fires a 29-yard
pass to Tayshon Lanear...

1061
01:16:23,480 --> 01:16:26,260
for his first touchdown of the game.

1062
01:16:26,360 --> 01:16:31,361
- Yeah! Yeah!
- De La Salle, back in the lead, 13 to 7.

1063
01:16:33,440 --> 01:16:35,820
With eight minutes
left in the half...

1064
01:16:35,920 --> 01:16:39,420
De La Salle's two-way players
are struggling to get back up.

1065
01:16:39,520 --> 01:16:43,420
And because Poly has a hundred-man
roster, nobody plays both ways.

1066
01:16:43,520 --> 01:16:47,008
This could be a huge
factor in today's game.

1067
01:16:47,960 --> 01:16:50,620
Five-forty down! Fifty-fifty!

1068
01:16:50,720 --> 01:16:54,700
- You know why they call me Buster?
- You're stupid enough to let them?

1069
01:16:54,800 --> 01:16:56,604
Set, hut!

1070
01:17:01,440 --> 01:17:02,900
Nice hit.

1071
01:17:03,000 --> 01:17:05,700
Joe Beaser sheds a block
by big Buster Matthews...

1072
01:17:05,800 --> 01:17:08,480
and makes a huge stop on fourth down.

1073
01:17:14,200 --> 01:17:16,180
Split! Split!

1074
01:17:16,280 --> 01:17:17,970
Doubles!

1075
01:17:19,920 --> 01:17:21,121
Hut!

1076
01:17:27,440 --> 01:17:28,801
Stop him! Come on!

1077
01:17:32,120 --> 01:17:35,540
Tayshon Lanear reels in his
second touchdown of the game...

1078
01:17:35,640 --> 01:17:38,844
putting the Spartans up 21 to 7.

1079
01:17:42,360 --> 01:17:45,420
Lanear has been playing
both ways the first half...

1080
01:17:45,520 --> 01:17:48,820
and is exhausted down
on the De La Salle bench.

1081
01:17:48,920 --> 01:17:51,043
Offense, get in there!

1082
01:17:54,560 --> 01:17:58,651
Big third down here for Poly as
the clock is under a minute to go.

1083
01:18:00,600 --> 01:18:03,371
Did you see that? Did you see that?

1084
01:18:03,920 --> 01:18:05,804
Get off of him, man!

1085
01:18:11,840 --> 01:18:13,940
Come on, guys! Let's go, let's go!

1086
01:18:14,040 --> 01:18:16,860
Fourth down and after that
big play by Chris Ryan...

1087
01:18:16,960 --> 01:18:19,083
Poly is going for a field goal.

1088
01:18:21,600 --> 01:18:24,690
From 34 yards out,
the ball is up and good.

1089
01:18:24,880 --> 01:18:28,641
Poly cuts the De La
Salle Lead to 21-10.

1090
01:18:29,240 --> 01:18:32,020
Eighteen seconds on the clock.
Poly is spread wide.

1091
01:18:32,120 --> 01:18:35,660
- Looks like they're kicking away.
- Onside! Ball, ball!

1092
01:18:35,760 --> 01:18:40,100
No, it's an onside kick. The ball
is on the turf. There's a pileup.

1093
01:18:40,200 --> 01:18:43,060
Officials are diving in, and...

1094
01:18:43,160 --> 01:18:45,580
- We got it! We got it! We got it!
- Our ball.

1095
01:18:45,680 --> 01:18:48,660
- Poly has the ball.
- You have got to be kidding me.

1096
01:18:48,760 --> 01:18:52,340
A perfectly executed onside kick
with 12 seconds left in the half.

1097
01:18:52,440 --> 01:18:54,900
When he lines up,
they're gonna throw to him.

1098
01:18:55,000 --> 01:18:58,900
Well, I can't go out there
and play for them. Pass! Pass!

1099
01:18:59,000 --> 01:19:00,804
Set, hut!

1100
01:19:07,880 --> 01:19:11,100
Lawrence finds his big tight
end as the clock expires...

1101
01:19:11,200 --> 01:19:13,820
in one of the best first
halves you will see.

1102
01:19:13,920 --> 01:19:18,409
Long Beach Poly has pulled within
four points of De La Salle, 21-17.

1103
01:19:19,760 --> 01:19:21,928
You need water?

1104
01:19:22,600 --> 01:19:25,531
Move. Open that window, man.

1105
01:19:26,840 --> 01:19:28,690
Water!

1106
01:19:36,320 --> 01:19:38,363
Where's that ice bucket?

1107
01:19:43,480 --> 01:19:45,569
Here, give me that.

1108
01:19:47,080 --> 01:19:49,248
Give it to him. All right.

1109
01:19:51,960 --> 01:19:55,289
- Take it. Put it on the neck.
- Yeah, yeah. I got it.

1110
01:19:57,000 --> 01:19:59,260
All right. Lay him down.

1111
01:19:59,360 --> 01:20:01,020
On his back here.

1112
01:20:01,120 --> 01:20:03,482
Watch his head, watch his head.

1113
01:20:06,000 --> 01:20:08,521
How are you doing?
All right, take it easy.

1114
01:20:09,440 --> 01:20:11,780
Terry. Our guys are gassed.

1115
01:20:11,880 --> 01:20:15,860
Poly's coming on strong. There's no
way we can start Beaser or Chris...

1116
01:20:15,960 --> 01:20:19,004
or any of our two-way
players in the second half.

1117
01:20:21,040 --> 01:20:23,580
Empty the coolers,
check the concession stands.

1118
01:20:23,680 --> 01:20:26,460
Grab all the ice they have.
You've got two minutes.

1119
01:20:26,560 --> 01:20:28,060
- Right.
- I need your help.

1120
01:20:28,160 --> 01:20:29,980
There is no a.c. in here.

1121
01:20:30,080 --> 01:20:32,420
Assess the kids' physical condition.

