﻿1
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:06,290
This program was founded
on certain ideals.

2
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:10,122
They have been drowned by the noise
and distraction of fame.

3
00:01:10,320 --> 00:01:13,767
We got lost, caught up in the hype...

4
00:01:13,960 --> 00:01:16,088
the celebrity, the glory...

5
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:20,449
and the relentless pressure
to keep the streak alive.

6
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:42,169
The sophomore goes back
to set up the screen for Tucker.

7
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:44,328
Tucker got a block. Tucker has space.

8
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:46,522
- Tucker breaks a tackle.
- What a move!

9
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:48,927
Forty-five up the middle.
One man to beat.

10
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:53,170
Throwing one deep down the middle,
going for Jones. Touchdown De La Salle!

11
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:55,283
Absolutely unbelievable.

12
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:59,121
The greatest high-school performance
I've seen in 15 years.

13
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:01,926
De La Salle High
has won three titles in a row.

14
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:04,646
Their 48th consecutive victory.

15
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,844
To the fans, it's quickly becoming known
as "The Streak."

16
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:12,045
Tonight, they break a 22-year-old win
record held by a Michigan high school.

17
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:14,846
Talking about streaks,
there's a lot of pressure...

18
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:17,122
Coach Lad has done an amazing job.

19
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:20,887
De La Salle has been winning
for the past 11 years, straight.

20
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:38,567
Welcome to the 2003 Northern
Conference Sectional Championships...

21
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:42,725
where powerhouse De La Salle
brings their 150-game win streak...

22
00:02:42,920 --> 00:02:45,764
against their rivals,
the Pirates of Pittsburg High.

23
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,125
- Hey, Bob. Bob.
- Marty, you live under the stadium?

24
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:52,243
Bob, 25 years coaching this team...

25
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:56,525
favored to win your 12th championship,
150 wins. How did you pull it off?

26
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:58,802
Well, winning a lot of games is doable.

27
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,685
Teaching kids there's more to life,
that's hard.

28
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:04,645
Come on. You turned this team
into a winning machine.

29
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,411
How long you think
you can keep the streak alive?

30
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:09,602
The streak was never our goal.

31
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,121
Yeah?
Well, then, why do you keep winning?

32
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,971
This program's a lot of things.

33
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:18,884
It's not just a football team,
or win-streak machine.

34
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:22,404
It's a family.

35
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,888
A brotherhood which is based in love.

36
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:27,809
Put simply...

37
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:32,608
love means you can count on me,
in good times and in bad.

38
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:38,723
Ladies and gentlemen, here to play for
their 12th straight championship win...

39
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,571
the De La Salle Spartans.

40
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:44,009
Go Spartans!

41
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:47,722
I love this part.
Totally freaks out the other team.

42
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:52,082
I know I'm not supposed to say this,
let alone think it.

43
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,362
This streak's our legacy.

44
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:58,448
We will never experience
anything like this again in our lives.

45
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:00,927
You guys are all my family...

46
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:04,442
but after tomorrow night,
this will never be like this again.

47
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:07,524
I'll never forget my time on this team,
or with you.

48
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:08,966
Spartans for life!

49
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:10,650
Spartans for life!

50
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:16,127
Streak, streak, streak!

51
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:20,649
Terrance Kelly takes the opening kickoff
on the five-yard line. Gets a block.

52
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:24,482
Terrance Kelly
is the best prospect on the field.

53
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,445
Sees a wedge
and shoots up the middle over the 40.

54
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:29,563
Brought down on the 49-yard line.

55
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:31,770
All right, I got Cam's card.

56
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:36,210
"Training goal: Five extra gassers
after practice every day." Done.

57
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:39,721
"Practice goal: Catch every ball."
Perfect.

58
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:43,363
"Game goal: 200 yards receiving,
two touchdowns...

59
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,040
and average 15 yards
after every catch."

60
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:50,010
Did you hear that?
That is a perfect commitment card.

61
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:54,683
Big goals that stretch his abilities,
but doable when giving a perfect effort.

62
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:56,882
- You go get those, Cam.
- Yes, sir.

63
00:04:57,080 --> 00:05:00,527
Gonzales throws a long, deep ball
to Cam Colvin...

64
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:06,120
who out-jumps the defenders
for De La Salle's first score of the game.

65
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:08,966
Colvin is a coveted
Division 1 prospect...

66
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:12,283
who's drawing interest
from top programs in the country.

67
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:16,280
Not asking you to be perfect every play.
What we're asking of you...

68
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:19,051
and what you should be asking
of each other...

69
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:22,164
is to give a perfect effort
from snap to whistle.

70
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:26,406
Cam Colvin just pitched the ball
back to Kelly.

71
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,206
The most athletic play
I've seen all year.

72
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:33,325
I got T.K.'s card. "Three extra sets,
cleans, every day after practice."

73
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:36,530
Blue 18! Set, hut!

74
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:40,286
Throw the ball!

75
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:42,521
Yeah, that's it!

76
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:45,726
- I got Howard's card.
- This is Jimmy's card.

77
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,651
- Nice! Great block.
- "Two hundred fifty push-ups...

78
00:05:48,840 --> 00:05:51,844
- ...after workout."
- "Get to the second level on sweeps."

79
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:54,167
I have Chris' card.

80
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:57,762
"Training commitment: Ten extra
tire drags after practice every day.

81
00:05:58,000 --> 00:05:59,764
Game goal:
Two running touchdowns."

82
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:03,288
Their middle linebacker's
gonna be covering you, Chris.

83
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:05,528
You have way more speed than him.

84
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:07,762
Gonzales, under center,
takes the snap.

85
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,645
Pitches out to Ryan,
who's got room to run.

86
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:14,611
Sheds a tackle.

87
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:20,849
In for the touchdown,
which makes the score 27 to nothing.

88
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:24,522
So, Mickey, does Chris wanna break
this record as bad as you?

89
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:28,327
- Yeah, he's getting there.
- Thanks. Good block, good block.

90
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,840
You see number 34? Ryan?

91
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:34,889
Chris Ryan? Write that name down.

92
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:38,602
When Cam Colvin and Terrance Kelly
are gone, he's the whole team.

93
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:42,168
I mention he's gonna break
the state's scoring record next year?

94
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:46,160
If there's anything anyone wants to say,
now is your shot.

95
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:51,845
Look, I just wanna say...

96
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:55,169
in my four years here
I played a lot of games.

97
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:59,604
But none is more important to me
than tomorrow's. My last game.

98
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:01,924
I love you, guys.

99
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:04,805
We always say to finish strong, right?

100
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,128
Tomorrow I'm playing
for Cam's mom...

101
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:11,084
who loves this team
almost as much as Cam does.

102
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:12,765
Love you, boy.

103
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:14,962
Love you too, man.

104
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:21,282
I know some of you guys
already know this, but most of you don't.

105
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:25,367
My grandfather has cancer.

106
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:30,841
He can't come to our practices anymore,
he can't even make the games.

107
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:34,682
But every day, he waits for me
to get back from practice...

108
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:37,724
just so I can tell him
how we're doing.

109
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:40,883
As simple as that sounds...

110
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:44,243
that's one of the things
that keeps him going.

111
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:49,841
You know,
our progress keeps him going.

112
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:53,289
I'm grateful for that.

113
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:56,643
None of the juniors share their emotions.
Just the seniors.

114
00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:59,446
- I know.
- Second string, you're in.

115
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:02,246
Coach Bob Ladouceur
is putting in his juniors.

116
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:04,602
These young men
have big shoes to fill...

117
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:08,202
if they plan on continuing
this undefeated streak.

118
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:14,207
Tayshon Lanear
missed an easy block...

119
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:17,244
- ...Chris Ryan pays the price.
- Let's hit out there!

120
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:20,250
Yo, Tayshon.
If it isn't too much to ask, pick it up.

121
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:25,321
- 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 --> 00:08:28,450
Hey, easy, little Lad.
Your pops is the coach, not you.

123
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:32,371
Hut!

124
00:08:36,560 --> 00:08:38,642
Go Ryan! Bring it in!

125
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:44,725
- Chris Ryan with another great run.
- Attaboy, Chris!

126
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:48,049
- Huh, 34.
- Yeah.

127
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:50,368
Four, three, two, one!

128
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:58,600
De La Salle! De La Salle! De La Salle!

129
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:07,284
De La Salle pushes their winning streak
to 151 games.

130
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:09,284
We're number one!
We're number one!

131
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:11,090
De La Salle's streak
continues.

132
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:14,688
We're number one!
We're number one!

133
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:21,644
Streak! Streak! Streak!

134
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:26,810
Great game, coach.

135
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:29,811
Half a dozen schools want us
to come for official visits.

136
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:33,044
- He deserves it, Mr. Kelly.
- Thank you, coach. Great job.

137
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:36,164
- Hey, T-Gram.
- Great job, Coach Ladouceur.

138
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:38,089
Hey, this is crazy.

139
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:40,685
There's my baby.

140
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:44,601
T-Gram! That's cool.

141
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:48,246
Get off of me, you big bugger.

142
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:49,527
- Pops.
- Great job.

143
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:51,882
- Good stuff. I love you.
- Love you too.

144
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:53,844
- Hey, coach.
- You're doing it.

145
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:56,646
You're doing it.
Getting my baby out of Richmond.

146
00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:59,650
- He's a very special young man.
- Thank you.

147
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:02,844
T-Gram, I'm gonna come see you
every chance I get, right?

148
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:05,401
I don't want you back
in that Richmond mess.

149
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:07,090
We coming to see you.

150
00:10:13,680 --> 00:10:16,923
Quitter! Hey.

151
00:10:17,560 --> 00:10:18,686
Hey, boss.

152
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:25,444
- Morning, coach. Keep the streak alive.
- Morning, Pete. The streak alive, yeah.

153
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:32,088
Michael, cut it out. All right? Seriously.

154
00:10:32,680 --> 00:10:34,330
You kidding me?

155
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:36,610
- I'll break that.
- Guys, guys!

156
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:39,849
Come here! Give me that horn!
Come back here, you little...

157
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:43,369
Here he is. Good run?

158
00:10:43,560 --> 00:10:45,210
- Hey, Terry.
- Hey, there he is.

159
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:48,771
Cal State. What do they want?

