rest of the year maybe i should have

harrison start our first game instead of

sorry coach sorry doesn't cut it

everybody

laps now

hey coach maybe you should ease up on

danielle

you know take some of the pressure off

aggression that's the way you're

motivated you got to get in these kids

heads

you make them throw up before every

practice blackstone's always done that

jitters you know there are pros who do

that before every game

they're kids not pros teenage girls it's

high school basketball

if i had that attitude there'd be no

girls basketball in this town

look coach listen mozbek

i built this program into the one thing

this two horse town looks forward to

every year girls basketball was a joke

when i started

coaching i put butts in these seats

attendance went through the roof and so

did

funding for a new gym new parking lot

new assistant coach

all right ladies come on move it

no kidding you stole the ball right in

anyone else to get to before they do

this is

so important to her

cheryl's the best ball player i ever

coached she'll get that scholarship

she'll have her choice of schools i

better go

i don't want cheryl to see me

there you go four kids no husband

in this year

[Applause]

hey welcome again inside the hangston

gym i'm brendan connor with dan duran

and happy again to be bringing you

hangston lady warriors basketball and

boy there's a real sense of excitement

in this gym tonight dan

there certainly is and here comes the

legendary coach tommy holliday

state's winningest high school

basketball coach hangston lady warriors

have won the conference title for

three years in a

[Music]

to hangston row right behind coach

holiday

is a brand new member of the team a new

assistant coach laura mossbach yes laura

monsbach was a long time star michigan

of course

all-american in her junior year had a

wonderful career there and has joined

the hangston lady warriors as an

assistant coach hoping to bring some of

her offensive skills and

pass them on to some of the girls she's

a great shooter in her day and if she

can pass on some of those shooting

secrets

hankson will be the better for it

[Applause]

let's show the university of tennessee

how we play ball

here's the opening jump ball and it's

controlled by the lady warriors and

dominate them quickly daniel blackstone

the pass inside is sure remains it's

right away and the lady warriors are on

the board first what a good start to the

season

it certainly is and baines being a very

strong player

really delivering what we all expect

from it

now here's union bill trying to work it

back in to get a tie a simpkins misses

her shot back up and in though

[Applause]

the warriors are headed back down the

court for another trip and they add to

their total here

oh this time the pass goes out of bounds

and the union

[Applause]

and it's blackstone with a steal quick

hands here at midford

sure baines goes up and goes in and

she's fouled and some of the people in

stands looking for a foul as well

the bucket will count though now the

second's sticking down to halftime

meanwhile trying to take the lead before

halftime

and it's no good and we'll go to the

break tied at 25 not a great first half

for the lady warriors

what the hell was that amateur night in

hangston now let me repeat

you're playing like a bunch of ranked

freshmen

we're not playing like champions people

blackstone base is wide open under the

basket so why do you keep dribbling with

five seconds on the clock

hey answer me get back in the game girl

coach sorry coach

i don't want sorry i want my champion

point guard danielle blackstone

now let's get out there and play like

champions

who are we i can't hear you

let me hear it again get out there

don't ever interrupt me when i am

speaking to a player

things are not looking good here dan for

the lady warriors they're making their

last trip down

20 seconds to go they trail by three

fifteen to the basket

what their strategy will be most likely

they'll try to get into cheryl

she's had the dominant play all night

and has really had no trouble scoring

his black stone and bates does have

position down low turning putting it up

oh boy she gets stopped

[Applause]

that was brutal i'm trying to take my

best player out of the game

what game are you impressing that's why

she loves me

cheryl's down time out

time out cheryl baines here cheryl

baines is a huge asset to this team it

would be a

big disappointment for the team if she

was not able to continue how many points

is it your knee just a cramp they were

all over me they pushed me from both

sides there's some water

is she gonna be okay fine fine okay

where's the crayon

houston for beans no coach i'm fine

honest

looks like she'll stay in the game yes

all right gather round come on

i want a very strong man-to-man defense

we're going to be all over baines like

velcro now get the ball to danielle

you've got lots of time

let's go who are we one two three one

[Applause]