1122
01:20:32,520 --> 01:20:35,900
Determine if they can play.
You're gonna handle substitutions.

1123
01:20:36,000 --> 01:20:39,020
- Okay, coach.
- Rotate in the second-stringers.

1124
01:20:39,120 --> 01:20:42,220
I don't want any kid on that
field that's not fit to play.

1125
01:20:42,320 --> 01:20:44,807
I don't care if it costs us the game.

1126
01:20:50,160 --> 01:20:54,260
The Spartans are literally
dragging themselves back...

1127
01:20:54,360 --> 01:20:57,020
on what has become a
100-yard blast furnace...

1128
01:20:57,120 --> 01:21:01,325
as the heat continues to be
a major factor in this game.

1129
01:21:03,120 --> 01:21:04,900
Hey, Poly.

1130
01:21:05,000 --> 01:21:08,380
Anybody so much as waves at
your moms, you're on suspension.

1131
01:21:08,480 --> 01:21:11,900
There is nothing to celebrate, yet.

1132
01:21:12,000 --> 01:21:14,140
Finish these guys. They're fading.

1133
01:21:14,240 --> 01:21:15,660
- Long Beach!
- Poly!

1134
01:21:15,760 --> 01:21:17,020
- Long Beach!
- Poly!

1135
01:21:17,120 --> 01:21:19,420
- Long Beach! Long Beach!
- Poly! Poly!

1136
01:21:19,520 --> 01:21:22,460
Sanchez, Antoine, Lance. Come on.

1137
01:21:22,560 --> 01:21:25,660
Coach Bob Ladouceur is buying
some rest for his starters...

1138
01:21:25,760 --> 01:21:28,247
by sending in his second-stringers.

1139
01:21:33,360 --> 01:21:34,607
Down, set, hut!

1140
01:21:41,160 --> 01:21:44,540
- Come on, you guys!
- Here we go, here we go, here we go.

1141
01:21:44,640 --> 01:21:46,660
Hut, hut!

1142
01:21:46,760 --> 01:21:49,900
Poly is pounding on De La
Salle's second string.

1143
01:21:50,000 --> 01:21:52,009
Can somebody please make a tackle?

1144
01:21:55,000 --> 01:21:57,300
- Get in.
- Coming in for De La Salle...

1145
01:21:57,400 --> 01:22:00,660
- ...number 25, Arturo Garcia.
- Right here, right here.

1146
01:22:00,760 --> 01:22:04,980
- You got it, buddy. Come on.
- Here we go, Spartans.

1147
01:22:05,080 --> 01:22:07,203
Set, hut!

1148
01:22:08,840 --> 01:22:13,020
Poly executes a perfect screen
pass for an eight-yard gain.

1149
01:22:13,120 --> 01:22:15,482
- Hey, hey! What was that?
- Oh, man.

1150
01:22:15,800 --> 01:22:19,460
Buster Matthews has crushed
one of the smallest players...

1151
01:22:19,560 --> 01:22:21,220
on the De La Salle team.

1152
01:22:21,320 --> 01:22:26,460
Arturo Garcia is listed
at only 147 pounds.

1153
01:22:26,560 --> 01:22:30,560
That's gonna cost the Jackrabbits
15 yards, making it third and long.

1154
01:22:36,720 --> 01:22:40,900
Oh, man!
Arturo Garcia gets revenge...

1155
01:22:41,000 --> 01:22:45,060
making a huge tackle to keep Poly
from making a critical first down.

1156
01:22:45,160 --> 01:22:46,340
Get up, Arturo.

1157
01:22:46,440 --> 01:22:50,380
Spartans' second string is playing
tough against the bigger Poly team...

1158
01:22:50,480 --> 01:22:53,260
and made them scrape for every yard.

1159
01:22:53,360 --> 01:22:57,420
The question is, how much longer
can Terry Eidson leave these guys in...

1160
01:22:57,520 --> 01:23:00,087
- ...before Poly's offense explodes?
- Great!

1161
01:23:02,360 --> 01:23:04,085
That was amazing. Amazing.

1162
01:23:04,640 --> 01:23:08,128
Poly lines up for a field goal.
High snap.

1163
01:23:10,360 --> 01:23:12,244
The kick is up, and...

1164
01:23:14,400 --> 01:23:17,046
- ...no good.
- Yeah! Let's go!

1165
01:23:17,560 --> 01:23:19,220
See that? That's on you.

1166
01:23:19,320 --> 01:23:22,500
If you don't make that stop,
they don't miss that field goal.

1167
01:23:22,600 --> 01:23:26,361
Poly misses. The score remains 21-17.

1168
01:23:28,160 --> 01:23:32,020
Yo, coach, coach. Yo, take a look
at us, man. We ready to go.

1169
01:23:32,120 --> 01:23:33,900
- Beaser?
- I'm ready.

1170
01:23:34,000 --> 01:23:35,180
- Tayshon?
- I'm ready.

1171
01:23:35,280 --> 01:23:36,820
- Ready?
- Let's do it.

1172
01:23:36,920 --> 01:23:38,884
Bob. They're ready.

1173
01:23:39,280 --> 01:23:41,140
- You sure?
- Absolutely.

1174
01:23:41,240 --> 01:23:44,728
- All right, D, 40 cover two and go.
- Let's go, man. Let's go.

1175
01:23:44,840 --> 01:23:48,169
It looks like the starters are
running back onto the field.

1176
01:23:49,480 --> 01:23:53,500
This is no longer about who the bigger,
faster, stronger players are.

1177
01:23:53,600 --> 01:23:56,087
It's about who plays with more heart.

1178
01:23:57,320 --> 01:23:59,488
- Relax. We're good.
- That's right.

1179
01:24:00,760 --> 01:24:02,530
- Fifty!
- Draw right.

1180
01:24:02,760 --> 01:24:05,327
Set, hut!

1181
01:24:09,200 --> 01:24:11,846
Go, go, go!

1182
01:24:15,400 --> 01:24:17,090
No! No!