160
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:51,128
It's just a coaching offer.

161
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:56,810
You're throwing it in the trash?
A job offer. We don't get to talk about it?

162
00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:00,209
College coaching. It's not what I do.

163
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:03,609
But we should at least discuss it, Bob.

164
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:08,162
- Terry.
- Hey, great pancakes.

165
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:10,446
Wow, okay.

166
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:13,371
You, Louis Armstrong, in your room.
Practice.

167
00:11:13,560 --> 00:11:15,369
You, million things to do.

168
00:11:15,560 --> 00:11:18,928
Gotta take the tree down.
I've been up since 5. I'm just like...

169
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:21,248
Make sure your room is clean,
Michael.

170
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:24,046
You should at least consider it, Bob.

171
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:28,523
Great pancakes.

172
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:38,760
He acts like it doesn't mean anything
to him...

173
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:42,521
but he's got a diary,
just counting down the TDs.

174
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:44,649
- A diary?
- She's a chronic liar.

175
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:46,888
- A very, very ill young woman.
- Really?

176
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:48,411
Did I mention delusional?

177
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:51,689
- You have a diary.
- It's a playbook. At least my earrings...

178
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:55,805
- ...aren't bigger than my girlfriend's.
- Sure. Okay. That's mean, but true.

179
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,401
Yo, my fellow Spartans.

180
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:01,411
I gotta mind my etiquette.

181
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:06,561
You're officially Captain Chris I'm-Gonna-
Break-the-State-TD-Scoring-Record now.

182
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:09,286
Well, at least the vote was based
on ability...

183
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:11,642
not family connections, little Lad.

184
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:14,969
Like how I'm gonna be starting
wide receiver and not you?

185
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:18,164
Hey, man. It's cool. We'll see.

186
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:23,850
Oh, look out. Here comes the luckiest
cornhusker in Contra Costa County.

187
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:25,326
- Beasie!
- What's up?

188
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:28,967
- How's it going, fellas?
- Hey, girls.

189
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:31,403
My big man on the line.

190
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:33,642
- Gotta bring it for me.
- To the house.

191
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,525
- Okay.
- Okay, okay.

192
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:39,530
- I'm gonna go freshen up. Wanna come?
- Yes.

193
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:42,326
- How much fresher can she get?
- Too fresh for you.

194
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:43,931
Sassy.

195
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:48,848
Why do they do that? Go together.

196
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:52,004
- How did you get with her?
- She asked me out.

197
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:55,283
- She asked him out.
- Tell me you're jumping all over that.

198
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:57,642
No, we're... We're waiting.

199
00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:00,402
- They're waiting.
- Yeah.

200
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:02,682
- For what?
- The big day.

201
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:04,763
We took a purity pledge.

202
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:08,362
Son. What's the name of the cult
that you're in?

203
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:10,125
Pleasant Hill Baptist.

204
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:17,803
That boy's taken one too many shots
to the head.

205
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:20,886
Sounds like all the other college offers.

206
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:22,206
- A nice house?
- Yeah.

207
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:25,649
The kids going to college for free?
What was I thinking?

208
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:29,049
Look, the players are handpicked,
self-motivated, smart...

209
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:33,888
eyes fixed on their bright futures.
They don't need what I do, Bev.

210
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:37,249
They don't need a coach
who knows the game inside and out?

211
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:41,161
Who knows how to teach kids
to become honorable, accountable men...

212
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:42,600
with self-worth?

213
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:47,050
Bob, you do it and I've watched you do it
brilliantly since I was 23 years old.

214
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:49,208
I wouldn't be helping anyone.

215
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:54,443
I mean, shouldn't it be easier?
Don't you deserve that?

216
00:13:54,680 --> 00:13:56,887
I've seen the schedule
for college coaches.

217
00:13:57,080 --> 00:13:59,970
You think it'd be easier, less grueling?
It would not.

218
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:02,322
You don't know. How do you know?

219
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:07,206
I just want you happy and healthy...

220
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:12,689
and yeah, home every once in a while,
just playing football with your own kids.

221
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:15,281
Going for a stupid walk
for hot chocolate...

222
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:18,484
maybe more than, you know,
twice a decade.

223
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:23,481
You... You're gonna get your record,
bro.

224
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:25,682
Even if Mickey has to steal it.

225
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:27,285
Forget about your dad.

226
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:30,529
You're 37 touchdowns away
from breaking a state record.

227
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:32,842
All right, it's about you.

228
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:35,890
Us.

229
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:39,088
- Our year.
- Our year.

230
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:42,520
- Hold them high, boys. Hold them high.
- T.K.

231
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:45,923
- What's up, big guy?
- To your year. Chris, you...

232
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:52,404
You're captain now. My man Danny
over here, he grew up on the team.

233
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:54,967
Has all the credit,
he doesn't need a title.

234
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:56,440
Kind of makes me wonder.

235
00:14:57,560 --> 00:14:58,766
About what?

236
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:02,083
If it's gonna be your year,
or some other team's year.

237
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:05,011
- K, we haven't lost a game...
- I know, believe me.

238
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:09,603
I'm just saying, you guys gotta
open your eyes. You ain't ready.

239
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:12,410
On skills, you have half the team we did.

240
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:16,326
On attitude, most of y'all got big heads
or just wanna wear the jersey.

241
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:19,689
So you gotta step up.
You gotta become real leaders.

242
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:24,044
You have to motivate your players
to get their game even tighter than ours.

243
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:26,604
Next year is on you.

244
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:31,210
Take care, boys.

245
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:32,447
- Peace, man.
- Yeah.

246
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:42,040
It's time to deal
with the De La Salle problem.

247
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:46,651
Last year, De La Salle out-scored
league opponents...

248
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:49,406
".326 to 27.

249
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:54,003
Their average score
against league teams was 47 to 4.

250
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:58,166
How, Bob? How are we supposed
to compete against a program...

251
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:01,762
that pulls in the best players
with the wave of a scholarship?

252
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:03,291
For the hundredth time...

253
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:07,605
De La Salle High's code of conduct
forbids scholarshipping athletes.

254
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:11,282
Explain to me why
the best wide receiver in my district...

255
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:14,051
rides a bus for a solid hour
up to De La Salle.

256
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:17,204
Our program attracts great athletes,
plain and simple.

257
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:21,849
No matter how you get your players,
you're stacking your team with talent.

258
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:24,560
- That's not cheating?
- Let me get this straight.

259
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:27,286
You wanna penalize
us for building a winning program?

260
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:32,726
I'm done with this! Nobody wins 151
football games straight without cheating.

261
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:36,845
We will not play De La Salle
next season.

262
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:45,490
Great. Done.
We don't wanna play you either.

263
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:47,883
We'll play our five league games...

264
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:52,483
then we'll fill our open slots with
tougher teams from bigger conferences.

265
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:56,207
Gee, seems like I heard
the 49ers already have a full schedule.

266
00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:57,845
Who's left?

267
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:00,131
Long Beach Poly.

268
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:08,565
Eidson, Poly's the number-one
high-school team in Southern California.

269
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:10,364
Yeah. Isn't it great?

270
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:12,327
Poly?

271
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:15,126
- We talked about this.
- Never said you set it up.

272
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:17,926
Nationally, we're number one.
They're number two.

273
00:17:18,120 --> 00:17:20,646
They've been trying to get us
on their schedule.

274
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:22,171
They're not afraid of us.

275
00:17:22,360 --> 00:17:26,251
Guys, can't wait to see you play Poly.

276
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:27,606
Good luck.

277
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:33,882
You can thank me later.

278
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:37,490
In Luke 6:38...

279
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:40,411
Luke says,
"Give and it will be given to you.

280
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:44,328
Good measure, pressed down,
shaken together and running over...

281
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:46,488
will be poured into your lap...

282
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:51,447
for with the measure you use,
it will be measured to you."

283
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:55,562
Any idea what Luke is saying here?
Arturo?

284
00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:58,201
You reap what you sow.

285
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:01,449
Like, whatever you do, good or bad,
comes back to you.

286
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:03,921
Anyone else think you give to others...

287
00:18:04,120 --> 00:18:07,169
and the blessing is returned
in equal measure?

288
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:09,090
Salinas.

289
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:12,841
I've worked hard to do the right thing,
and I've been blessed.

290
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:16,044
- How's that?
- Getting to play on the streak team.

291
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:20,447
You ain't in line to be starting
quarterback on the streak team...

292
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:22,802
because you've done the right thing.

293
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:26,049
It's because you're 6'2"
with a cannon for an arm.

294
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:29,563
So, Tayshon, what do you believe?

295
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:34,249
Well, down where I sleep, the dealers
in Richmond make mad money.

296
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:37,967
My aunt was an ER nurse.
Worked her whole life helping people.

297
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:41,004
Time came for her to get hers,
they up and fired her...

298
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:43,680
six months
before they gotta pay her retirement.

299
00:18:44,120 --> 00:18:47,806
Dog-eat-dog. Take what you need.
They don't care how good you've been.

300
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:51,891
You sitting around waiting for somebody
to pay you back, you going hungry.

301
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:56,961
So why does a guy like Luke, who's a
doctor, painter, writer, historian...

302
00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:59,527
take the time to invent a lie?

303
00:18:59,880 --> 00:19:01,086
It ain't a lie.

304
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:05,640
Your pops dies, five-O puts your mom
on trial for it when, oops...

305
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:07,842
our bad, the shipyard poisoned him.

306
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:11,084
Pressure gives her a stroke
and now she ain't got long.

307
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:13,169
Easy. Everyone knows the story.

308
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:15,366
So tell me, homey.

309
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:18,882
You really been that bad
to deserve all that's come your way?

310
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:21,446
Can I speak to Cam?

311
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:23,087
Cam.

312
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:48,290
Yo, Coach Lad.

313
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:50,050
Yo, Jamal.

314
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:53,404
Cool, thanks.

315
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:56,888
Coach.
You know how you like to talk and talk...

316
00:19:57,240 --> 00:19:59,288
- ...and sometimes holler?
- That's right.

317
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:02,165
And one time,
Cam said you said the S-word.

318
00:20:02,360 --> 00:20:03,566
I remember that time.

319
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:08,283
Well, here, you gotta be real quiet.
My mom's resting.

320
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:09,845
Not a peep.