is all right now all the rules have to

four five six seven

eight nine uh coach holliday called me

last night with a couple of plays you

might want to work into the practice

coach called you

can't keep tommy holliday down for long

hmm

yeah holliday said he prefers a 1-3-1

defense against mark instead of a

man-to-man

well thank you really thank you all for

coming down and showing your

support i really appreciate it you're

all really busy people

but practices are closed what well

we thought that you know for the first

few days did you ever sit in on a

practice with coach holliday

no but uh well great then we'll see the

next game

okay

thanks

okay everybody huddle up

uh guys this is

all new to me and i'm not gonna lie to

you

i'm a little nervous i i'm not coach

holiday

i don't have one of the best records

coaching high school basketball

i i don't even have a record so i have

no business talking to you about winning

championships

and i think you have enough pressure on

you from parents and fans

what i need from you is for you to relax

and stop worrying about winning

but just always make a winning effort

that's all i can ask from you

okay on three warriors

one two three hi again everybody brendan

connor with dan duran we're courtside

and happy once again to be bringing you

hangston lady warriors basketball and

tonight's opponents the marco marotta

and the players are coming out on the

court now along with coach

fosbach it's her first night tonight and

she's trying to fill the shoes of the

legendary coach

the legendary tommy holliday the big

shoes is to phil tommy holly of course

had a wonderful career here it may not

be over we know that tommy holliday is

ill having gone down with heart attack

game one but he's doing well but all

eyes on laura moss back to see if she

can handle this team by herself on that

finish

let's go warriors

[Applause]

and the lady warriors continue to pound

that right side on the offense and get

it down on the corner of bain she's got

some room on the baseline

up and good they're up by four now

that's eight for danes

and jennifer westaway scores on the

left-hand layup that's 17 for her

markham is down just two but she is just

torching danielle blackstone here's a

wide open chance for the lady warriors

in blackstone with the layup oh she

misses

it where is the concentration for

danielle blackstone

is she all right

down by two the ladybugs get it to

daniel blackstone she hasn't had a great

night

oh stolen here in the backcourt sloppy

plays

and once again it is westaway scoring

for parker

took it out of the hands danielle that's

right the lady warriors

looking rattled here call us coaching

what's going on with danielle i don't

think she feels very well danielle are

you okay

carly go in for danielle i'm fine really

sit down and get some fluids

okay let's huddle up girls slow down

what's she putting her in for the ball

well i guess it helps if your father is

sleeping with a coach

let me take it down the court line up

ladies what do you say to my wife

i'm talking to you there's kids here man

come on be cool

let's go cuz puts the ball back into

play and right away they go to young

carly harrison and

she's a little jittery down there

dribbling into trouble she's surrounded

by markham players

and she's gonna have to heave the ball

across the corner almost out of bounds

run down by amy fulton though and fulton

now tosses a pass across an ansi

intercepted

and west away goes in for two more for

markham some bad ball handling there and

bad passing by the lady warriors

now mark them back in for a 10-foot

jumper by smith two more for the

marauders

will try to get the ball in they get it

to young carly harrison this is the

youngster we told you about

and she's bringing up oh what what is

she trying there the behind the back

pass nowhere near cheryl beans

out of bounds that is a flashy move not

a move that coach holliday would ever

have sanctioned

carly that's not the play i call it well

if she would have caught the damn pass

are you telling me how to play someone

she

the second's winding down in the first

half markham would like to pad this lead

a little bit and here's jane smith with

the turnaround it's good

mark completes by six but look at

hankson's got it in and a full-length

pass

from baynes down to carly harrison the

last shot of the half oh she blows the

way up and hangston's gonna trail by six

going into halftime now let's see

if laura mossback can fire up this team

during halftime

excuse me what are you benching danielle

for danielle's not feeling well

i would know if my daughter was sick

this wouldn't have anything to do with

your dating crimes father would

coach we need you in here

excuse me mrs blackstone

we're not done yet mom

please it's okay it's not okay i think

i'm catching robert's

do you want to lose your starting place

to that little harrison brat

you should not be in here coach holliday

would have kept her in

she can play sick please leave

so what are you gonna do coach i really

do feel fine

we need danielle carly's a hot dog

what do you want to do coach

she'll be back okay danielle you go in

good job carly what is this come on

warriors don't forget to double up go

back in all right

all right go warriors get back into this

game

[Applause]