1183
01:24:20,880 --> 01:24:22,820
The Jackrabbits have come back...

1184
01:24:22,920 --> 01:24:26,886
and now lead 24-21 over
an exhausted De La Salle.

1185
01:24:29,440 --> 01:24:33,300
Chris is getting blocked by 280-pound
guards while playing linebacker...

1186
01:24:33,400 --> 01:24:37,580
then being tackled by 300-pounders
when he's running the ball.

1187
01:24:37,680 --> 01:24:41,566
- That's how you wrap them up! Good job!
- Get off of him!

1188
01:24:48,400 --> 01:24:52,620
- How are they still on their feet?
- Those linebackers are flying out of there.

1189
01:24:52,720 --> 01:24:53,940
Run the draw. Go.

1190
01:24:54,040 --> 01:24:55,446
Set, hut!

1191
01:24:58,640 --> 01:25:00,968
Come on, Chris! Come on, Chris!

1192
01:25:03,160 --> 01:25:04,940
Yeah! Go!

1193
01:25:05,040 --> 01:25:10,820
Chris Ryan's spectacular run puts
the Spartans back on top, 28-24.

1194
01:25:10,920 --> 01:25:13,900
What do you think?
You can't play with the Beast.

1195
01:25:14,000 --> 01:25:15,860
You can't play with the Beast.

1196
01:25:15,960 --> 01:25:20,460
With two minutes left in what is a
classic high-school football game...

1197
01:25:20,560 --> 01:25:22,285
Hut!

1198
01:25:22,560 --> 01:25:24,340
Shed these blocks!

1199
01:25:24,440 --> 01:25:26,847
These guys are half your size.

1200
01:25:27,080 --> 01:25:31,683
Start playing like the number-one team
in this country before you aren't!

1201
01:25:43,320 --> 01:25:47,100
Derrick Jones makes an
unbelievable fingertip catch...

1202
01:25:47,200 --> 01:25:52,008
at the Spartans' four-yard
line as 15,000 fans go crazy.

1203
01:25:55,320 --> 01:25:58,940
With 1:02 left in the game,
Long Beach Poly has a first down...

1204
01:25:59,040 --> 01:26:01,700
- ...on De La Salle's four-yard line.
- Hold them.

1205
01:26:01,800 --> 01:26:03,340
Blue 32. Blue 37.

1206
01:26:03,440 --> 01:26:05,608
Set, hut!

1207
01:26:12,320 --> 01:26:15,860
Tayshon Lanear with a
monster hit on first down.

1208
01:26:15,960 --> 01:26:18,820
- Textbook!
- This kid has played a terrific game...

1209
01:26:18,920 --> 01:26:22,220
- ...in his first start.
- Double-tight rocket special. Go.

1210
01:26:22,320 --> 01:26:27,140
Looks like Foster is injured on the
play as he limps off the field.

1211
01:26:27,240 --> 01:26:31,206
You're in that corner for Foster.
That ball goes up, come down with it.

1212
01:26:32,040 --> 01:26:33,605
Okay.

1213
01:26:40,440 --> 01:26:44,900
Pulling out all the stops, Lara is sending
in sophomore fullback Jason Knight.

1214
01:26:45,000 --> 01:26:49,524
At 257 pounds, this kid is bigger
than most pro running backs.

1215
01:26:50,040 --> 01:26:51,860
Bang them. Do not let them score.

1216
01:26:51,960 --> 01:26:54,162
Blue 72. Set, hut!

1217
01:26:57,840 --> 01:27:01,249
Pass! Pass! Pass!

1218
01:27:05,160 --> 01:27:06,771
Yes!

1219
01:27:07,840 --> 01:27:09,660
Wow, what a save.

1220
01:27:09,760 --> 01:27:12,220
The tight end was open
in the end zone...

1221
01:27:12,320 --> 01:27:14,900
but Danny Ladouceur
comes out of nowhere...

1222
01:27:15,000 --> 01:27:16,980
- ...to make a huge play.
- All right.

1223
01:27:17,080 --> 01:27:19,140
- Watch the sweep.
- Break for 22.

1224
01:27:19,240 --> 01:27:20,771
Set, hut!

1225
01:27:29,960 --> 01:27:35,620
Spartan linebacker Davis makes another
big stop, but Chris Ryan is down.

1226
01:27:35,720 --> 01:27:38,100
This would be a huge
loss for De La Salle.

1227
01:27:38,200 --> 01:27:40,740
- Let me see. Let me see.
- Get away.

1228
01:27:40,840 --> 01:27:42,780
Get out. Get out, come on.

1229
01:27:42,880 --> 01:27:46,323
Only way I'm going out of
this game is on a stretcher.

1230
01:27:47,920 --> 01:27:50,940
- All right, hold on.
- Fourth and goal, folks.

1231
01:27:51,040 --> 01:27:54,660
This game has come down to one play.

1232
01:27:54,760 --> 01:28:00,500
A critical play, not just for the game,
but for the rest of the Spartans' season.

1233
01:28:00,600 --> 01:28:03,100
Poly lines up in a Power I.

1234
01:28:03,200 --> 01:28:06,324
Green 37. Green 37.

1235
01:28:06,520 --> 01:28:08,449
Down.

1236
01:28:11,640 --> 01:28:14,047
Forty back. Watch out for 2.

1237
01:28:28,520 --> 01:28:30,802
Come on, D. Come on, D.

1238
01:28:50,600 --> 01:28:53,371
Yeah! Yeah!

1239
01:29:00,520 --> 01:29:02,529
Yeah, Spartans! Let's go!

1240
01:29:03,400 --> 01:29:07,580
De La Salle started their season
0 and 2 and lost their win streak...

1241
01:29:07,680 --> 01:29:10,460
but have come back to stun
the football world...

1242
01:29:10,560 --> 01:29:14,140
by knocking off the number-one
rated team in the country.

1243
01:29:14,240 --> 01:29:17,820
Folks, I have played football
and gone home exhausted...