321
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:23,490
- Hey, coach.
- Cam, look.

322
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:26,800
Man, that is tight.

323
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:29,642
Watch Mama, all right?

324
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:32,728
See, Mama?

325
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:36,445
How is she?

326
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:40,050
The nurse say...

327
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:43,042
it's just a matter of time.

328
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:47,921
And that's it.
That's the last of my Mohicans.

329
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:50,728
You have Jamal.

330
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:54,207
The boy don't know it yet...

331
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:57,410
but he's going down to San Jose,
stay with my cousin.

332
00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:01,286
They should be good to him,
but ain't got no room for me.

333
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:04,801
I got nobody left.

334
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:10,245
Well, family isn't just blood relatives.

335
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:14,208
It's anyone
who loves you unconditionally.

336
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:21,970
"To Coach Lad...

337
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:26,681
I promise to live the rest of my days
by the lessons you taught me.

338
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:30,248
'Give and it shall be given to you...

339
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:35,170
for whatever measure you use, it shall
be measured back to you in equal... "'

340
00:21:40,360 --> 00:21:43,125
Why is this happening to me, coach?

341
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:45,811
What did I do?

342
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:47,891
I'm trying.

343
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:49,764
I'm making my perfect effort.

344
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:52,645
It don't matter. Ain't enough.

345
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:55,122
What if Tayshon is right?

346
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:57,807
Maybe God don't see me,
or he don't care...

347
00:21:58,040 --> 00:21:59,963
because I ain't worth his time.

348
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:03,004
Don't make no sense, coach.

349
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:05,448
I'm alone.

350
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:07,927
I got nobody left.

351
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:09,526
No, you're not.

352
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:11,888
You've got Jamal...

353
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:15,531
me and 60 brothers.

354
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:30,365
I'm just gonna nap for 10 more minutes,
then get up.

355
00:23:37,120 --> 00:23:39,248
Don't snore.

356
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:47,207
I'm not laughing.

357
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:52,406
What did I ever see in you? Bob?

358
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:54,204
Bob? Bob?

359
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:57,521
Bob, Bob, please. Bob? Bob?

360
00:23:57,720 --> 00:23:59,290
Danny!

361
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:01,721
Bob, what's going on?
Bob? Oh, my God, Bob!

362
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:03,644
- Danny!
- Yeah, Mom.

363
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:05,888
Danny!

364
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:09,651
- Mom, what's wrong?
- Danny, please call 911!

365
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:11,962
- Oh, my God! Call 911!
- Mom! Morn!

366
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:16,450
- Dad? Where is the phone? It's not here.
- Danny, tell them it's a seizure.

367
00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:18,762
- Find the phone!
- Where is it?

368
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:24,127
Oh, my God. Look at me.
Look in my eyes. Look in my eyes.

369
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:27,130
Oh, my God, you okay?
You okay? Breathe.

370
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:42,369
- Hey, Amani. Thanks for coming.
- Hey, Amani.

371
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:45,964
- Oh, one for me. Just... Just one second.
- Cool.

372
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:48,527
Hey. Who's in there?

373
00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:52,645
Currently paying his respects
to the coach, Maurice Jones Drew.

374
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:54,730
No way.

375
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:58,322
Coach, make sure I get you tickets
to come see me, all right?

376
00:24:58,520 --> 00:24:59,965
I want 100 from you.

377
00:25:00,360 --> 00:25:01,771
I still can't believe it.

378
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:03,644
Coach Lad smoking.

379
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:09,251
- Mrs. Lad. Good seeing you.
- So great to see you.

380
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:13,644
- Take care of the big guy for me.
- Okay, I will. Thanks for coming, Maurice.

381
00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:16,684
- Hey, you.
- Hey, Dad.

382
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:19,162
Don't look so tough now, huh?

383
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:22,123
Mr. Ladouceur.

384
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:26,689
Eighty-three percent occlusion
in your PLA descending artery.

385
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:29,202
We call that the widow-maker.

386
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:31,971
- You're a very lucky man.
- Yeah.

387
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:35,642
- So, what happens next?
- Recuperation.

388
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:39,926
Near-term, I'll be happy
if you're in good condition by April.

389
00:25:40,120 --> 00:25:41,360
That's spring practice.

390
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:43,727
Not for you.

391
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:46,685
You've got five stents
and one shot to heal.

392
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:48,928
Stepping onto a field before summer?

393
00:25:49,120 --> 00:25:51,248
Don't even think about it.

394
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:55,650
Dad, you're gonna coach me
next season, right?

395
00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:58,004
Danny.

396
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:01,569
Danny.

397
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:04,726
Hey, Michael...

398
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:06,968
wanna go harass
some more doctors?

399
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:08,321
Come on.

400
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:14,282
Danny's just worried about you.
This really scared him.

401
00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:17,251
It's a lie.

402
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:20,041
What is?

403
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:25,205
Me. I got caught up in work
and the streak and let it nearly kill me.

404
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:28,171
I talk character, honesty, perfection...

405
00:26:28,360 --> 00:26:31,921
commit to each other, your teachers,
your friends, your family.

406
00:26:32,120 --> 00:26:34,009
Was I committed to you?

407
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:36,601
Was I committed to my children?

408
00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:40,725
I've been a lousy husband
and the worst dad.

409
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:45,801
Danny's not angry because he isn't
getting the chance to play for you.

410
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:50,764
He's angry
because he wants a chance to know you.

411
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:55,647
What do I do now?

412
00:26:57,240 --> 00:27:01,211
Spend as much time with your family
as you do the team.

413
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:09,448
See you later, babe. Call me tonight.

414
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:12,522
Hey, T.K. Heads up.

415
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:14,324
- Over here.
- Who wants it?

416
00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:15,646
- Me.
- All right.

417
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:18,366
- Me, me, me.
- Right here. Right here.

418
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:21,204
- What's all this?
- All for you.

419
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:24,768
This is Coach Little. The rules say
you can't keep any of it yet.

420
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:27,088
You're getting looks
from other schools.

421
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:29,487
Peek at what you look like in our gear.

422
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:32,524
If I'd have had these,
I'd have been All City.

423
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:33,960
Newest model from Nike.

424
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:37,607
Mrs. Kelly, maybe you wanna open
that last bubble package.

425
00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:39,931
Hey, what you got, T-Gram?

426
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:42,361
Diploma.

427
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:46,407
- With your name on it.
- What?

428
00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:50,728
What? What?

429
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:55,485
No matter what, four years from now,
when you have your real diploma...

430
00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:59,571
it will reward you and your family
for the rest of your life.

431
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:02,730
- Yeah, sure.
- So you've got a lot of offers.

432
00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:06,208
What's it gonna take to get you
to play for Oregon next year?

433
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:08,801
Say yes.

434
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:12,528
- Yes.
- Cam Colvin comes with me.

435
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:14,000
We offered a full ride.

436
00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:17,044
We know his mother passed away,
but haven't heard back.

437
00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:19,527
Done deal. Full ride.

438
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:22,851
Oh, we did it, man.

439
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:43,284
Yo, the great black hope.

440
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:45,847
- Cam here?
- He's in the back.

441
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:49,010
Y'all come on
and get something to eat now.

442
00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:03,171
- Oh, coz, what's up?
- What's up?

443
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:07,570
You get a full ride from Oregon
and dodge my calls. That's what's up.

444
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:10,929
Look, man, I ain't going to Oregon
or any place near you.

445
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:12,167
I'm going to Miami.

446
00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:13,486
Miami?

447
00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:16,001
- It's best for me.
- Best for you?

448
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:18,885
Since day one,
we've been doing what's best for us.

449
00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:20,411
You and me, together.

450
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:22,602
- We were 14.
- We were friends.

451
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:24,609
Whatever.

452
00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:27,408
Man, get up! I'm talking to you, dog!

453
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:31,286
Get off me! As smart as you are,
you don't know what you don't know!

454
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:34,804
You still got Landrin, T-Gram,
you got everybody.

455
00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:37,407
All I got left is Jamal.

456
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:40,524
I gotta make it to the league
so I can take care of him.

457
00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:44,447
- Cam, I know how hard this has been...
- Don't!

458
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:47,970
You're just making it harder.
Don't you see?

459
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:51,089
You see me?

460
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:54,281
I'm cursed.

461
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:57,448
Everyone I love...

462
00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:06,969
I can't lose nobody else, man.

463
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:13,046
T, I gotta let you go, man.

464
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:27,325
Man, you done lost a lot of folks,
Cam...

465
00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:30,240
but you didn't lose everybody.

466
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:50,766
- Man, Why'd you bring me this?
- It's proof.

467
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:54,123
We dreamed about playing college ball
since we was kids.

468
00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:55,560
We prayed for it.

469
00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:58,411
And now here we are,
damn near grown.

470
00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:03,047
Cam, what you're holding,
that just ain't a jersey, man.

471
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:05,129
It's an answered prayer.

472
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:07,643
Look at me, dog.

473
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:09,890
You and me.

474
00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:18,167
Brothers for life, dog.

475
00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:23,364
Come on.

476
00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:33,249
Brothers for life.

477
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:37,365
All right, team, bring it in.
Everyone settle down.

478
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:40,803
Coach Lad is on his way in
to say a few words. Bring it down.

479
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:46,925
Alumbaugh's pulling the team together.

480
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:49,726
Okay. Good.

481
00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:04,484
I talked to my doctors...

482
00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:08,969
and they don't feel that I should
come back to coaching you.

483
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:14,009
But rather than
drawing this whole thing out...

484
00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:16,971
I'm just gonna be truthful with you.

485
00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:21,444
I'm not sure when I'll be able to return.

486
00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:27,445
I expect you seniors to step up
and lead this team.

487
00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:35,082
And I expect you guys
to continue to give a perfect effort...

488
00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:37,169
every game.

489
00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:56,402
Not your typical trumpet number, huh?

490
00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:58,648
No, not typical.

491
00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:01,368
Getting the hang of it?

492
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:04,450
- Me or Michael?
- You.

493
00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:09,368
Anything else I can help you with?

494
00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:13,044
No. Think you're doing great.

495
00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:16,130
Just remember, I like mine rare.

496
00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:18,804
You got it.

497
00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:34,806
- You want the other half of this?
- Yeah, sure.

