who can make absolutely anything into an

adventure

[Music]

if we're lucky

one of those fearless generous souls

shows us how it's done

how to live

[Music]

accept

sometimes it doesn't feel like luck

sometimes it feels like they were sent

from above as a gift to the rest of us

because when someone like that finds you

and somehow chooses you as their friend

it makes you think that you can fly

[Music]

or at the very least

it helps you get through high school

which when you're 17

is kind of everything

of course it was line who always seemed

like she was about to take flight

like she might bound out of her seat at

any moment

[Music]

unless the girls come to you and want to

house i'm holding practice tomorrow

afternoon at 3 45 you want to shut me

down you know where i'll be

just stayed where i was

japanese eat like this

i like to lay it all out

get a look at the whole lunch landscape

what are you doing coach

my alarm went off this morning look it

always does 5 59

rolled right back over didn't want to

get out of bed

and i heard this annoying voice in my

head

caroline's voice

do work today son

with everything going on in her life she

played volleyball

like we need to play volleyball

now

now

why me you're a best friend

girls are looking at you to see if it's

okay to play again please

don't put this on me prez

sorry

i just did

we're talking every night

so pick up your

keep going promise your flight

i love you

too

we'll see you soon bye dad

[Music]

hi everyone you've reached the found

please leave a message after the beat

for ernie ellen and liner dog

headliner dog

hey ernie

just wanted to check up on you buddy

i know i said to take as much time as

you need but

nothing soothes the soul like medical

paperwork right

and god bless her she lived more life in

her 17 years than most do in a lifetime

what i'm trying to say is i'm here for

you buddy okay so if you need me to pick

you up some food or

you just want to talk

you need some company at church just

give me a call and i'll be there i'm not

sure church is exactly where i want to

be right now god hasn't exactly shown up

for me lately

hi everyone you've reached the bounds

please leave a message after the beat

for ernie ellen and liner dog

[Music]

sweetheart you never called me that

i'm not letting you start now

sit down

make a cup of tea

did you get into that science lab you

wanted i think i remember caroline i

knew that line had the moped

and

i knew she was taking it to the hospital

if i had told you if

you're gonna hear my list of ifs

if

i could have gotten the stereo to work

blind's battery wouldn't have died

and maybe should have driven her car

if i brought her to visit ellen that day

maybe she's just gone to bed after the

party

if i hadn't taken such a hard line

on

mopeds

i could have at least made sure she wore

a helmet

so

there's no end to the ifs

what are we gonna do ernie

all the handouts say to channel your

anger and guilt into something

this is all i found

maybe you can find something better

the trojans football team won last night

24-17

and last night's volleyball game against

city high was another loss

due to forfeit

morning everybody

i just wanted to say

that that last announcement

well it sucked

line would have hated it

giving up a game without a fight and a

city

the thought of

playing volleyball again makes me almost

physically ill but

i'm gonna do it

i'm gonna go to practice today because

it's what line would have wanted me to

do

and i hope the rest of the team joins me

today too because the thing is

i don't want lion to ever hear again

that we lost the game for not showing up

[Music]

well physically they're all here

mentally i'd say they're 10

certainly don't think they're ready for

a game on saturday

all right everybody huddle up

let's go let's go huddle up

i know being here is tough

but believe me you're going to be glad

you have something else to focus on

we're all hurting

but here you can take that hurt and

apply it to the game you love to play

what do you say no time like right now

here we go okay guys defensive box drill

let's go

can't do the drill without a center

coach okay new plan

pepper drill 20 consecutive hits here we

go

nice it's here you count it

is anybody gonna get that

i don't know if we can do this coach

just being here that's enough

you all know caroline found never cried

on this court and neither will any of

you anybody's upset they need to cry

they can do it outside the lines

we'll get there

[Music]

one two three

[Music]

are you going to practice tomorrow

i don't even know if there's going to be

one

bres thinks that

people are looking to me

to keep the team going

well what do you think

i think that lion could do it if it was

her but

i'm not as strong as her

lying brought out your inner strength

she really did but remember

you can't bring out something that isn't

already there

the last thing that lyon said to me was

that this was going to be

our year

she was going to play hard and she was

going to dedicate every single game to

her mom

and i know that our odds aren't good

without liner but

even if we could win just one game

shouldn't we try

[Music]

does that sound good to you guys

we can talk all day about what we want

the only way to make that happen is to

bust our butts in here

first thing we got to do is find us a

new setter

usually takes three to five years to

groom a new setter we don't have that

kind of time now do we

all right let's work

scotty they're all yours okay line up

setting is about precision doesn't

matter how good your hitters are unless

the setter can get them the ball exactly

where they need

it nice

so

losing every game of the season is that

uh you're bad for an assistant coach's

career

all right mac you're up

nice job bree you're up

she's not even looking

doesn't have to she can hear it the less

sound you make the better your hands are

nice job bree

come on kelly step in

you're gonna touch the ball every play

control who gets it when

where

how

you gotta feel out your hitters who's

hot who's cold

tell him

talk to him

lead

offense

defense

everything on that court runs through

you

all

right compared to what these are all the

plays

center has to know

i know our plays you guys oh you know

the plays that you ran and from the

receiving side now you need to know

which plays needs to be set higher

faster or with softer hands

good luck

see focus is the hardest part for me

i go to class but it's like all i hear

is that charlie brown teacher

going

[Music]