oh damn it just five seconds left and a

five point spread i don't think there's

any hope really that the lady warriors

can come back here but

marcie houston their ace shooter is on

the foul line for two shots and oh she

misses the first one how often do you

see that she is normally an ace from

there

just shows you how uninspired the

hangston warriors have been this game

she's a great shooter always money in

the bank here's the second shot now and

that misses

two and the marauders control the

rebound and down they come they're gonna

win this game by five

fifty two forty seven a disappointing

finish for the first game as head coach

back and not really appreciating

hey you gave it to your all it's only

one game yeah only one game there goes

my scholarship

well i guess that's it so much for our

new coach

holiday better get well quick thank you

loss i chalked up to a shaky start

what happened tonight well i told my

team they played a good game

i guess maybe i should tell everyone and

hear that too would you tell carly

carly is a part of the team i thought

she did great coming off the bench

if you put her in sooner you won eric

she doesn't have enough experience she

doesn't have enough experience

here you go mr harrison

i'll be back for your order she doesn't

have enough experience

she's not the only one you know you're

right

it's my second game you know carly can

shoot better than danielle why wouldn't

you put her in you wouldn't talk to

holliday like this

i deserve more respect you all respect

you want respect you're gonna have to

start winning okay laura

you know start winning they'll run you

out of this town on the rail no matter

how many jerry black stunts you suck up

whoa carly's a tough one yeah that's

where i'm starting her

what same players same place everyone

sees us coming

not anymore danielle take it strong to

the hole

uh some parents will have something to

say about this if we win they won't have

any reason to complain

i gotta find a way to win yeah buddy

nice shot

all right everybody new lineup for

friday night carly you're starting

rotating off the bench with danielle

very good this week we're going to

practice like we've never

practiced before and from now on

everything that happens in this gym

stays in here no parents no fans

just us i want to win

as badly as you do but you have got to

trust me

and when we hit the court on friday

night streetsville won't know what hit

him because we're going to be a new team

a winning team

no more girls basketball no more lady

warriors

because you're not girls and i certainly

don't want you playing like ladies

from now on you are warriors women

warriors

[Applause]

and welcome again to hangston lady

warriors basketball and tonight's

actually

playing the scootsville tigers this

should be an interesting matchup

streetsville not a great team dan but

let's go

faces in the lineup yes carly harrison

it's the first time she's starting from

danielle hasn't said a word all week

danielle see how she does in the

starting point

very different than when you're

substituted in but carly harrison gets

the start and we're underway

nothing early for the hanks and lady

warriors as they jump out to the early

lead and now harrison's stolen the

inbounds pass and lays that in

very quickly for nothing

now the warrior's working around

harrison on the right side goes past her

check

collision but a reckless drive and i

think harrison's been called for himself

[Music]

control the ball don't don't follow

carly

calm down you hear me do not foul keep

passing until you find an open shot

okay there are no more timeouts left so

let's win this on three

one two three let's go warrior all right

hanksman puts the ball into play again

kylie harrison coming up to mid court

and oh here's a carriage needlessly

putting it behind her back stolen by

jennings

and streetsville gets a layup and now

harrison has complicated matters by

fouling jennings

a chance for a three-point play for the

streetsville tigers right

nothing worse than a show-off show

followed by losing the ball and now

she's got a foul on her

and the shot is good so harrison gives

up three points and streetsville pulls

ahead

it's all right just six seconds left now

the warriors down by one they'll have to

look for something quickly and look for

a last-second shot

it's in the hands of carly harris it

looks like she'll take the shot and

it'll be a three-pointer

harrison for the win

[Music]

it's good

[Applause]

no i didn't know she had a dinner good

[Music]

hey hey

good job

[Music]