498
00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:44,882
I've dropped more passes this summer
than the previous three years combined.

499
00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:51,041
You're not seeing the ball
into your hands.

500
00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:54,801
- You're looking up-field before you catch.
- I know.

501
00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:57,527
I try to stop, but...

502
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:00,081
What should I do?

503
00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:03,807
You gotta work on that
with Coach Alumbaugh.

504
00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:06,567
I don't need Coach Alumbaugh.

505
00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:07,807
I need you.

506
00:34:10,240 --> 00:34:12,891
My senior season is here, Dad.
My last shot.

507
00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:15,242
Danny, I'm not your coach.

508
00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:18,364
But I wanna spend some time together,
get closer.

509
00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:21,291
- I found a river-rafting outfit...
- River rafting?

510
00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:24,324
Afterwards, we'll win
the father-son three-legged race.

511
00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:28,081
This is perfect. The whole time
I needed a father, I got a coach.

512
00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:32,001
And now I need a coach
and all I've got is a lame dad.

513
00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:39,848
Exercise?

514
00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:42,088
Running again.

515
00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:48,051
- How are my test scores?
- Better than expected.

516
00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:52,248
Your heart has made an unusually strong
recovery, Mr. Ladouceur.

517
00:34:52,720 --> 00:34:56,008
You're free to return
to normal activities.

518
00:34:56,720 --> 00:34:57,960
Coaching?

519
00:34:59,240 --> 00:35:02,164
Keep the stress down, but, yes.

520
00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:09,284
Wow, that's great.
It must be such a relief.

521
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:11,164
Yeah.

522
00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:15,411
She said I could go back to coaching.

523
00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:20,922
So is that your plan, Bob?

524
00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:28,850
We'll see.

525
00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:30,441
Hey-

526
00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:33,651
What's that?

527
00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:34,887
What?

528
00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:36,366
Smells good.

529
00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:39,006
Me or the sauce?

530
00:35:39,240 --> 00:35:40,924
The sauce.

531
00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:43,646
I was hoping it was me.

532
00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:46,761
Ready, and go.

533
00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:56,566
Hey, butt kicks.

534
00:35:56,800 --> 00:35:58,529
Ready, UP-

535
00:35:58,760 --> 00:35:59,841
You're late.

536
00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:01,885
Yeah, I been busy.

537
00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:05,482
Well, that explains yesterday.
You missed an entire practice.

538
00:36:05,720 --> 00:36:08,291
I got a note from the nurse, little Lad.

539
00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:11,649
How insensitive of us, Chris.
He had a tummy ache.

540
00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:14,127
And you call me that again,
I'll drop you.

541
00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:16,487
Now, that's funny.

542
00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:19,684
Nobody misses practice
without clearing it with the captain.

543
00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:24,488
Well, I ain't nobody.
On JV, man, I played both ways.

544
00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:28,844
Caught 38 passes and five picks.
How much practice do I need?

545
00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:32,163
It's not about
It's about us. This team.

546
00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:34,761
Both of y'all can go ahead
and kiss my...

547
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:36,729
Push me? Team?

548
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:41,329
Ain't no team. Truth is, it comes down
to four or five of us bringing our game.

549
00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:45,445
Say what you want, Chris, Danny.
This team thing don't mean nothing now.

550
00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:47,011
- Back off!
- Hey, hold up!

551
00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:49,407
"Team" means everything right now.

552
00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:53,361
Look around. To be successful,
you'll have to scrap for everything.

553
00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:57,366
Wanna be a scrappy team?
You're gonna have to respect each other.

554
00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:00,125
Now, get back to practice.

555
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:06,200
High kicks.

556
00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:25,048
That's how you do it.

557
00:37:25,240 --> 00:37:28,483
That boy do football and basketball.
Y'all got nothing on him.

558
00:37:28,720 --> 00:37:30,643
Hey, I want you.

559
00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:32,080
I want you, boy.

560
00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:42,120
Where the police at?
Because y'all getting robbed.

561
00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:44,727
He just schooled you, man.

562
00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:48,241
Y'all see it. Come on, let's get it.

563
00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:49,646
- Hey.
- Catch you later.

564
00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:53,162
That's how it's done.
That's how it's done, boy.

565
00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:55,522
So when you headed up to Oregon?

566
00:37:55,720 --> 00:37:57,324
First thing tomorrow, man.

567
00:37:57,520 --> 00:37:59,045
Don't forget about us, homes.

568
00:37:59,240 --> 00:38:01,846
Course not, baby.
Of course not. Come on.

569
00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:04,168
Man, all y'all horrible.

570
00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:07,091
Just straight garbage on the court,
no game.

571
00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:17,369
Have you heard from him?
Boy's got to get up early in the morning.

572
00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:19,443
Okay, Mama.

573
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:28,126
Yo, Pops, what's up?

574
00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:33,082
- You didn't forget to fill the car, did you?
- No, I just did. Supreme.

575
00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:36,442
All right. Home in 10.

576
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:41,046
He on his way.

577
00:38:41,240 --> 00:38:43,846
Let me go get his cornbread ready.

578
00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:50,770
Yo, what did you forget?

579
00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:52,689
It's me, coz.

580
00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:55,205
Lamarco, you high, dog?

581
00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:57,641
I lost my ride, man.

582
00:38:58,120 --> 00:38:59,884
Where are you?

583
00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:32,691
- Yo, Lamarco. Come on, man.
- One minute. Let me cop these digits.

584
00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:36,407
- Get them and come on. I gotta get home.
- One minute, coz.

585
00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:39,928
You gonna give me them digits, or what?
You see my ride here.

586
00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:42,530
Lamarco, come on!

587
00:39:42,720 --> 00:39:44,927
I'm coming. I'm gonna call you.

588
00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:53,205
School me, player?

589
00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:55,971
Nah, school you.

590
00:39:56,440 --> 00:39:58,124
Oh, my God!

591
00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:07,966
Call an ambulance, man!

592
00:40:16,840 --> 00:40:20,208
We have an 18-year-old
African-American with gunshot wounds.

593
00:40:21,240 --> 00:40:22,526
Mama, you stay here.

594
00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:27,050
Oh, God.

595
00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:32,722
Jesus Christ. No, no.

596
00:40:32,920 --> 00:40:35,400
Oh, no, no, no! That's my son!

597
00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:36,840
- It's all right.
- No!

598
00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:39,765
Let me go! Let me go!

599
00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:41,400
T.K.!

600
00:40:41,600 --> 00:40:44,444
T.K.! That's my son!

601
00:40:44,640 --> 00:40:47,450
Is that our baby?

602
00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:51,887
Oh, no! Oh, no!

603
00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:14,491
Hold on, help is on the way

604
00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:19,322
God hasn't forgotten you

605
00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:23,730
Be not dismayed

606
00:41:23,960 --> 00:41:28,010
Through the rough times in your life

607
00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:32,444
Everything will be all right

608
00:41:32,640 --> 00:41:39,091
Just hold on
'Cause help is on the way

609
00:41:39,280 --> 00:41:44,081
And without further ado,
Coach Bob Ladouceur.

610
00:41:52,720 --> 00:41:55,564
Thank you, Coach Ladouceur.

611
00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:00,125
Minister.

612
00:42:04,160 --> 00:42:07,562
I remember the first time I saw T.K.

613
00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:09,364
He was that...

614
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:15,040
awkward freshman, all arms and legs,
with an infectious smile.

615
00:42:16,440 --> 00:42:20,286
A coach couldn't help
but notice the smooth grace of his...

616
00:42:22,120 --> 00:42:24,168
athletic ability.

617
00:42:32,680 --> 00:42:36,002
People always ask me
what it's like to never lose.

618
00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:38,849
Today, I am lost.

619
00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:41,168
Lord, have mercy.

620
00:42:42,400 --> 00:42:45,449
It's as if life has taken
more than it gives...

621
00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:48,328
and I don't know if I can handle it.

622
00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:51,122
Lord, I'm struggling.

623
00:42:53,040 --> 00:42:55,281
I wanna understand why.

624
00:42:55,560 --> 00:42:57,722
- Why Terrance?
- Yes, Lord.

625
00:42:57,920 --> 00:42:59,604
Why now?

626
00:43:01,040 --> 00:43:04,806
If we are to call ourselves Christians,
we cannot ask these questions...

627
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:08,766
because to do so is to question
your benevolence, your divine wisdom.

628
00:43:09,960 --> 00:43:11,769
But today I am lost.

629
00:43:13,280 --> 00:43:15,089
Mr. Kelly.

630
00:43:15,520 --> 00:43:16,806
T-Gram.

631
00:43:17,160 --> 00:43:20,289
I can't even imagine your pain
right now.

632
00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:24,406
But you raised the kind of young man
we all strive for.

633
00:43:25,840 --> 00:43:27,604
We ask our players...

634
00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:31,524
to learn and embrace ideals...

635
00:43:31,720 --> 00:43:33,848
perfection, commitment...

636
00:43:34,040 --> 00:43:37,442
compassion, brotherhood, faith.

637
00:43:37,640 --> 00:43:41,361
From the first time T.K. came
across that field, I saw it.

638
00:43:41,560 --> 00:43:45,929
A kid whose grace
wasn't just athletic...

639
00:43:46,120 --> 00:43:48,122
but genuine in so many ways.

640
00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:51,923
He embodied those ideals.

641
00:43:52,120 --> 00:43:53,963
Yes, Lord.

642
00:43:55,200 --> 00:43:57,282
You never gave up
on anything or anyone.

643
00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:02,051
And I did not teach you.

644
00:44:04,040 --> 00:44:05,963
You taught me.

645
00:44:08,240 --> 00:44:09,526
Thank you...

646
00:44:10,200 --> 00:44:12,965
because when on some other day
I am lost...

647
00:44:13,160 --> 00:44:17,210
and struggling to keep my faith,
I need only remember you.

648
00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:22,121
And for reasons we are not privy to,
God wanted T.K. home.

649
00:44:22,320 --> 00:44:24,322
He is with him now.

650
00:44:24,960 --> 00:44:26,928
May God bless you.

651
00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:39,725
Cam.

652
00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:47,207
Doesn't make no sense, coach.

653
00:44:48,520 --> 00:44:51,000
I don't know what I'm supposed to do
anymore.

