it's basically the story of cornfed white kids triumphing over scary innercity Black kids.
in other words: a ready-made Soulstrut thread!
c'mon dude, that was a great movie based on a true story....and you are talking about 1 scene. btw, "scary"??? they were portrayed as being very, very good....and the only team that Hickory faced in the entire film that were good sports after they lost.
A gripping tale of young women determined to oil up their mitts, take firm hold of the wood and explode onto their field of dreams.
The locker room scene with Alicia Rio is a real tearjerker. Batter UP!
(I rented this movie when I was 18. I went back to return it three days later only to find that the video store was out of business. They left a note saying to mail the videos to a different address. Sheeeeeeit.)