1244
01:29:17,920 --> 01:29:21,380
I have broadcast games
and gone home elated...

1245
01:29:21,480 --> 01:29:25,480
but today, I go home inspired.

1246
01:29:25,760 --> 01:29:28,620
The De La Salle Spartans
have a new lease on life...

1247
01:29:28,720 --> 01:29:31,700
as they go into league games
in Northern California.

1248
01:29:31,800 --> 01:29:35,322
Hey, coach. Coach Ladouceur.
Can I get a comment?

1249
01:29:36,040 --> 01:29:37,730
Danny.

1250
01:29:40,080 --> 01:29:42,220
- Hey.
- Hey, Dad.

1251
01:29:42,320 --> 01:29:44,966
You made a heck of a
play on second down.

1252
01:29:45,240 --> 01:29:47,283
You saved the game.

1253
01:29:49,960 --> 01:29:51,969
Thanks, coach.

1254
01:29:52,120 --> 01:29:54,288
Yeah!

1255
01:30:11,160 --> 01:30:13,140
Fantastic. Everyone looks great.

1256
01:30:13,240 --> 01:30:15,460
Tonight, the feeling is electric.

1257
01:30:15,560 --> 01:30:18,860
The team's rolling up right now,
it couldn't be more exciting.

1258
01:30:18,960 --> 01:30:20,207
This is what these people...

1259
01:30:21,520 --> 01:30:22,700
have been waiting for.

1260
01:30:22,800 --> 01:30:23,940
Tayshon, come on.

1261
01:30:24,040 --> 01:30:26,740
- Beaser, take that sign down.
- Yes, sir.

1262
01:30:26,840 --> 01:30:29,340
Come on, buddy.
Don't be shy, chat with us.

1263
01:30:29,440 --> 01:30:30,740
Hey, man, take it down.

1264
01:30:30,840 --> 01:30:35,170
How does it feel to go from being the
biggest loser to the biggest winner?

1265
01:30:36,280 --> 01:30:37,900
- It's great.
- Great?

1266
01:30:38,000 --> 01:30:41,443
Dude, you are on your
way to a new streak!

1267
01:30:41,640 --> 01:30:43,046
No, no.

1268
01:30:43,640 --> 01:30:46,047
Streak!

1269
01:30:47,000 --> 01:30:50,540
Our goal is to go out and give
the perfect effort on every play.

1270
01:30:50,640 --> 01:30:52,380
Perfect effort? The secret?

1271
01:30:52,480 --> 01:30:55,420
But we a team,
and Chris Ryan is like...

1272
01:30:55,520 --> 01:30:58,700
ls dope, no doubt, but,
look, man, you are a star.

1273
01:30:58,800 --> 01:31:02,100
You're the man who's gonna
lead DLS to the next what?

1274
01:31:02,200 --> 01:31:04,140
- The next what?
- Streak!

1275
01:31:04,240 --> 01:31:06,100
Streak! Streak! Streak!

1276
01:31:06,200 --> 01:31:07,540
Another streak, baby!

1277
01:31:07,640 --> 01:31:10,700
Yes! One hundred and fifty games!

1278
01:31:10,800 --> 01:31:12,700
- Streak! Streak! Streak!
- Let's go.

1279
01:31:12,800 --> 01:31:16,700
Streak! Streak! Streak!

1280
01:31:16,800 --> 01:31:23,087
Streak! Streak! Streak!

1281
01:31:37,720 --> 01:31:38,967
There he goes!

1282
01:31:45,280 --> 01:31:47,420
Growing up is tough.

1283
01:31:47,520 --> 01:31:49,722
It's not easy.

1284
01:31:49,960 --> 01:31:52,322
That's what our program's about.

1285
01:31:52,800 --> 01:31:55,420
It ain't about the football.

1286
01:31:55,520 --> 01:31:58,451
It ain't about scoring
the touchdowns.

1287
01:32:01,400 --> 01:32:03,090
It's about moving you...

1288
01:32:04,360 --> 01:32:09,460
- ...in a direction that can help you grow up.
- And forgive us for our trespasses...

1289
01:32:09,560 --> 01:32:12,140
So when you take your
place out in the world...

1290
01:32:12,240 --> 01:32:16,490
or out in our community,
you can be depended on.

1291
01:32:24,120 --> 01:32:26,049
You guys are rock stars!

1292
01:32:26,600 --> 01:32:28,211
Great game, Chris!

1293
01:32:29,240 --> 01:32:32,808
- Hey, streak 2.0!
- It's a streak, man.

1294
01:32:37,000 --> 01:32:40,020
Faculty housing is also subsidized.

1295
01:32:40,120 --> 01:32:41,580
What's the offer?

1296
01:32:41,680 --> 01:32:44,980
Three hundred fifty thousand.
Three years. Firm.

1297
01:32:45,080 --> 01:32:46,645
Performance bonus. Car.

1298
01:32:47,640 --> 01:32:50,650
Stanford sees you as a
valuable investment.

1299
01:33:17,400 --> 01:33:21,380
Hey, coach. Great game Friday.
Three more touchdowns for the Beast.

1300
01:33:21,480 --> 01:33:23,380
Yeah, he played well.

1301
01:33:23,480 --> 01:33:25,260
- Whole team did.
- Hey, Chris!

1302
01:33:25,360 --> 01:33:26,740
Over here! Hi!

1303
01:33:26,840 --> 01:33:28,180
What's up?

1304
01:33:28,280 --> 01:33:30,580
Get ready to break
that scoring record.

1305
01:33:30,680 --> 01:33:33,340
Got a place for the
trophy all picked out.

1306
01:33:33,440 --> 01:33:35,100
- Hey, Mickey?
- Yeah?

1307
01:33:35,200 --> 01:33:39,121
Did Chris show you the thesis he
wrote for my class on Matthew 23:12?

1308
01:33:39,320 --> 01:33:42,020
Amazingly insightful
for someone his age.