654
00:44:51,840 --> 00:44:53,524
You stick to the plan.

655
00:44:53,720 --> 00:44:55,370
Go to Oregon.

656
00:45:10,960 --> 00:45:14,169
Mowing the lawn?
What are you doing out here?

657
00:45:14,600 --> 00:45:15,965
Dancing at our wedding.

658
00:45:16,160 --> 00:45:18,242
With your dad.

659
00:45:18,480 --> 00:45:21,689
He grins, looks over.
You were talking with the priest.

660
00:45:21,880 --> 00:45:25,441
I remember, he leans in and said:

661
00:45:25,640 --> 00:45:29,804
"if you didn't know better, which one
puts the collar on every morning?"

662
00:45:33,640 --> 00:45:36,325
The music stops.

663
00:45:37,960 --> 00:45:40,327
The dance is over.

664
00:45:42,640 --> 00:45:45,450
And I'm heading over to rescue you.

665
00:45:49,080 --> 00:45:51,924
And he said something
I still remember.

666
00:45:53,280 --> 00:45:54,884
What's that?

667
00:45:57,960 --> 00:46:00,566
"I hope you won't be too lonely."

668
00:46:01,960 --> 00:46:03,610
Your dad raised you.

669
00:46:03,800 --> 00:46:05,723
He loved you...

670
00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:08,765
but when he died...

671
00:46:09,200 --> 00:46:13,250
I think he felt like
he didn't really know you.

672
00:46:14,520 --> 00:46:18,081
Till a minute ago,
I thought that might happen to me too.

673
00:46:20,320 --> 00:46:23,881
I was sitting up, watching you sleep,
and it hit me.

674
00:46:26,560 --> 00:46:30,610
Some people don't know
who they are...

675
00:46:30,800 --> 00:46:32,723
all that they have.

676
00:46:33,200 --> 00:46:35,851
They just know something's missing.

677
00:46:38,720 --> 00:46:41,451
So I was just sitting out here...

678
00:46:45,680 --> 00:46:48,411
getting ready to let you go again.

679
00:46:57,040 --> 00:46:58,804
No, still way too slow.

680
00:46:59,040 --> 00:47:02,328
You need to blow off the ball.
Faster step. Strike with intent.

681
00:47:04,400 --> 00:47:09,327
On Friday, we play a football team that's
been preparing for this game for a year.

682
00:47:09,520 --> 00:47:13,809
You're not hitting with intensity,
conditioning with discipline.

683
00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:15,923
Salinas, pull your weight. Come on.

684
00:47:16,120 --> 00:47:18,407
Oh, you're dogging it.
You're dogging it.

685
00:47:18,640 --> 00:47:21,564
- Commitment.
- Bellevue is bigger and stronger than us.

686
00:47:21,760 --> 00:47:24,969
Accountability. Perfect effort.
Finally, love.

687
00:47:26,120 --> 00:47:29,761
This bond is what has led Spartans
to achieve far more than anyone...

688
00:47:29,960 --> 00:47:32,804
including themselves,
believed they were capable of.

689
00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:35,082
Six, seven.

690
00:47:35,280 --> 00:47:37,760
Without it,
you may continue to win games.

691
00:47:38,000 --> 00:47:39,809
Rep it out, Tayshon. Four more.

692
00:47:40,040 --> 00:47:43,010
But you will have lost the chance
to become Spartans.

693
00:47:44,320 --> 00:47:45,970
Eight's good.

694
00:47:48,440 --> 00:47:52,445
Welcome to Seattle,
where the 2004 season opens...

695
00:47:52,680 --> 00:47:55,206
with a matchup
between two of the best teams.

696
00:48:00,360 --> 00:48:01,441
Come on!

697
00:48:03,560 --> 00:48:05,130
Let's go, let's go, let's go!

698
00:48:07,320 --> 00:48:10,847
The powerhouse De La Salle Spartans
and their national record...

699
00:48:11,040 --> 00:48:14,249
- ...151-game winning streak...
- Keep the streak alive.

700
00:48:14,440 --> 00:48:17,523
taking on defending
Washington State champs, Bellevue.

701
00:48:18,840 --> 00:48:22,765
Down, set, hut!

702
00:48:28,520 --> 00:48:32,206
Strong right, lead at two.
Veer, pass, drag. Let's go.

703
00:48:33,160 --> 00:48:35,811
Strong left! Strong left!

704
00:48:36,240 --> 00:48:40,040
- Open back 11. Back 11.
- Down, set, hut!

705
00:48:45,680 --> 00:48:47,603
Rick Salinas
throws a perfect pass...

706
00:48:47,800 --> 00:48:50,963
connecting with Danny Ladouceur
for a 13-yard gain.

707
00:48:51,160 --> 00:48:52,924
Sixteen mid-line on one. Ready?

708
00:48:55,240 --> 00:48:56,446
Go get them, Beast.

709
00:48:56,640 --> 00:49:01,362
Chris Ryan. This man has the size and
speed to play anywhere in the country.

710
00:49:01,560 --> 00:49:04,325
Red dog! Red dog! Set, hut-hut!

711
00:49:10,760 --> 00:49:13,525
Go, go, go!
Come on, Chris! Come on, Chris!

712
00:49:13,760 --> 00:49:16,923
Come on, Beast! Come on, Beast!
Come on, Beast!

713
00:49:17,120 --> 00:49:19,009
That's it! Yeah!

714
00:49:19,200 --> 00:49:22,488
Chris Ryan, showing off his ability,
breaks a 45-yard run...

715
00:49:22,680 --> 00:49:26,162
to give De La Salle a 7-to-O lead.

716
00:49:26,400 --> 00:49:30,530
That's a great run, but our left tackle
needs to seal that backer better.

717
00:49:30,720 --> 00:49:34,088
Ryan has been a scoring machine,
amassing 52 touchdowns...

718
00:49:34,480 --> 00:49:36,608
in his sophomore and junior seasons.

719
00:49:37,480 --> 00:49:39,562
He is now 36 touchdowns away...

720
00:49:39,760 --> 00:49:43,560
from breaking
the California career touchdown record.

721
00:49:43,760 --> 00:49:45,762
Twenty-two. Hut, set, hut!

722
00:49:48,040 --> 00:49:49,724
Beaser!

723
00:49:51,160 --> 00:49:53,891
This is like the drill we run every day
at practice!

724
00:49:54,080 --> 00:49:56,811
Shed that block
and get to the ball carrier!

725
00:49:57,840 --> 00:49:59,251
Okay.

726
00:49:59,440 --> 00:50:00,851
They're changing it up.

727
00:50:01,040 --> 00:50:03,646
They're in man to man,
then dropping to cover two.

728
00:50:03,840 --> 00:50:06,320
Why don't you simplify it?
Read the free safety.

729
00:50:06,560 --> 00:50:11,009
Free safety's gonna tell you everything.
What? Someone break one?

730
00:50:11,200 --> 00:50:13,009
Stop him! Stop him!

731
00:50:14,320 --> 00:50:15,481
Get after him!

732
00:50:17,880 --> 00:50:18,961
Jeez!

733
00:50:20,240 --> 00:50:23,767
Bellevue's Taylor King
breaks a 76-yard touchdown.

734
00:50:23,960 --> 00:50:26,645
This Bellevue team
is not afraid of De La Salle.

735
00:50:26,840 --> 00:50:29,366
We may just have a game here.

736
00:50:41,000 --> 00:50:44,004
And yet another completion.
First down, Bellevue.

737
00:50:45,520 --> 00:50:47,249
They're playing exactly like us.

738
00:50:48,240 --> 00:50:51,289
This Wolverine passing attack
is shredding De La Salle.

739
00:50:51,880 --> 00:50:54,042
It's a three-deep and you got beat?

740
00:50:54,280 --> 00:50:57,727
Your responsibility is the quarterback
when they run the option.

741
00:50:57,920 --> 00:51:00,810
Right? We practiced all of this,
come on, now!

742
00:51:04,200 --> 00:51:06,487
You have to break down
to make that stop.

743
00:51:06,680 --> 00:51:08,967
Don't get caught flat-footed.

744
00:51:13,880 --> 00:51:15,325
No, no, no!

745
00:51:15,760 --> 00:51:18,604
Stop him! Stop him!

746
00:51:18,840 --> 00:51:20,171
Oh, God!

747
00:51:20,360 --> 00:51:22,203
Here's something nobody expected.

748
00:51:22,400 --> 00:51:26,291
The Wolverines are controlling the line
of scrimmage against De La Salle.

749
00:51:30,080 --> 00:51:32,845
They're beating us off the ball
on every snap.

750
00:51:33,640 --> 00:51:36,723
- Down.
- Blue 22! Blue 22!

751
00:51:36,920 --> 00:51:38,001
Set.

752
00:51:38,240 --> 00:51:39,844
Go left! Go left!

753
00:51:40,040 --> 00:51:41,280
Hut!

754
00:51:47,400 --> 00:51:50,768
Bellevue scores to give
the Washington State champions...

755
00:51:51,000 --> 00:51:54,766
a 28-to-7 lead
over powerhouse De La Salle.

756
00:51:56,480 --> 00:51:58,084
We're gonna lose.

757
00:52:03,320 --> 00:52:07,882
Hit Danny on a 12-yard curl in the seam
between the linebacker and the safety.

758
00:52:11,440 --> 00:52:13,602
Down, set, hut!

759
00:52:19,960 --> 00:52:23,681
Danny Ladouceur drops a pass.
His dad will not be happy about that.

760
00:52:23,880 --> 00:52:25,803
Gotta get it to the players.

761
00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:28,128
He's gotta catch it, Bev.

762
00:52:28,600 --> 00:52:31,251
Ready. Set, hut!

763
00:52:35,240 --> 00:52:37,402
Ladouceur's hit
and coughs up the ball!

764
00:52:37,600 --> 00:52:39,409
Gotta hold on to that ball, Danny!

765
00:52:39,960 --> 00:52:42,725
Bellevue recovers. Bellevue recovers.

766
00:53:07,520 --> 00:53:12,128
- I don't care how good you think you are!
- I'm the best receiver on this team.

767
00:53:12,960 --> 00:53:16,806
I ran my route, they attacked, man.
Ran the ball right by you.