[Applause]

okay who's up for pizza

hey hey i just came by to apologize

for what my behavior at the restaurant

was uh

is that a line i'm sorry well what about

your behavior tonight

laura i just think it's probably better

if people don't see us together you know

uh during the season but it's all right

to come over here when no one's looking

hey come on you know what i mean i mean

it's for the team it's for carly

eric we have nothing to hide i can see

you

and still coach carly i can be honest

with both of you

but you have a problem being honest with

me yeah

whatever that chip is on your shoulder

and however it got there it is shutting

me out

what chip i'm not a chip

i'm just trying to do the right thing i

don't play games

i'll talk to you tomorrow okay good

night

[Music]

come on carly let me walk all over you

but dad dad what we won the game okay

it's not enough carly

are you satisfied with that there's more

to life than just winning

come on lean into me use your weight

move defend the goal i'm under the hole

what are you going to do

get your hands up get your hands down

when i drive hit me

that's it that's what i'm talking about

you're gonna foul someone really hit her

[Music]

after five wins in a row coach laura

mazbach

has got the hangston lady warriors they

prefer to be called

women warriors back in the hunt for the

south central conference title

yes they won three years in a row of

course and uh started off the season

with some struggles and coach holiday

going down but laura mozbach has taken

over nicely and the lady warriors are

playing pretty well these days but they

have their hands full in this game

marauders always play the warriors tough

especially number 33 west away she's

doing a great job bumping and

frustrating

take it to him carl here we go oh

that's three fouls and carly a foul

number one five on the white pushing ref

you playing for their team

simmer down coach number 33 is all over

my player i will not simmer down that's

a technical foul i'm a hangston coach

oh that's great who's paying you yeah

that's right give them another point

cause they can't win it on their own

one more crack out of you coach you're

out of here you kidding me what you're

gonna do throw us all out of here

you're a jerk 33 on the blue shoots two

[Music]

come on sit down come back come on

warrior just want to make sure he starts

watching number 33.

don't get kicked out because i don't

want to replace you okay

you got nothing to worry about reg

markham is still in the lead and they

bring it up once again and once again

they'll be looking for westerners smith

has it

westway cutting across the key and a

whistle after a collision under there

another foul on hangston

i think this is another foul on carly

harrison that's a foul

number one five on the white i don't

know about that one dan it was just a

collision under there and it could have

gone either way coach

either control your fans or stop this

come on right now

you've got one i understand all right

it's just a game

[Applause]

they're really unhappy with the referee

get in here

hey carly use your head we've got this

game sewn up okay

play smart and there's another easy

basket by mark and boy they're having a

ring with the lady warriors

and led by the defense of western way

who's really been in carly harrison's

face all night every time pushing

harrison gets the ball western way is

there and now look at carly harrison in

frustration throws western way to the

floor

that's a flagrant foul number one five

on the white

players gone

[Music]

and you're calling me for this

get your hands off them for

calm down

is having a rather bizarre somewhat

frightening year

first legendary winning coach tommy

holliday suffers a heart attack at the

buzzer

now tonight this yes folks

a disgruntled parent decks the wrath

after what he thought was a bad call

the referee daniel ferris reportedly

suffered a broken cheekbone

and was taken to university hospital

where he will undergo

reconstructive surgery

bathroom's free do you need anything

no thanks i told your dad you were here

how long is he gonna be in jail well i'd

be there tonight

the arraignment's tomorrow so he'll

probably come home tomorrow

carly he's gonna be all right

dad's so screwed up

nobody feels worse about this than he

does this whole thing is my fault

i mean if i just listened to the ref in

the first place none of this would have

ever happened well yes you should have

listened to the ref but

honey your father's behavior is not your

fault it just gets so crazy

i mean when i'm playing it's like

it's like it's the most important thing

in his life

no honey you are the most important

thing in his life

yeah right he loves you very very much

carly

you know i'm not 10 years old

you don't have to talk to me like you

talk to zach

[Music]

i just want to go to sleep now

[Music]

due to the severity and the nature of

the crime the people request fifty

thousand dollars bail

daughter my client is self-employed and

uh

is a single father who has so financial

responsibility

for his daughter we request that he be

rord until time at trial your honor the

people feel it's important to send a

message that this sort of behavior

will not be tolerated by our legal

system or by our society

counselor this court's concern is

whether or not the defendant poses a

risk to himself or others or a flight

risk if at least on bail

your honor my client has no priors he is

a

responsible and caring single parent who

has always been there for his 15 year

old daughter carly

who is in the courtroom by the way as a

show of support to her father

as is the coach of her team

do you understand the gravity of your

crime mr harrison

stand up yes sir i do i'm very sorry

uh i got out of control

i'm aware of that uh i didn't mean to

blow up it all just

it all just happened very fast i'm gonna

go easy on you because of your daughter

bail is set at ten thousand dollars

i i don't have that kind of money i'm

sure your attorney can direct you to a

bail bondsman

i'm also going to issue a restraining

order now to enter any arena where your

daughter is playing basketball

until after your trial your honor might

it's important that i'm there for my

daughter uh she needs me

[Music]