1309
01:33:42,120 --> 01:33:45,688
Really terrific. You should read it.

1310
01:33:48,640 --> 01:33:51,340
Matthew 23:12? Seriously?

1311
01:33:51,440 --> 01:33:53,460
What's he talking about?

1312
01:33:53,560 --> 01:33:56,740
We're on our way to
a championship, a state record.

1313
01:33:56,840 --> 01:33:59,300
Those who exalt themselves
will be humbled...

1314
01:33:59,400 --> 01:34:01,940
those who humble themselves
will be exalted.

1315
01:34:02,040 --> 01:34:03,300
- Exalted?
- Yeah.

1316
01:34:03,400 --> 01:34:07,810
You get 37 touchdowns in the
season, then you'll be exalted.

1317
01:34:12,400 --> 01:34:16,700
Do you realize what winning this record
is gonna mean for you? For your life?

1318
01:34:16,800 --> 01:34:20,100
Do you have any idea how
people are gonna look at you?

1319
01:34:20,200 --> 01:34:22,528
How they're gonna respect you?

1320
01:34:22,920 --> 01:34:25,380
Breaking this record,
you'll have something...

1321
01:34:25,480 --> 01:34:29,446
that nobody can ever
take from you. Nobody.

1322
01:34:29,600 --> 01:34:33,441
That's why I push you so hard.
It's not about me, it's about you.

1323
01:34:37,000 --> 01:34:39,441
You're a salesman, Dad.

1324
01:34:40,920 --> 01:34:42,167
I'm a what?

1325
01:34:43,040 --> 01:34:45,242
You sell cars.

1326
01:34:45,440 --> 01:34:47,688
Don't try and sell me.

1327
01:34:47,880 --> 01:34:49,820
This is for you.

1328
01:34:49,920 --> 01:34:53,180
I'm just another one of your
trophies you keep in your case.

1329
01:34:53,280 --> 01:34:57,580
Like all the medals you've been collecting
to show everybody when they walk in.

1330
01:34:57,680 --> 01:34:59,180
I am sick of it.

1331
01:34:59,280 --> 01:35:02,300
What are you trying to say?
You don't want this record?

1332
01:35:02,400 --> 01:35:05,260
What do you care?
It's always about what you want!

1333
01:35:05,360 --> 01:35:08,300
You little punk.
Don't you ever talk to me like that!

1334
01:35:08,400 --> 01:35:11,380
While you live in my house,
you will do as I say...

1335
01:35:11,480 --> 01:35:15,580
and you will show me the respect
I deserve! You understand me?

1336
01:35:15,680 --> 01:35:18,180
Now you tell me with
that mouth of yours...

1337
01:35:18,280 --> 01:35:22,121
you promise me that you'll go
out and get me that record.

1338
01:35:22,320 --> 01:35:24,648
Promise me, Chris.

1339
01:35:25,000 --> 01:35:26,180
Okay.

1340
01:35:26,280 --> 01:35:29,900
No, Chris. I wanna hear
you say it. Say it!

1341
01:35:30,000 --> 01:35:32,260
I promise I'll get you
that record, Dad!

1342
01:35:32,360 --> 01:35:34,403
Attaboy.

1343
01:35:41,640 --> 01:35:46,020
And in local sports, we toss it to Jim,
who's standing by at De La Salle high.

1344
01:35:46,120 --> 01:35:50,060
De La Salle Spartans pulled off one
of the greatest comebacks in sports.

1345
01:35:50,160 --> 01:35:51,860
After a devastating opening...

1346
01:35:51,960 --> 01:35:54,660
they're poised to compete
for their 13th championship.

1347
01:35:54,760 --> 01:35:57,260
Dad, look. It's about
the championship game.

1348
01:35:57,360 --> 01:36:01,620
All around me and very excited are
the new generation of Spartans.

1349
01:36:01,720 --> 01:36:04,820
- What grade are you guys in?
- Sophomores, play on the JV.

1350
01:36:04,920 --> 01:36:08,340
You're riding a nine-game streak.
What do you think about that?

1351
01:36:08,440 --> 01:36:11,660
If we go undefeated in our junior-
and senior-year season...

1352
01:36:11,760 --> 01:36:14,740
we're gonna push this streak
to 33 games in a row.

1353
01:36:14,840 --> 01:36:16,580
Thirty-three, 33, 33!

1354
01:36:16,680 --> 01:36:18,940
Thirty-three games in a row.

1355
01:36:19,040 --> 01:36:21,540
- Thirty-three, 33, 33!
- Back to you.

1356
01:36:21,640 --> 01:36:24,081
Thirty-three, 33, 33!

1357
01:36:29,840 --> 01:36:31,530
Bob?

1358
01:36:46,640 --> 01:36:48,729
Hey, you.

1359
01:36:51,920 --> 01:36:54,361
Yeah, I couldn't sleep.

1360
01:36:58,560 --> 01:37:02,367
Are you seriously considering that?

1361
01:37:02,680 --> 01:37:05,180
You know, when we started
this 25 years ago...

1362
01:37:05,280 --> 01:37:07,460
there was no Internet.

1363
01:37:07,560 --> 01:37:09,540
No high-school football on TV.

1364
01:37:09,640 --> 01:37:12,660
Not every kid alive was a celebrity.

1365
01:37:12,760 --> 01:37:14,962
It's all changed now.

1366
01:37:16,640 --> 01:37:19,605
Maybe the kids have changed too.

1367
01:37:21,640 --> 01:37:24,923
All the things I've
taught and believed in.

1368
01:37:26,960 --> 01:37:30,482
I don't know if I'm still
doing much good here.

1369
01:37:34,360 --> 01:37:36,961
I better get some sleep.

1370
01:38:56,200 --> 01:38:57,700
Is this mine?

1371
01:38:57,800 --> 01:39:00,810
Who else's would it be?
Of course it's yours.

1372
01:39:01,360 --> 01:39:02,940
How do I look?