768
00:53:20,200 --> 00:53:22,806
- Come on! Let's go, let's go!
- Eight, seven...

769
00:53:23,000 --> 00:53:25,401
six, five, four...

770
00:53:25,600 --> 00:53:28,365
- Down, set, hut!
- ...three, two, one.

771
00:53:29,280 --> 00:53:32,329
And that's it.
The streak is over! The streak is over!

772
00:53:32,560 --> 00:53:36,565
The longest winning streak
in sports history is now over...

773
00:53:36,760 --> 00:53:40,446
as the Bellevue Wolverines
have shocked the De La Salle Spartans...

774
00:53:40,640 --> 00:53:45,646
in perhaps the biggest upset
in high-school football history.

775
00:54:31,240 --> 00:54:33,607
Are you okay? It's okay.

776
00:54:50,040 --> 00:54:52,805
Hey, hey! We don't do that here.

777
00:54:53,480 --> 00:54:55,323
We don't do that.

778
00:54:59,200 --> 00:55:02,522
Reporters, friends, family, strangers.

779
00:55:02,720 --> 00:55:04,768
They're all gonna ask the same thing:

780
00:55:04,960 --> 00:55:06,450
"What happened?"

781
00:55:06,720 --> 00:55:09,007
This is a question
that's gonna follow you.

782
00:55:09,240 --> 00:55:11,322
"How did you lose the streak?"

783
00:55:11,520 --> 00:55:15,047
And every time,
you're gonna answer the truth:

784
00:55:15,240 --> 00:55:19,131
"Bellevue played better than us
and we lost a high-school football game."

785
00:55:19,600 --> 00:55:21,489
That's football.

786
00:55:22,080 --> 00:55:24,048
But it's not you.

787
00:55:25,520 --> 00:55:28,444
Don't let a game define who you are.

788
00:55:28,640 --> 00:55:31,689
Let the way you live your lives do that.

789
00:55:35,960 --> 00:55:37,371
Coach.

790
00:55:40,800 --> 00:55:44,566
I truly believe
that life's most impressionable lessons...

791
00:55:44,760 --> 00:55:47,331
are ones where something bad
happens to you...

792
00:55:47,520 --> 00:55:50,444
or something challenging
confronts you.

793
00:55:51,680 --> 00:55:55,969
No one can climb into your head and hear
what that little voice is saying to you.

794
00:55:56,680 --> 00:55:59,968
Is it saying,
"Oh, no, we lost the streak"?

795
00:56:00,640 --> 00:56:02,085
Well, what's it gonna say?

796
00:56:02,800 --> 00:56:06,646
After today, you're gonna find out
a lot about yourselves.

797
00:56:07,320 --> 00:56:11,291
And you know something, we're all
gonna find out what this team is made of.

798
00:56:19,960 --> 00:56:23,851
The effort you put in
during the off-season was commendable.

799
00:56:26,680 --> 00:56:29,206
But it has not translated onto the field.

800
00:56:32,880 --> 00:56:35,167
You've got to decide
what you wanna be.

801
00:56:35,360 --> 00:56:40,207
I get the feeling from you as a team
that you just wanna hop on that throne...

802
00:56:40,400 --> 00:56:43,051
and place the championship ring
on your finger.

803
00:56:43,240 --> 00:56:45,527
That you're at De La Salle
and deserve that.

804
00:56:46,040 --> 00:56:49,442
For the most part we're inconsistent,
mistake-prone, ragged...

805
00:56:49,640 --> 00:56:51,961
and not very physical.

806
00:56:52,960 --> 00:56:54,644
That's where we are.

807
00:56:54,840 --> 00:56:57,844
As much as you don't wanna hear it,
that's my assessment.

808
00:56:58,040 --> 00:57:01,761
Do I feel like you can pull this off
and earn the right to that throne?

809
00:57:01,960 --> 00:57:03,962
- Yeah, I do.
- Attaboy, attaboy.

810
00:57:04,160 --> 00:57:07,130
I'm not hoping you play well
against Clayton Valley.

811
00:57:07,360 --> 00:57:10,603
You have to.
You have to play well this week.

812
00:57:10,800 --> 00:57:14,885
Even if you step it up and play at your
ability level, it still won't be easy.

813
00:57:15,080 --> 00:57:18,163
You're gonna have to fight
for victories in those games.

814
00:57:19,440 --> 00:57:21,488
All right, that's it, that's it!

815
00:57:23,280 --> 00:57:27,126
Oh, he's got a seam! Go, go, go!

816
00:57:27,320 --> 00:57:28,924
- Nice work.
- Oh, for...!

817
00:57:31,960 --> 00:57:35,043
Despite a well-played game,
De La Salle comes up short...

818
00:57:35,240 --> 00:57:38,528
and after two games,
is still winless in this young season.

819
00:57:38,760 --> 00:57:43,049
Bob Ladouceur's gonna have to figure
something out to get this team on track...

820
00:57:43,240 --> 00:57:45,971
if they plan on making it
to the playoffs this year.

821
00:57:53,800 --> 00:57:55,290
Pick up your heads.

822
00:57:55,480 --> 00:57:57,687
Meet me at the locker room tomorrow.

823
00:57:57,880 --> 00:57:59,405
Eight a.m.

824
00:58:12,200 --> 00:58:13,486
What's up, Alex?

825
00:58:16,040 --> 00:58:19,123
- Miss you. I'm all sweaty.
- It's okay. It was a tough game.

826
00:58:20,440 --> 00:58:22,488
Party is tomorrow, if you wanna go.

827
00:58:22,720 --> 00:58:24,802
Maybe. I don't know. If you do.

828
00:58:25,000 --> 00:58:27,048
- Are you kidding me?
- Dad, please.

829
00:58:27,240 --> 00:58:30,005
You let some punk pull you down
at the two-yard line.

830
00:58:30,200 --> 00:58:33,044
- I scored three touchdowns.
- How many did you promise?

831
00:58:33,280 --> 00:58:35,328
- Mr. Ryan, please.
- Laurie, stop.

832
00:58:35,520 --> 00:58:38,000
Forty-one blast. Run it, now.

833
00:58:38,240 --> 00:58:41,005
- Dad, it's midnight. I'm tired.
- So am I.

834
00:58:41,240 --> 00:58:44,926
- Forty-one blast. Run it, now.
- You run it.

835
00:58:47,720 --> 00:58:49,529
You listen close.

836
00:58:49,720 --> 00:58:51,961
I want that record.

837
00:58:52,160 --> 00:58:54,640
He's not gonna get it for you
with a busted rib.

838
00:58:54,880 --> 00:58:55,961
Now let him go.

839
00:58:57,160 --> 00:59:01,165
Hey, coach. Let's you and me
huddle up for a second, okay?

840
00:59:01,360 --> 00:59:04,489
I don't usually huddle up with parents,
Mick.

841
00:59:29,440 --> 00:59:31,886
You think
this is gonna freak them out?

842
00:59:32,080 --> 00:59:34,321
I certainly hope so.

843
01:00:07,480 --> 01:00:09,209
- Good morning, Carol.
- Hi, Bob.

844
01:00:10,720 --> 01:00:14,964
Nurse Ballard is a friend of mine. She's
in charge of the entire nursing staff.

845
01:00:15,360 --> 01:00:18,091
Today, we will be following her orders.

846
01:00:18,280 --> 01:00:21,841
Coach Lad and I worked at the
Juvenile Detention Center in Richmond.

847
01:00:22,040 --> 01:00:24,566
It was a little longer ago
than I'd rather admit.

848
01:00:24,800 --> 01:00:27,804
So you guys play a tough game.
Anybody ever been injured?

849
01:00:33,400 --> 01:00:35,482
You've never been injured?

850
01:00:36,160 --> 01:00:39,721
It's part of the game. You don't think
about it, you bounce back.

851
01:00:40,360 --> 01:00:42,249
You're very brave.

852
01:00:42,440 --> 01:00:43,930
This is not that.

853
01:00:44,160 --> 01:00:49,200
Here, nobody bounces. Break into three
groups. When you hear your name...

854
01:00:49,400 --> 01:00:53,610
follow the nurse who called it
to the appropriate unit. Let's go.

855
01:00:54,680 --> 01:00:58,924
Nurse Adams is in charge of the Recovery
Ward, and she will take over from here.

856
01:00:59,560 --> 01:01:02,769
Good afternoon, gentlemen.
Welcome to the VA Recovery Ward.

857
01:01:02,960 --> 01:01:05,008
So here we specialize in transplants...

858
01:01:05,400 --> 01:01:09,291
amputations and general rehabilitation
for limb recovery.

859
01:01:09,480 --> 01:01:14,441
Our focus here is on full recovery,
body and spirit.

860
01:01:14,800 --> 01:01:17,724
If this is too hard for anybody,
don't come in.

861
01:01:17,960 --> 01:01:19,689
Why would it be?

862
01:01:22,880 --> 01:01:25,281
All our patients
are here for rehabilitation.

863
01:01:25,480 --> 01:01:30,168
Our job is to help them recover
from injuries received during combat.

864
01:01:30,360 --> 01:01:35,366
It's long and difficult, but we're dedicated
to getting them back to functioning lives.

865
01:01:35,560 --> 01:01:37,642
- Hey, Ma)'-
- Hey.

866
01:01:45,560 --> 01:01:46,800
Hello?

867
01:01:47,000 --> 01:01:48,331
I'll be right there.

868
01:01:48,520 --> 01:01:51,171
Hey, would you do me a favor?
Would you finish up?

869
01:01:53,200 --> 01:01:54,850
Thanks.

870
01:02:14,520 --> 01:02:16,124
What are you looking at?

871
01:02:16,560 --> 01:02:18,528
Oh, no, no, I just...

872
01:02:18,720 --> 01:02:20,290
- You just what?
- Nothing.

873
01:02:20,480 --> 01:02:22,005
What's the matter, boy?

874
01:02:22,200 --> 01:02:24,248
Get on. Pace me.

875
01:02:24,520 --> 01:02:26,727
- What?
- You do speak English, right?

876
01:02:26,920 --> 01:02:28,160
Get on, pace me.

877
01:02:44,920 --> 01:02:47,764
What? What did I do? Did I hurt you?

878
01:02:49,200 --> 01:02:51,328
No, I'm just messing with you, man.