you know if it helps i'm actually a

pretty good charlie brown teacher

translator

but what you just said so you know was

the gettysburg address

uh

i just

i never thought that my senior year

would be like this you know

yeah

you know i only met her once

but she seemed like a great person line

was the best

the best

i really want to win this first game

back for her win or lose

you're making her proud

i know

the women of troy volleyball team head

to cedar rapids today for their first

game since losing their star player

caroline found we at wkcr and everyone

in iowa city wish them the best of luck

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

oh

[Applause]

[Music]

foreign

[Music]

[Music]

captains seniors you're our captains

let's go

ladies heads or tails

heads

stills

would you like side serve or receive

sir

it's all right ladies here we go

bring it in everybody everybody bring it

in

i want you to focus on playing

volleyball

nothing else just volleyball

you got it

got it okay

okay

west on

nine

for line

one two three four five six

[Applause]

you got this kelly this is what you do

good d good

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

and montgomery with a solid side out to

put the rams up by two

[Music]

yes

oh my looks like some miscommunication

the girls need to get this together this

game is slipping away from them

[Music]

[Applause]

leeler seems to be having a tough time

today finding her teammates for solid

sex

hold a part out there

we don't have anybody else get your feet

there kelly get your feet there

uh

[Applause]

and that's the game ladies and gentlemen

a win for montgomery in three straight

sets and a heartbreaker for the woman of

troy who just couldn't get much going

today without their star caroline found

it's just frustrating okay we're being

set up to fail literally give her a

break okay it's not like she wants to be

awful yeah but we're the ones who look

bad

she says it's like four feet beyond the

antennae it's like if we can't save it

it looks like it's our fault

and not to be mean but why is kelly one

of our co-captains if not for line i

don't think she'd even be a starter yeah

probably not

so what you want to tell her she's not

good enough to stand up there with the

rest of us it just sucks

that's all

it's not how to underline i know back

[Music]

ernie

hello

wonderful to see you hello

that looks good

you bought it at target

yeah thanks

you hmm more champagne oh don't ask i'll

just take it

oh hardest part for me

is getting used to the quiet

liner was a sworn enemy of pauses in

conversation you're not kidding

she was uh fearless wasn't she

and everything she did

just dove right in headfirst

took it on

without thinking

homecoming games coming up soon ernie i

think it would mean a lot to the girls

if you were there if you can handle it

not to say there's anything wrong

if you can't okay yeah i know what you

mean

okay

it's good to see you ernie

how's the team looking

the truth

please

i ate last year

how many games you got left

15.

how many wins do you have to have to

qualify for stay 15.

what do you think my daughter would say

to us if she was sitting at this table

only 15.

nice

pretty intense practice schedule huh

good talk

bring it in

you are defending state champions

every team out there is hungry to eat

you alive

do you think when we travel to cedar

falls that they're going to take it easy

on you because they see how upset you

are

they'll coach

mack

served as zone one and practice is over

if you miss

we run ladders

let's go

jump serve

really you lead our team in a surge you

should be able to do this blindfolded

okay line up

don't be last

bree

zone one or two ladders

server needs to be able to put the ball

on the court exactly where the coach

tells him to

lizzie b served the ball to zone one or

five ladders

you think this is pressure how are you

gonna win our next game if you can't

even handle practice

serve the ball to zone one

and we're done

if you miss

15 ladders for everyone

understood

[Music]

[Music]

high into the outside good number 31

low set to middle blocker perfect

now let's uh let's test those reflexes

come on

you're so weird is an important part of

your training

okay gotta get back to work

volleyball

all right

ready the trick is to keep it close to

the ambers and not the flames

that way it doesn't catch fire

i have to tell you something

i didn't want it

and if you want me to step down i will

but

res made me sadder

and you're doing a fine job of it

when i didn't see you at the games

i thought that you were

maybe mad that i'm like

i don't know taking her spot you didn't

take her spot you couldn't do that

you took a position and you're making it

your own

and i'm right behind you

100

and i may be the surgeon but you're the

healer out there

[Music]

[Music]

why am i more nervous for this than the

first game we played

because winning homecoming is a matter

of school honor it's just another game

with fanfare and huge visibility in

every boy you ever wanted to date

watching it's still a game ladies we're

gonna show up and play let's go

meantime

ladies and here they come

you're

reigning champions

the women

[Applause]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

season schedule

good morning to you too i'll wait while

you get it

okay got it tell me what you see

oh i know there's typos but it's not

like we're the english department what's

the caliber of the next team we're

facing on the weaker side and the next

one and the one after that

i look where you're going with this

our next five games are against the

weakest teams in the division

long as we keep our emotions in check

we'll take them out without much trouble

and with momentum and that confidence

the next half dozen wins are very doable

too which means if we run the board

we got a shot at state

you mean to win

i mean to win

we could win

for a line

for caroline

yeah but wait how many is the board

14.