1373
01:39:03,040 --> 01:39:06,005
- Real cool, man. Real cool.
- Thank you.

1374
01:39:07,200 --> 01:39:10,500
- Oh, my gosh. Okay, I'm dying, I'm dying.
- Thank you again.

1375
01:39:10,600 --> 01:39:13,020
Get dressed. Let's go to the game.

1376
01:39:13,120 --> 01:39:15,500
De La Salle staged a
miraculous comeback...

1377
01:39:15,600 --> 01:39:19,220
for an unprecedented 13th shot
at the sectional championship.

1378
01:39:19,320 --> 01:39:23,060
On the line for running back Chris
Ryan is a personal quest...

1379
01:39:23,160 --> 01:39:27,490
as he takes the field only three
touchdowns away from breaking a record.

1380
01:39:29,240 --> 01:39:32,620
Let us begin.
Our father, who art in heaven...

1381
01:39:32,720 --> 01:39:34,180
hallowed be thy name.

1382
01:39:34,280 --> 01:39:37,980
Thy kingdom come. Thy will be
done on earth as it is in heaven.

1383
01:39:38,080 --> 01:39:41,700
Give us this day our daily bread
and forgive us our trespasses...

1384
01:39:41,800 --> 01:39:44,380
as we forgive those who
trespass against us.

1385
01:39:44,480 --> 01:39:48,060
Lead us not to temptation,
but deliver us from evil. Amen.

1386
01:39:48,160 --> 01:39:49,900
- One, two, three.
- Spartans!

1387
01:39:50,000 --> 01:39:53,420
This season is ending with De
La Salle in a familiar place:

1388
01:39:53,520 --> 01:39:57,042
Competing for their 13th North
Coast section championship.

1389
01:40:02,520 --> 01:40:04,780
Danny Ladouceur is
slammed to the turf...

1390
01:40:04,880 --> 01:40:07,780
but somehow holds on for
a De La Salle first down.

1391
01:40:07,880 --> 01:40:11,060
- Yeah, Danny boy!
- Huddle up. Get it to Chris. Let's go.

1392
01:40:11,160 --> 01:40:13,500
De La Salle is a favorite
to win this game.

1393
01:40:13,600 --> 01:40:18,522
And most eyes are on Chris Ryan's
quest for a touchdown scoring record.

1394
01:40:25,640 --> 01:40:26,940
Yeah!

1395
01:40:27,040 --> 01:40:29,180
Yeah, that's it!
That's it! Way to go.

1396
01:40:29,280 --> 01:40:33,260
One down, two to go for the record.
Two more touchdowns for the record.

1397
01:40:33,360 --> 01:40:36,540
Chris Ryan's historic run at
the state touchdown record...

1398
01:40:36,640 --> 01:40:42,085
continues with another touchdown
as De La Salle takes a 7-0 lead.

1399
01:40:45,400 --> 01:40:47,125
Pick him up!

1400
01:40:50,360 --> 01:40:51,891
No!

1401
01:40:52,600 --> 01:40:54,060
Why didn't you tackle him?

1402
01:40:54,160 --> 01:40:56,260
It is a contact sport.

1403
01:40:56,360 --> 01:40:58,660
You can hit someone.
It's encouraged even.

1404
01:40:58,760 --> 01:40:59,900
Yes!

1405
01:41:00,000 --> 01:41:02,580
With just a little over
five minutes left...

1406
01:41:02,680 --> 01:41:07,442
in the second quarter in this hard-fought
championship, the score is tied, 7-7.

1407
01:41:07,760 --> 01:41:10,460
Beaser, you need to
keep him contained!

1408
01:41:10,560 --> 01:41:13,286
Hut, blue one, hut!

1409
01:41:13,520 --> 01:41:15,449
Reverse! Reverse!

1410
01:41:20,200 --> 01:41:22,687
- Contain the runner!
- Contain the runner!

1411
01:41:23,000 --> 01:41:27,020
Amador Valley dips into its bag
of tricks, but Joe Beaser isn't fooled.

1412
01:41:27,120 --> 01:41:29,926
The senior defensive end
played that perfectly.

1413
01:41:31,360 --> 01:41:34,700
De La Salle is up 14-7 here
in the fourth quarter.

1414
01:41:34,800 --> 01:41:37,860
The Spartans have the ball
on the Dons' 35-yard line.

1415
01:41:37,960 --> 01:41:42,802
Chris Ryan is one touchdown away
from tying the state record.

1416
01:41:45,360 --> 01:41:46,846
Danny.

1417
01:41:47,040 --> 01:41:48,730
Coach.

1418
01:41:49,480 --> 01:41:51,060
Watch the defensive back.

1419
01:41:51,160 --> 01:41:54,380
He leans inside a lot.
When he does, beat him to the corner.

1420
01:41:54,480 --> 01:41:57,620
Give him a hard fake on your
first move. Finish strong.

1421
01:41:57,720 --> 01:41:59,490
Corner.

1422
01:42:00,600 --> 01:42:03,246
Thirty-four, 34. Give it to 34.

1423
01:42:05,160 --> 01:42:08,020
Chris, Chris, Chris!

1424
01:42:08,120 --> 01:42:10,971
Down. Set, hut!

1425
01:42:25,000 --> 01:42:27,100
- Yeah!
- Chris Ryan won't be denied.

1426
01:42:27,200 --> 01:42:30,780
He scores again to give De La Salle
a two-touchdown advantage.

1427
01:42:30,880 --> 01:42:34,660
He is now just one touchdown away
from breaking the state record.

1428
01:42:34,760 --> 01:42:36,291
One more for the record.

1429
01:42:39,000 --> 01:42:40,440
Set, hut!

1430
01:42:44,880 --> 01:42:46,525
Salinas.

1431
01:42:48,200 --> 01:42:50,460
This is your final
drive as a Spartan.

1432
01:42:50,560 --> 01:42:51,780
Coach?