879
01:02:51,520 --> 01:02:53,602
I can't feel anything.

880
01:02:57,160 --> 01:02:58,730
Man, I...

881
01:02:58,960 --> 01:03:02,248
Sometimes my legs hurt so bad,
I'd wish I didn't feel anything.

882
01:03:02,440 --> 01:03:05,410
No, you don't.

883
01:03:07,360 --> 01:03:10,887
No, I don't.

884
01:03:16,720 --> 01:03:20,645
- What's wrong with you, boy? You blind?
- My bad, man. I didn't see you.

885
01:03:20,840 --> 01:03:24,925
No, man. I swear I didn't even see you.
Hey, what the...? Hey! Hey, man!

886
01:03:25,120 --> 01:03:27,646
Is that...? Was that pee?

887
01:03:27,840 --> 01:03:29,683
Well, it sure ain't no Gatorade.

888
01:03:29,880 --> 01:03:30,961
Heck, no!

889
01:03:31,200 --> 01:03:32,486
Hey, nurse!

890
01:03:32,680 --> 01:03:33,966
Come on, man!

891
01:03:38,840 --> 01:03:41,366
Come on, Danny.
You gotta speed this up.

892
01:03:42,480 --> 01:03:44,448
All right. Let him catch up, though.

893
01:03:44,640 --> 01:03:47,610
Oh, great. You're a real gentleman.

894
01:03:49,160 --> 01:03:50,525
On, baby.

895
01:03:50,760 --> 01:03:53,366
Stop. Salinas. Quit it.

896
01:03:54,440 --> 01:03:57,250
- Salinas, enough.
- I don't know if it is fast enough.

897
01:03:57,800 --> 01:03:59,325
Show me what you got.

898
01:04:00,200 --> 01:04:02,931
Let's go, Danny.
Show him what you got.

899
01:04:03,440 --> 01:04:07,126
One night we get overrun.
I just curled up, waiting to die.

900
01:04:08,320 --> 01:04:11,324
Till somebody dragged me
into this deserted mosque.

901
01:04:11,880 --> 01:04:17,046
I look at the guy who just saved my butt.
He's just some hillbilly kid from Arkansas.

902
01:04:17,920 --> 01:04:19,604
Hey, at least you got out.

903
01:04:19,800 --> 01:04:23,043
If they could put me back together,
I'd go back today.

904
01:04:23,640 --> 01:04:24,687
For what?

905
01:04:24,920 --> 01:04:28,242
My unit.
Listen, half of them are still over there.

906
01:04:28,440 --> 01:04:30,010
That don't make no sense.

907
01:04:30,200 --> 01:04:33,966
It's simple. Over there,
who you are in the world don't matter.

908
01:04:35,040 --> 01:04:37,361
Fighting for your country don't matter.

909
01:04:38,560 --> 01:04:39,641
What does?

910
01:04:40,640 --> 01:04:42,449
The guy next to you.

911
01:04:42,640 --> 01:04:44,563
It's a brotherhood.

912
01:04:45,760 --> 01:04:47,762
Let's go, boys.
You're running. Come on.

913
01:04:48,160 --> 01:04:50,811
Come on, Danny.
Spartans for life, baby.

914
01:04:51,160 --> 01:04:52,924
Live together. Die together.

915
01:04:53,320 --> 01:04:55,846
Pick it up. Pick it up. Pick it up.

916
01:04:56,040 --> 01:04:57,371
You wanna go faster?

917
01:04:57,560 --> 01:04:58,766
Let's go faster.

918
01:05:04,000 --> 01:05:06,526
Don't let us down, baby. Come on.

919
01:05:06,920 --> 01:05:11,164
Let's go, baby. Come on, Danny. You
got this, dog. Don't stop, baby. Come on.

920
01:05:11,360 --> 01:05:13,283
Do not stop on me. Do not stop.

921
01:05:13,480 --> 01:05:15,528
You're a Spartan. Don't stop, Danny.

922
01:05:19,000 --> 01:05:20,570
I can't. I can't.

923
01:05:20,760 --> 01:05:24,003
- What?
- He's gonna go forever.

924
01:05:29,600 --> 01:05:31,170
No.

925
01:05:31,520 --> 01:05:33,648
Not forever, Danny.

926
01:05:34,360 --> 01:05:36,169
Just a little more than you.

927
01:06:02,560 --> 01:06:03,607
Long Beach Poly.

928
01:06:04,040 --> 01:06:07,726
By every measure, the best high-school
football team in the nation.

929
01:06:07,920 --> 01:06:11,561
Offensive line,
average over 300 pounds.

930
01:06:12,960 --> 01:06:16,043
Their starters. Beaser.

931
01:06:16,280 --> 01:06:18,009
Meet Buster Matthews.

932
01:06:18,520 --> 01:06:21,205
Three hundred and thirty pounds
of pure aggression.

933
01:06:21,400 --> 01:06:24,643
Poly runs 60 percent of their plays
behind him.

934
01:06:24,840 --> 01:06:27,605
And you're gonna face him
the whole game.

935
01:06:28,760 --> 01:06:30,649
But we have speed, right?

936
01:06:31,080 --> 01:06:34,084
Their number-one wideout
clocks a 4.440.

937
01:06:34,640 --> 01:06:37,883
I don't think we have anyone that fast.

938
01:06:38,400 --> 01:06:41,244
Their key player?
Strong safety Darnell Bing.

939
01:06:41,440 --> 01:06:44,967
Just committed to SC and plays
like he's been there three years.

940
01:06:45,280 --> 01:06:48,966
Tayshon. You're a better match
for this guy's speed.

941
01:06:49,160 --> 01:06:51,606
You're gonna start against Poly.

942
01:06:55,920 --> 01:06:59,970
You're going into the most physically
demanding moment of your life.

943
01:07:02,080 --> 01:07:03,730
Drive, drive, drive!

944
01:07:34,360 --> 01:07:36,124
Let me go again! Let me go again!

945
01:07:45,880 --> 01:07:49,043
Way to go, Beaser! Way to go!
All the way to the line.

946
01:07:56,080 --> 01:07:57,127
One tradition...

947
01:07:58,720 --> 01:08:02,167
that defined this program
is the willingness of our players...

948
01:08:02,360 --> 01:08:05,330
to share their emotions
at the end of these meetings.

949
01:08:05,560 --> 01:08:07,005
This team hasn't done that.

950
01:08:07,200 --> 01:08:11,524
You guys are still carrying around the
stigma of losing the streak. Forget that.

951
01:08:12,520 --> 01:08:13,931
Forget it.

952
01:08:16,320 --> 01:08:17,367
Open up.

953
01:08:18,760 --> 01:08:20,728
Talk to each other.

954
01:08:38,440 --> 01:08:41,091
My brother was captain
of the 2000 team.

955
01:08:41,280 --> 01:08:44,250
In four years, he never lost one game.

956
01:08:46,480 --> 01:08:50,610
When we blew the streak,
I couldn't look him in the eye.

957
01:08:52,960 --> 01:08:54,883
I'm done with that.

958
01:08:55,600 --> 01:08:58,410
Everything we've been through
was for a reason:

959
01:08:58,600 --> 01:09:00,648
To bring us together.

960
01:09:01,400 --> 01:09:03,368
I love you guys.

961
01:09:04,320 --> 01:09:08,166
I will die on that field
before I let you down.

962
01:09:08,360 --> 01:09:11,125
Collapse. Not die.

963
01:09:12,000 --> 01:09:14,048
It's just a high-school football game.

964
01:09:18,480 --> 01:09:21,006
I've been on this team four years.

965
01:09:21,200 --> 01:09:24,283
I've never once played
in a varsity football game.

966
01:09:26,040 --> 01:09:28,566
I mean, I'm not good enough.

967
01:09:29,240 --> 01:09:33,325
And that's okay, because
the greatest moments of my life...

968
01:09:33,880 --> 01:09:36,724
were the times I've spent on this team
with you.

969
01:09:37,400 --> 01:09:40,802
I've never been prouder of anything
than being a Spartan.

970
01:09:50,360 --> 01:09:55,207
When we first watched Poly's film,
and I saw Buster Matthews...

971
01:09:56,560 --> 01:09:58,483
I was scared.

972
01:09:59,760 --> 01:10:03,845
Then I remembered something Coach
Lad told us on my first day of practice.

973
01:10:04,800 --> 01:10:07,007
"Face your fears."

974
01:10:07,800 --> 01:10:11,805
That night I pasted Buster's name and
his number on my ceiling above my bed.

975
01:10:12,000 --> 01:10:14,685
And every night since,
no matter how tired I was...

976
01:10:15,240 --> 01:10:16,810
I've been saying:

977
01:10:17,000 --> 01:10:21,244
"Buster Matthews, number 79...

978
01:10:22,040 --> 01:10:26,523
you are mine."

979
01:10:27,560 --> 01:10:29,403
A hundred times every night.

980
01:10:29,760 --> 01:10:31,842
I promise you, GUYS-

981
01:10:32,760 --> 01:10:36,003
We're not gonna lose
because of Buster Matthews.

982
01:10:47,840 --> 01:10:50,286
My old man is insane.

983
01:10:52,120 --> 01:10:55,363
My mom used to keep him in line,
but he wore her out.

984
01:10:56,640 --> 01:10:59,610
Once I made the team,
I thought it'd be better.

985
01:11:01,880 --> 01:11:04,008
He became an animal.

986
01:11:07,320 --> 01:11:09,288
I hated him.

987
01:11:10,000 --> 01:11:12,241
Funny thing is, what...

988
01:11:12,440 --> 01:11:15,489
What saved me
was being on this team.

989
01:11:16,320 --> 01:11:21,690
I used to play as hard as I could because
I thought that would make him happy.

990
01:11:22,600 --> 01:11:24,329
And then I'd be happy.

991
01:11:25,080 --> 01:11:28,402
You guys love me
whether I'm scoring touchdowns or not.

992
01:11:30,880 --> 01:11:34,805
I was missing that,
and you guys gave it to me.

993
01:11:38,000 --> 01:11:40,844
I could never repay you for that.

994
01:11:43,640 --> 01:11:45,642
But come tomorrow...

995
01:11:48,120 --> 01:11:50,361
I don't play for him.

996
01:11:52,640 --> 01:11:54,005
I Play for you.