perhaps you should have followed that

earlier mr harrison

next case

oh that's her right

carly is in zach's room they're playing

and uh

i tried to keep her away from the tv and

the radio but i appreciate that lord

it's nice to you

do you want something to drink no i just

want to

pick carly up and go home uh eric

um carly asked if she could stay here

for a few days

why well she's pretty scared

uh what listen if somebody's saying

something to her i swear to god

eric she's scared of you

me you exploded you you punched the ref

right in front of her it really

frightened her the ref

it was a bad call he was all over her

it wasn't fair

life isn't fair

carly really looks up to you you've

always been there for her

you know eric

she plays basketball for you for your

love

for your approval maybe now is the time

you try to find another way to show her

you love her

[Music]

laura told me you're only going to be

suspended for one game that's pretty

good because i don't care

carly don't talk like that come on

i'm gonna remember these days for the

rest of your life

you're gonna chance here you know a

chance to do something my

most people only ever dream about

what if i said i don't want to play

anymore

you don't want to play anymore it's just

a what if that

that would be carly i made a mistake

but don't let the dumbest thing i ever

did stop you from doing something you

love whatever you decide to do i

i love you

it's okay

[Music]

for the warriors passing it around carol

baines has it in the post looks for the

shot

no a great pass to danielle blackstone

who lays it in

and the warriors comfortably ahead here

and everybody pretty happy on that bench

these are the warriors of old and uh

they don't even seem to be missing carly

harrison who

as you remember is out for a game

suspension after her father

harley are you going it's our game wrap

up

so i didn't play

you're part of the team you guys don't

need me i mean

you won anyway yeah we lucked out and

had an easy game

we need you the whole team knows that

i'm just gonna go

hey harrison

get your butt in here

[Music]

and we won anyway but it shows you

if you play as a team if you stick

together

we can win even without one of our best

players on the floor

all right that's it what are we

warriors carly come on let's go my car's

out back

bye

is it okay yeah

[Music]

thanks

[Music]

all right all right that's four more

shopping days until your midterm papers

are due people

be on time 20 pages double space

thanks for suggesting victoria woodhole

to me she's amazing

is it okay if i give you more than 20

pages i don't get asked that question

often

but of course just watch the spelling

yeah and danielle

could you check and see how cheryl's

doing maybe you could help her along

she's got to keep her grades up or she

won't be able to play basketball well

that's not really an option though right

with carly now i'm replaceable danielle

you are not replaceable it's okay you

might have noticed i'm not throwing up

before every game anymore

i'm replaceable but cheryl i mean

cheryl's the bomb

yeah well the bomb needs to get her

assignments in

okay i get it i'll help her

great thanks

[Music]

coming up at 10 we'll have more on eric

harrison the ref-beating dad about to go

on trial

then join us for our continuing series

raging parents

when cheers turn to tears

i'm sorry you had to see that

how about we stick to videos for a while

huh

do you think eric's sorry probably

no i'm sure he is can you be your friend

again

i hope so you know what time it is

time for you to get ready for bed come

on i'll be up soon

i compared the two essays side by side

you've done the same there's absolutely

no mistaking it the sentence structure

the vocabulary

are obviously danielle's even the

spelling mistakes are the same

oh god this doesn't prove anything they

admitted it to me

no danielle misunderstood you she

thought you wanted her to help cheryl

mrs blackstone danielle is old enough

and smart enough to know the difference

between helping

and writing an entire paper for her now

i'm sorry but they're both gonna have to

sit out the next game

you can't do that you know this team

can't win without cheryl

danielle was just being a team player

i'm proud of her

you should be too the conference rules

on cheating are pretty cut and dry

nothing is cut and dry when it comes to

a team this close to a championship

i don't understand it cheryl's always

gotten good grades before

what if she writes another paper if

you'd like to take that up with the

school board you are more than welcome

the hell with the school board i'm on

the damn board and believe me we're not

gonna let this happen

after the publicity we got from that

lunatic eric harrison

this team does not need another

humiliating incident so you compound one

wrong with another

and what message does that send our kids

no one else needs to know

this team deserves special consideration

at a time like this

particularly from their coach yes i am

their coach

i am also their teacher this is very

difficult for me

well you better get your priorities

straight if you still want to coach

anything ladies

mom how could you do this to me

[Music]