you serious

yep i'm serious

so hey

i was thinking since you pick who gets

each ball

if it's a clutch play maybe go to

someone else usually hitters ask for

more plays that's how you get better

i know

because i don't want to be the reason

that we don't win for a line

don't let it be me okay

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

this is

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

bye

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

oh come on it was right here

good we're good

god i hope it's not him in the finals

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

hey

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

and then the improbable happened the

women of west started winning games one

after another and if they win here

tonight they'll be headed back to state

next week as quarter finalists

and a chance to honor their lost captain

caroline

it's a strong team out there but they

are not as strong as you

we keep our heads in the game and we can

win this

proline

west stone two one two

[Applause]

west is two points away from victory as

kelly fleeler heads back

[Applause]

[Music]

but it

[Music]

to the end of the was

yes coach

west is in control of this game and if

they win this set they win the match

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

point

[Applause]

they're not looking at it yeah i think i

got this one a little stress you can't

lose momentum tell not only one ball

from state okay go again i'll push it

further out okay okay come on guys

white oak is just one point away from

tying it up west needs this point to win

wayne hearts

[Music]

[Applause]

unbelievable a 15-game win streak

western

long overdue

thanks

caroline

i can't blame him for wanting her back

she's a keeper

[Music]

so

[Music]

[Music]

this is a team that was absolutely

demolished by montgomery earlier this

season but they're playing like a whole

new squad right now

way to reach your ears

[Applause]

senior center kelly fleeler is back to

serve for game

[Music]

[Music]

west high dominates this quarterfinal

match to advance to the 70s

and what a game we've got here both

teams battling first plot in the state

finals

both are within easy reach of the magic

15 points to win here in game five

[Music]

[Applause]

one good pass ladies

[Applause]

and west is one point away from the

state finals

[Music]

[Music]

[Applause]

who would have thought that this team

would be back in the state championship

after the roller coaster ride that

they've been through this season

[Applause]

[Music]

now a tough match against city highs

ahead but west high has an awful lot to

celebrate tonight

hey ernie it's me kelly

i'm just really missing lying today and

i thought i might visit the barn hideout

tonight

let me know if that's okay

what do you think

just this one

[Music]

the barn is always where i went with

caroline when i needed everything to be

okay

and right then everything wasn't

the closer we got to state the more

scared i was that

we'd come up short

that i'd come up short

winning for line was everything so

losing for line

was unthinkable

[Music]

so

not win for line not do it for line but

live

like line

[Music]

hey hey

uh

i'm sorry for being totally m.i.a lately

but

there's something pretty important that

i have to do right now and i was on my

way there

and then somehow i was on my way here

and

it's because i realized i wanted you

there too

i mean if you're not doing anything

right now

uh well i was pretty busy sleeping

but uh right

yeah of course i'm sorry i'm sorry i

don't uh i don't even i don't know what

i'm doing here okay

stupid

[Music]

where are we going tears

[Music]

[Music]

what

i like seeing you lead

team's lucky to have you

you got a plan yeah you go up i hand you

stuff i like that

ever since

[Music]

what is that did you make that

[Music]

hey ernie's having a party at this place

tonight yeah i know

guys are invited

you know in a good way

ernie

we're not champions yet

sure you are

that's what this is about tonight

you are champions to me

i'm proud of you guys

well

we finished the story the story right

okay so i

went to pick up the

pizza and

the pizza man behind the counter he

looks at this shirt he says what's that

shirt what does that mean

and um

i said to him how much time have you got

and i told him

that i married a woman

who

she knew how to love

and

she could see the good in

in anyone in anything she ever met and

she gave that to our daughter and

caroline knew how to

live

maybe a little too much sometimes

listen

you guys what you've done you brought

this town together it's amazing

caroline would

be so proud to be here with you and

win or lose

it doesn't matter

too caroline yeah

you're here

to sweet caroline

where it began

can't begin to know it but then i know

it's growing strong

sweet caroline

[Music]

good times

is

i

know

i'm sorry

for putting so much pressure on you guys

i don't know how you managed carrying

all that weight

how you managed

to not just

play but do it with

grace

i

i told you to win for a line

as if that would somehow

make sense of why she died or

how much all of us

hurt

but now i think that we should

if we want to show how much we miss her

we should

just play

with joy

so

can we just do that

[Laughter]

[Music]

i used to bite my tongue and hold my

[Music]

i let you push me past the breaking

point

teachers

even lowly coach

to lime they all meant the same thing

city with a dominant start west can't

get their offense going around that

massive block that city is putting up

[Applause]

[Applause]

[Music]

and west is down two cents to none and

the state championship is just one set

away for city

i got a heck of a run

we really did

mine would have said it was epic

we need more touches at the net they're

killing us there i'll run the sixes

closer to the antenna and throw them off

adjustment let's shut them down

should go back to setting mostly to

mackenzie maybe that's the only way we

have a shot they've been blocking me too

what you can handle when you're the

right person at the right time