1433
01:42:51,880 --> 01:42:54,660
It's yours. You call the plays.

1434
01:42:54,760 --> 01:42:58,580
Chris, Chris, Chris!

1435
01:42:58,680 --> 01:43:02,260
Strong right, 16 midline
on one. Ready?

1436
01:43:02,360 --> 01:43:06,940
Chris, Chris, Chris!

1437
01:43:07,040 --> 01:43:09,846
Down. Set, hut!

1438
01:43:12,760 --> 01:43:14,689
Go, come on!

1439
01:43:16,120 --> 01:43:19,483
Come on, block for him!
Give him some help, will you?

1440
01:43:24,920 --> 01:43:26,690
Come on!

1441
01:43:29,720 --> 01:43:33,402
One more for the record.
Give it to the Beast. Give it to Chris.

1442
01:43:38,760 --> 01:43:40,246
Down.

1443
01:43:44,280 --> 01:43:45,925
Set, hut!

1444
01:43:56,840 --> 01:43:58,690
Booyah, baby!

1445
01:44:00,160 --> 01:44:02,860
Hey, good catch, dog.

1446
01:44:02,960 --> 01:44:06,820
Come on, come on. There's still time.
Still time. Let's get it to Chris.

1447
01:44:06,920 --> 01:44:10,740
Chris, Chris, Chris!

1448
01:44:10,840 --> 01:44:13,008
Break that record, son. Let's go.

1449
01:44:13,440 --> 01:44:16,530
Here we go, baby,
41 blast into the record books.

1450
01:44:18,040 --> 01:44:19,380
Here we go.

1451
01:44:19,480 --> 01:44:22,445
It's the last play of the game, dog.
Make me proud.

1452
01:44:31,840 --> 01:44:33,724
Time out.

1453
01:44:36,960 --> 01:44:41,449
- What are they doing?
- I don't know. It's their drive.

1454
01:44:42,240 --> 01:44:45,180
- What are you doing?
- Coach Lad's doing this for me.

1455
01:44:45,280 --> 01:44:48,290
- He won't say...
- Dude, what are you talking about?

1456
01:44:48,520 --> 01:44:53,020
I just... I don't want my last play
as a Spartan to be about me.

1457
01:44:53,120 --> 01:44:56,085
Why not? You trained to
get here, you deserve it.

1458
01:44:56,440 --> 01:44:58,500
Look, it's an easy shot.

1459
01:44:58,600 --> 01:45:01,140
He never took the easy shot.

1460
01:45:01,240 --> 01:45:03,660
Coming back to coach us,
he could have died.

1461
01:45:03,760 --> 01:45:05,620
And what have we done for him?

1462
01:45:05,720 --> 01:45:08,924
Won a few games? A championship?

1463
01:45:10,640 --> 01:45:12,251
No, he's right.

1464
01:45:12,800 --> 01:45:16,740
While we've been staring at the dirt,
coach has been saying look up.

1465
01:45:16,840 --> 01:45:19,042
It's about time we did.

1466
01:45:19,480 --> 01:45:23,340
It's time for us to stand tall.
Victory formation.

1467
01:45:23,440 --> 01:45:26,041
No, no, no. You gotta do it.

1468
01:45:27,400 --> 01:45:28,726
All right.

1469
01:45:29,000 --> 01:45:32,940
Boys, no matter where we
go or what we achieve...

1470
01:45:33,040 --> 01:45:36,140
nothing's gonna come close
to what we have right here.

1471
01:45:36,240 --> 01:45:38,660
You're all my brothers.
Spartans for life.

1472
01:45:38,760 --> 01:45:40,540
Spartans for life.

1473
01:45:40,640 --> 01:45:43,684
Shotgun formation, direct snap,
on me, on one. Ready?

1474
01:45:44,760 --> 01:45:47,380
De La Salle is lining up
in shotgun formation...

1475
01:45:47,480 --> 01:45:50,411
but Chris Ryan is quarterback
instead of Salinas.

1476
01:45:50,680 --> 01:45:53,700
This is a formation we haven't
seen from De La Salle.

1477
01:45:53,800 --> 01:45:58,700
Look for Ryan to run this in for his
record-setting 89th career touchdown.

1478
01:45:58,800 --> 01:46:02,049
Maybe this wasn't the best
time to give Salinas free will.

1479
01:46:04,360 --> 01:46:06,380
Down. Set, hut!

1480
01:46:06,480 --> 01:46:09,980
- There's the snap, and Ryan...
- What the hell was that?

1481
01:46:10,080 --> 01:46:11,220
...takes a knee.

1482
01:46:11,320 --> 01:46:15,100
Wow, rather than running in for
his 89th career touchdown...

1483
01:46:15,200 --> 01:46:17,620
Chris Ryan instead
opts to take a knee.

1484
01:46:17,720 --> 01:46:19,524
What are you doing, coach?

1485
01:46:21,440 --> 01:46:25,900
Let him run it. Forty-one blast, come on.
There's still time. Run it! Run it!

1486
01:46:26,000 --> 01:46:29,860
- Mickey, Bob's not calling the plays.
- You don't understand football.

1487
01:46:29,960 --> 01:46:31,491
It's not about football.

1488
01:46:31,800 --> 01:46:35,140
Your husband is costing
my son this record.

1489
01:46:35,240 --> 01:46:37,860
My husband's turning
your son into a man.

1490
01:46:37,960 --> 01:46:41,767
- You're the only person who doesn't see.
- Down, set, hut!

1491
01:46:43,040 --> 01:46:44,260
No, no, no. Come on.

1492
01:46:44,360 --> 01:46:48,087
- Ryan takes another knee.
- Time out. Stop that clock, Ladouceur.

1493
01:46:48,240 --> 01:46:50,180
Stop that clock and run that play.

1494
01:46:50,280 --> 01:46:53,131
Run the play!
Let him get the record! Come on!

1495
01:47:24,080 --> 01:47:28,500
What could've been a record-shattering
night has now turned into a tribute...

