It had more adult content than I had expected. I did not expect the life drama of child sexual abuse and teenage pregnancy. I watched with my 13 year old daughter and 10 year old son. It would have been good to know before hand that thoese topics were included. It was good, just more information that expected. I had hoped for a good, high school girls, basketball movie.
This film goes courtside to present a true-life passionate and inspirational documentary of the Roosevelt Roughriders girls' basketball team during six turbulent seasons. Bill Resler, a former tax professor now turned hard-driving unorthodox coach, is spotlighted in his attempts to turn his team around. The star of the team is an inner-city tough girl whose battles off the court threatens her eligibility to play. The rest of the team is full of drive, toughness, and the unabridged desire to make history. This is an exciting film that will grab and retain your interest if you like drama, sports, or just plain old good acting. I rated the film as "good" but it verged upon excellence for me. See it for your self and draw your own conclusions, but one thing is sure...you will remember this film and think of it often. Reviewed by John W.

An little known sports tale about a girls basketball team at a Seattle high school. Intersting look as the story unfolded, interviews were honest and reflective. Predictable sports movie but you will be cheering them to the end. Bought it for middles school class, but becuase of the f+++ and s+++ words won't be able to show to the class. The words are not thrown about but once is enough to eliminate from clas use.