you'd sacrifice our whole lives to some

stupid paper get real you shouldn't even

be a coach

cheryl stop it no i won't stop it all

the other teachers are cool with my

grades

they care about the team about my life

i'm sorry coach mars back

[Music]

foreign

so you here to take your job back no

hit no way i was just out taking my

renovated ticket for a walk tonight

please i haven't spoken to you since

just after the surgery and now you just

show up

you know a man of my condition shouldn't

be kept out in the cold too long

cheryl baines cheated now what kind of

coach never mind teacher would i be

if i just looked the other way just a

minute let me tell you something

that scholarship's the only thing

standing between her and a career at the

tasty freeze all the teachers know that

so she just gets special consideration

oh and what about when she goes to

college

if she's good enough they'll make sure

she stays eligible a good player is a

valuable commodity i mean you know how

college ball works yeah and if she gets

a she'll be justified

one out of a hundred high school

athletes play maybe one minute of

college ball and something like one out

of a hundred thousand move on to the

pros statistics

statistics are excuses just pass em

take your red pencil with a little

eraser change the

f to a b and get the hell on with it no

one will know no one will care

so they win the way i see it your team

wins

that's what it's all about right what

about integrity

oh mossback don't be like that man of la

mancha guy fighting those windmills

don quixote whatever

just pass him and get the hell on with

her we still have a shot at state don't

blow it i'd really ruin your winning

record wouldn't i

thanks for the tea never drank tea in my

life before all this happened

have you done your homework he got me

the wrong kind of fruit roll up so i

wanted strawberry you got me grape

well you don't always get what you want

you always get what you want and what

makes you say that

nothing i'm so sick of everyone around

here thinking they're so entitled

they want to win so they get to just

like wanting a new car they just get one

they want their kids to play so they get

to even if

they cheat gimme gimme gimme win win win

no matter what the cost

we don't win we beat you up and now

we're gonna do the right thing so now

i'm donkey honey

god

that's okay i'll have the graveyard

can play i wouldn't call a d exactly

triumph

hey lighten up danielle we pass that's

all that matters not to me

come on this never would have happened

if coach holliday were here

she cares more about you than he ever

did get real cheryl you can't play

basketball all your life

yeah well playing tonight

this streetsville gym is a noisy place

to play tough fans here top place for

the visitors

this is a must-win game for the lady

warriors if they're going to repeat as

conference champions for a record fourth

straight time

tiger's up by four daniel blackstone now

driving baseline

she'll kick it to carly harrison

harrison lays it up in good carly

harrison's first time back

after her one gang suspension she's

having a terrific night well they do

need her energy they can't count on

cheryl baines and daniel blackstone for

everything and young harrison

the energy in his room is unbelievable

very high

it's getting ugly as always in this gym

i told you

30 28 now the streetsville tigers lead

as they bring it back down the second's

winding down too they'll continue to try

and work it around the perimeter here

and look for a final shot

oh there's a foul down there and that's

kind of rare for her she doesn't play

this kind of rough game

just a couple of seconds left in this

first half gotta wonder if streetsville

can get it in and get a decent shot

put it in bounds pretty good defense by

the hangston lady warriors though and

the streetsville tigers

don't get a shot away and that is the

half 30-28 for streetsville

as we're at halftime go ready to go

you get the ball on the block you make

the reverse pivot and you put it up

strong with two hands

two hands off the top you make the

reverse heaven

up for two heads come on get in there

i hate streetsville you know they're

such whiners

buddy you don't like it here leave

hey man it's a free country we can say

we won not here

buddy so just shut your mouth come on

yeah so uh

who's gonna make me come on guys

joe bring it

okay don't forget to box out are there

any questions

coach you better get out here there's a

fight in the parking lot

stay here

[Applause]