1496
01:47:28,600 --> 01:47:32,771
to the man who took them here,
Coach Bob Ladouceur.

1497
01:48:02,000 --> 01:48:06,020
- Why didn't that boy get his record?
- Because it's not about the record.

1498
01:48:06,120 --> 01:48:09,380
- Nine, eight, seven, six...
- It's about the team.

1499
01:48:09,480 --> 01:48:10,900
...five, four...

1500
01:48:11,000 --> 01:48:14,602
three, two, one.

1501
01:48:16,400 --> 01:48:19,171
Yeah!

1502
01:48:30,000 --> 01:48:31,725
For you.

1503
01:48:36,120 --> 01:48:37,651
Come here.

1504
01:48:44,200 --> 01:48:51,409
DLS, DLS, DLS!

1505
01:49:28,680 --> 01:49:30,620
Remember one other thing:

1506
01:49:30,720 --> 01:49:35,140
Nobody on this staff expects
you to play perfect tonight.

1507
01:49:35,240 --> 01:49:38,220
That's impossible.
But what we do expect...

1508
01:49:38,320 --> 01:49:41,620
and you should expect from
yourself and each other...

1509
01:49:41,720 --> 01:49:43,968
is a perfect effort.

1510
01:49:51,400 --> 01:49:53,523
I'll say this about Bob Ladouceur...

1511
01:49:55,800 --> 01:49:59,820
that he's a better coach than
our big-time college coaches...

1512
01:49:59,920 --> 01:50:03,886
and he's a better coach than
our big-time pro coaches.

1513
01:50:08,720 --> 01:50:12,766
Everybody stands up as an individual
and says, "My name is DJ Williams.

1514
01:50:15,680 --> 01:50:19,580
I commit to 20 carries, 150 yards,
seven tackles and no dropped passes."

1515
01:50:19,680 --> 01:50:23,740
Once you say that, you hand the card
to somebody, and you shake hands...

1516
01:50:23,840 --> 01:50:26,646
and they say, "I hold you
to that commitment."

1517
01:50:31,280 --> 01:50:35,580
To the Kelly family,
Landrin and Bevelyn.

1518
01:50:35,680 --> 01:50:41,091
My heart breaks for your loss,
and I pray for your recovery.

1519
01:50:41,840 --> 01:50:43,500
God bless you both...

1520
01:50:43,600 --> 01:50:47,500
and please, take some
solace in the fact...

1521
01:50:47,600 --> 01:50:51,009
that you did a fantastic job.

1522
01:51:02,040 --> 01:51:05,380
I told you before, this is the
last thing I'm gonna say.

1523
01:51:05,480 --> 01:51:08,380
Growing up is painful.

1524
01:51:08,480 --> 01:51:11,001
It's not easy.

1525
01:51:11,880 --> 01:51:16,085
But that's what our program is about,
in case you haven't figured it out.

1526
01:51:16,560 --> 01:51:18,780
It ain't about the football.

1527
01:51:18,880 --> 01:51:21,820
It ain't about scoring touchdowns.

1528
01:51:21,920 --> 01:51:24,060
It ain't about the win streak.

1529
01:51:24,160 --> 01:51:26,931
It's about moving
you in a direction...

1530
01:51:27,280 --> 01:51:32,008
that will assist you
and help you grow up.

1531
01:51:32,520 --> 01:51:35,380
So when you can take your place...

1532
01:51:35,480 --> 01:51:39,260
out in the world, and out in society,
and out in our community...

1533
01:51:39,360 --> 01:51:43,620
you can be depended on.

1534
01:51:43,720 --> 01:51:45,126
Lad said it. He goes:

1535
01:51:46,360 --> 01:51:48,340
"You know, if, you know,
Terry wasn't on my staff...

1536
01:51:48,440 --> 01:51:50,620
I wouldn't be doing this right now."

1537
01:51:50,720 --> 01:51:54,340
There's a tremendous bond of
trust and friendship that's there.

1538
01:51:54,440 --> 01:51:56,740
They share a commitment
to their players.

1539
01:51:56,840 --> 01:52:00,820
No matter what's going on,
the players come first...

1540
01:52:00,920 --> 01:52:02,660
and that means the team.

1541
01:52:02,760 --> 01:52:05,860
They will never sacrifice the
team for the individual.

1542
01:52:05,960 --> 01:52:08,540
And all they wanna do
is create a community...

1543
01:52:08,640 --> 01:52:11,446
have a common goal,
and play the game.

1544
01:52:18,400 --> 01:52:21,460
We're De La Salle.
Some guys wanna call it a curse...

1545
01:52:21,560 --> 01:52:24,060
I say that's the blessing
of De La Salle.

1546
01:52:24,160 --> 01:52:26,420
You gotta go out every
week and prove it.

1547
01:52:26,520 --> 01:52:31,740
So when you show up tomorrow,
whatever it is that excites you...

1548
01:52:31,840 --> 01:52:36,700
whatever it is that's gonna get you
to bring your A-game and your A-heart...

1549
01:52:36,800 --> 01:52:39,140
you bring it and you do it.

1550
01:52:39,240 --> 01:52:43,340
I don't know what that is for you.
What is it that gets your heart swollen.

1551
01:52:43,440 --> 01:52:46,780
Hopefully, it's gonna be that
last chapter in the book...

1552
01:52:46,880 --> 01:52:50,050
that you've written for
yourself this year.

1553
01:52:51,240 --> 01:52:56,180
And I'd like to say, I'd like to just
call that last chapter just what...

1554
01:52:56,280 --> 01:52:58,140
Just what Coach Eidson called it.

1555
01:52:58,240 --> 01:53:04,260
Last chapter of the book isn't
the NCS 3A title or San Leandro.

1556
01:53:04,360 --> 01:53:06,439
It's "Brotherhood."

1557
01:53:06,440 --> 01:53:08,847
That's what it should be titled.