any day of the week yeah so even your

fault players are the dirtiest in the

conference

they always have been dude

control your fans you control yours

i should pull the plug on this whole

fiscal right now okay hey hey it's all

over

it's just a couple of hooligans all

right come on norah

let's play some ball coach hey hey all

right

well you tell them lost man you got a

lot more steak here than i do

is this a guy you got to forget and

focus on the game don't worry

all right let's play ball come on come

on let's play ball got a basketball game

to play here some of the fans got into a

scuffle in the parking lot i understand

the police had to get involved

they did break things up a few bloody

noses really easy

all right joe high school folks but uh

yeah it's like a one

running high still you're right though

sad state of affairs in women's high

school basketball you have

parents brawling in the parking lot i

can't see it any other way the fans have

been behaving rather

well just disgustingly well let's hope

the fans on both sides can maybe

uh take a cue from these two captains uh

captains of both teams shaking hands and

talking at

center court as we get started in the

second half in just a few moments

so what they're talking about but

there's the buzzer everyone is second

half action in just a moment

[Applause]

i really need you guys to focus now

coach

we don't want to play not with our

parents behaving like this

not under these conditions do you know

what you're doing

yeah you realize you're forfeiting the

game

and you've all agreed i guess

yes coach get your team out here now

okay uh i can't make you get out there

and make a line

much of that he's going to probably give

them another few seconds and then maybe

there's some

unusual situation they uh oh they are

coming out now

so what the warriors

what's going on here i am

just starting the second half it's uh

you know what i think that this is the

end of the game

but what a sacrifice by the lady

warriors they've basically basically

thrown it away for the year

what the heck are you trying to pull i'm

not trying to pull anything

you're a loser most back always will be

do not take my team down with you

that's it i'm calling this game right

now

that's it good we're ahead

we win and what exactly did you win

no no no no no no you're going to stop

this from happening you got to get

control of your team right now

oh you want them to be under control

like their parents on

[Applause]

[Music]

is everybody okay sorry coach don't

apologize

everybody out there should be

apologizing to each and every one of you

we just blew the championships

we could have won that game cheryl you

agreed

it's okay there's more at stake here

than a championship

they still don't get it do they

[Music]

i think maybe some of them do but would

the next game be any different

i don't know look

i am so proud of you guys

you took a brave stand and it wasn't

easy

now let's make it mean something

i will respect the officials and their

authority i will refrain from shouting

at my child or other players during the

game

i will never ridicule my child for

making a mistake

and last i will teach my child that

doing one's best is more important

than winning we are asking hankston

parents and fans to sign this pledge

anyone who does not sign it will not be

allowed in the gym

anyone who violates this pledge during

the game will be ejected

and banned from all further games and

this is the only way

the girls will take the court on friday

that is ridiculous

a lot of schools have come up with codes

of conduct like this a lot of schools

were talking about hangston

small town they used to have a good

basketball team a team that you let blow

any chance of a championship thank you

honey

you know coaches have been fired from

far less

as for this pledge business taxpayers

shouldn't have to sign pledges to enter

gyms that they paid for

period now

we have only one game left and no chance

of any tournament play so

i'm sure coach holliday is uh well

enough to take the reign should you

choose to step down

no miss mossbach no

you're asking me to quit and i won't do

it i've got a bunch of girls who need me

too much

i've got a girl whose father beats up a

ref because he is so wrapped up in his

daughter fulfilling his dreams

i have another who pukes her guts out

trying to be the perfect child to

perfect parents

and one who thinks that simple rules do

not apply to her because of her

considerable talents on the basketball

court

which puts her in a real good place for

a minimum wage job for the rest of her

life

i love basketball probably more than any

of you in this room

it is a brilliant beautiful game

a game that kids should not be playing

for their parents or their coaches

but for themselves and that is what this

pledge is about

and i'm sorry but we won't take the

floor on friday unless you sign it

so if you wanna fire me fire away but

i'm not gonna quit

not now excuse me

[Music]

well our fourth championship is gone

the only question is do we yank her now

or after friday's game

jerry

i think it's time you listen to your

[Music]

daughter

[Music]

better watch that knee

[Applause]

ah i came to get my stuff

how did you move your stuff it's all

where you left it well i'm moving it

out what i'm done with the game

except as a spectator i'm retiring

why i got some other things i

want to do in my life before the old

ticker goes for good besides it's

time i got out of the way of young

coaches with better attitudes

your job now is that you or the school

board talking

after what i saw today you can handle

the school board

thanks

right now i'm worried about the team you

know just giving them one last game that

they can feel good about

the last game what are you talking about

you got a

whole new crop of young girls coming in

huh

a lot of new parents now see that's what

i'm afraid of

don't take yourself out of the game

mosby

don't

[Music]

you're the coach now

keep fighting those windmills

[Music]

hey there hey how you doing

i'm good how are you okay

you uh you probably shouldn't be here

yeah i know i was just dropping carly

off she wanted to come early and shoot

some moves

listen to my my my trial date's been

changed i know

i heard oh yeah next month yes yeah

i'm gonna plead guilty i just don't want

to drag carly through the whole trial

process and

it's the thing to do i am guilty

i can only imagine how difficult this

must be for you

yeah well my lawyers convinced them to

reduce the charges it doesn't look like

i'll have to serve any jail time or

anything

maybe just do some community service

anyway laura i just wanted to wish you

good luck

i'll be listening tonight thank you eric

hey don't give up on me okay

not a chance

tonight's the last game of the season

for the warriors and no one is allowed

into the hangston gym without

signing a pledge yes that they will

behave themselves if you believe

yes it's a weird turn of events but

that's the way it is as we enter the

final game of the season here the

unionville wolves are the visitors

here

[Applause]

the tennessee scouts back i know i

called him

thank you you're welcome

okay you're gonna sit by me tonight okay

okay

longer but they would like to play well

in this last game for their fans

and for their coach laura mogba that's

how you've already noticed the

atmosphere is a whole lot better in here

and we might be in for a

for a game without incident wouldn't

that be nice

devlin brings it up to run the offense

calls the play the baseline has been

open for harrison

young carly harrison drives to the

bucket there rolls down hard

as she is fouled let's hope carly

harrison keeps her emotions in check

she's a bit of a hot head we know that

and uh she seems to be fine

all right good job good job she has

retaliated before certainly but it's

nice to see that she's

matured a little bit over the course of

the season with all that's happened to

her

let's go push it

and the warriors continue to toss it

around the perimeter they like to look

for cheryl baines in situations like

this baines gets it out on the wing

beautiful spin moving ash is inside for

a buck what a great basket

by cheryl unbelievable another great

play by baines

unionville continuing to get a good

night from mallory there's two more from

her and back and forth they go

now daniel blackstone with the ball off

to harrison on the wing blackstone will

set the screen

foul you [ __ ] jerry sit

down and remember everybody signed that

pledge tonight

second's winding down now unionville

going for the win mallory will take the

final shot will it go

in time it's overtime folks and what

started out as a relatively meaningless

game

has turned into a real barn burner

brandon uh with all the ups and downs

that the lady warriors claimed

it seemed somehow fitting that they

would come right to the end

why not all right women now the game

begins

these next few minutes of basketball are

more important than any championship

okay for you as a team

this could be one of those perfect

moments you will treasure for the rest

of your lives

so you just forget about the rest of the

world and you play your hearts out

do it for you well danielle blackstone

is definitely back in form and leading

this team well she spotted cheryl baines

inside baines has position again

off the window and in two more for the

better bush is playing some great

basketball here

but union bella is answering back they

go to mallory once again her jump shot

is good

back and forth they go carly harrison at

center court a behind-the-back pass

but it doesn't hurt them this time

blackstone gets it to washington she's

off the class with two more

again below posted goes and james is

there for two more what a game for

baines she's

actually 18 points it's a two-point

spread now one is trailed by

two unions now looking for mallory it's

kicked off by carly harrison she's gotta

make this layup to tie it

down she goes can't she make it he got

carly harrison up and

yes good and she was found

maybe a foul shot still to come yes it

is to come the horn has gone to end the

game

but carly harris will be on the line

with a chance to win it what a pressure

situation for a young player

can she make this foul shot so it all

comes down to this dan after a crazy

season for the lady warriors and for

young carly harrison here she is on the

foul line

this is as you mentioned it was a

meaningless game but it turned into a

thriller now she's got a chance to win

it all

just needs to hit this free throw and

she has a chance to claim

the victory for the lady warriors

shooting one now

free throws

free throws and ball games free throws

win ball games

free throws

yes