997
01:11:55,320 --> 01:12:00,201
Welcome to Veterans Stadium, home
of the Long Beach Poly Jackrabbits...

998
01:12:00,400 --> 01:12:03,483
where the De La Salle Spartans
of Concord, California...

999
01:12:03,680 --> 01:12:08,641
have traveled to the Southland for this
matchup of powerhouse programs.

1000
01:12:08,880 --> 01:12:12,327
At the end of last season,
these were the top two teams...

1001
01:12:12,880 --> 01:12:16,805
and this was hyped as the game
for the national championship.

1002
01:12:35,480 --> 01:12:37,687
Dude, these guys are giants.

1003
01:12:46,040 --> 01:12:49,044
Poly is riding high
on 34 straight victories.

1004
01:12:49,240 --> 01:12:52,926
De La Salle's 151-game-winning streak
ended two weeks ago...

1005
01:12:53,120 --> 01:12:57,205
and the Spartans come into this game
with an abysmal 0 and 2 record.

1006
01:12:57,400 --> 01:13:00,165
This team is struggling
and is nowhere as talented...

1007
01:13:00,360 --> 01:13:02,124
as previous De La Salle teams.

1008
01:13:02,320 --> 01:13:04,721
This is the toughest game
on their schedule...

1009
01:13:04,920 --> 01:13:06,968
and the most pivotal
of their season.

1010
01:13:07,160 --> 01:13:08,605
If they can't get a win...

1011
01:13:08,800 --> 01:13:12,771
they will go into league play O and 3
and with zero momentum.

1012
01:13:19,480 --> 01:13:20,811
And here we go.

1013
01:13:21,040 --> 01:13:25,364
The first nationally televised
high-school football game is underway.

1014
01:13:25,880 --> 01:13:27,962
Ryan takes the opening kickoff.

1015
01:13:28,160 --> 01:13:33,644
And it's gonna be hot as the temperature
on the field has reached 95 degrees.

1016
01:13:35,440 --> 01:13:40,287
Poly is big and fast. Their offensive and
defensive lines outweigh the Spartans...

1017
01:13:40,520 --> 01:13:42,249
by over 50 pounds per man.

1018
01:13:42,480 --> 01:13:44,005
Set, hut!

1019
01:13:46,720 --> 01:13:49,166
Chris Ryan gets pounded into the turf.

1020
01:13:49,400 --> 01:13:51,448
That's all you got?

1021
01:13:51,920 --> 01:13:53,046
Set, hut!

1022
01:13:54,120 --> 01:13:59,365
Salinas drops back, and his first pass
of the day goes to Tayshon Lanear.

1023
01:13:59,560 --> 01:14:03,884
- Darnell Bing lays a big lick on him.
- Twenty-two power pass throwback.

1024
01:14:04,120 --> 01:14:06,964
Get leverage on the corner,
occupy the free safety.

1025
01:14:07,160 --> 01:14:09,891
- Chris will be wide open behind you.
- Let's go.

1026
01:14:10,080 --> 01:14:11,286
Hut!

1027
01:14:16,600 --> 01:14:19,285
There he goes! That's it, that's it!

1028
01:14:19,920 --> 01:14:21,843
Go, go, go!

1029
01:14:25,960 --> 01:14:28,531
- Touchdown!
- Chris Ryan somersaults...

1030
01:14:28,720 --> 01:14:31,803
into the end zone,
giving the Spartans a six-point lead.

1031
01:14:32,000 --> 01:14:35,368
Ryan is a force on the field
and has D-1 size and speed.

1032
01:14:35,560 --> 01:14:38,086
That's one, Chris.
I need two more from you.

1033
01:14:38,320 --> 01:14:43,042
Chris. Nice run. Dive in the end zone
one more time and I bench you.

1034
01:14:43,240 --> 01:14:45,163
We're not a celebrating team.

1035
01:14:45,360 --> 01:14:46,407
- Yes, sir.
- Go.

1036
01:14:46,600 --> 01:14:49,285
We knew they were quick.
Now we've seen how quick.

1037
01:14:49,480 --> 01:14:53,246
Settle them down. Let's show them
real speed. Hit Jones on a one. Go.

1038
01:14:53,720 --> 01:14:58,408
Go, red 27, red 27, set!

1039
01:14:58,600 --> 01:15:00,045
Hut!

1040
01:15:01,920 --> 01:15:04,969
Lawrence launches a bomb
to Derrick Jones...

1041
01:15:05,720 --> 01:15:07,563
and he just can't hang on.

1042
01:15:07,960 --> 01:15:09,610
Yeah!

1043
01:15:09,800 --> 01:15:13,771
You know why he dropped that? He ain't
been dragging truck tires all week.

1044
01:15:13,960 --> 01:15:15,405
Yeah!

1045
01:15:15,600 --> 01:15:18,524
Beaser! Only second down.
Keep your head in the game.

1046
01:15:18,720 --> 01:15:23,408
The heat on the field is brutal,
but this Spartan team has come to play.

1047
01:15:23,600 --> 01:15:27,810
They are banging heads with BOO-pound
linemen out there and holding their own.

1048
01:15:28,280 --> 01:15:29,691
What they lack in size...

1049
01:15:29,920 --> 01:15:33,606
they make up in quickness off the ball,
determination and toughness.

1050
01:15:35,960 --> 01:15:37,325
Reverse!

1051
01:15:42,880 --> 01:15:45,690
- No! No!
- That's how you play football!

1052
01:15:45,880 --> 01:15:49,965
Poly gets its first score of the game,
tying it at 7.

1053
01:15:52,800 --> 01:15:57,124
On-field temperatures have soared
to 100 degrees.

1054
01:15:57,360 --> 01:16:01,524
On the pre-game show, De La Salle's
assistant coach Terry Eidson said...

1055
01:16:01,720 --> 01:16:04,326
the heat could be a factor
in today's game.

1056
01:16:04,920 --> 01:16:05,967
He wasn't kidding.

1057
01:16:06,200 --> 01:16:07,884
Down.

1058
01:16:09,440 --> 01:16:11,249
Over me! U 52!

1059
01:16:11,440 --> 01:16:13,761
Set, hut!

1060
01:16:19,840 --> 01:16:23,287
Salinas fires a 29-yard pass
to Tayshon Lanear...

1061
01:16:23,480 --> 01:16:26,165
for his first touchdown of the game.

1062
01:16:26,360 --> 01:16:31,161
- Yeah! Yeah!
- De La Salle, back in the lead, 13 to 7.

1063
01:16:33,440 --> 01:16:35,727
With eight minutes left in the half...

1064
01:16:35,920 --> 01:16:39,322
De La Salle's two-way players
are struggling to get back up.

1065
01:16:39,520 --> 01:16:43,320
And because Poly has a hundred-man
roster, nobody plays both ways.

1066
01:16:43,520 --> 01:16:46,808
This could be a huge factor
in today's game.

1067
01:16:47,960 --> 01:16:50,531
Five-forty down! Fifty-fifty!

1068
01:16:50,720 --> 01:16:54,611
- You know why they call me Buster?
- You're stupid enough to let them?

1069
01:16:54,800 --> 01:16:56,404
Set, hut!

1070
01:17:01,440 --> 01:17:02,805
Nice hit.

1071
01:17:03,000 --> 01:17:05,571
Joe Beaser sheds a block
by big Buster Matthews...

1072
01:17:05,800 --> 01:17:08,280
and makes a huge stop
on fourth down.

1073
01:17:14,200 --> 01:17:16,089
Split! Split!

1074
01:17:16,280 --> 01:17:17,770
Doubles!

1075
01:17:19,920 --> 01:17:20,921
Hut!

1076
01:17:27,440 --> 01:17:28,601
Stop him! Come on!

1077
01:17:32,120 --> 01:17:35,442
Tayshon Lanear reels in
his second touchdown of the game...

1078
01:17:35,640 --> 01:17:38,644
putting the Spartans up 21 to 7.

1079
01:17:42,360 --> 01:17:45,330
Lanear has been playing both ways
the first half...

1080
01:17:45,520 --> 01:17:48,729
and is exhausted down
on the De La Salle bench.

1081
01:17:48,920 --> 01:17:50,843
Offense, get in there!

1082
01:17:54,560 --> 01:17:58,451
Big third down here for Poly
as the clock is under a minute to go.

1083
01:18:00,600 --> 01:18:03,171
Did you see that? Did you see that?

1084
01:18:03,920 --> 01:18:05,604
Get off of him, man!

1085
01:18:11,840 --> 01:18:13,808
Come on, guys! Let's go, let's go!

1086
01:18:14,040 --> 01:18:16,725
Fourth down
and after that big play by Chris Ryan...

1087
01:18:16,960 --> 01:18:18,883
Poly is going for a field goal.

1088
01:18:21,600 --> 01:18:24,490
From 34 yards out,
the ball is up and good.

1089
01:18:24,880 --> 01:18:28,441
Poly cuts the De La Salle Lead
to 21-10.

1090
01:18:29,240 --> 01:18:31,925
Eighteen seconds on the clock.
Poly is spread wide.

1091
01:18:32,120 --> 01:18:35,567
- Looks like they're kicking away.
- Onside! Ball, ball!

1092
01:18:35,760 --> 01:18:40,004
No, it's an onside kick.
The ball is on the turf. There's a pileup.

1093
01:18:40,200 --> 01:18:42,965
Officials are diving in, and...

1094
01:18:43,160 --> 01:18:45,481
- We got it! We got it! We got it!
- Our ball.

1095
01:18:45,680 --> 01:18:48,570
- Poly has the ball.
- You have got to be kidding me.

1096
01:18:48,760 --> 01:18:52,242
A perfectly executed onside kick
with 12 seconds left in the half.

1097
01:18:52,440 --> 01:18:54,761
When he lines up,
they're gonna throw to him.

1098
01:18:55,000 --> 01:18:58,766
Well, I can't go out there
and play for them. Pass! Pass!

1099
01:18:59,000 --> 01:19:00,604
Set, hut!

1100
01:19:07,880 --> 01:19:11,009
Lawrence finds his big tight end
as the clock expires...

1101
01:19:11,200 --> 01:19:13,726
in one of the best first halves
you will see.

1102
01:19:13,920 --> 01:19:18,209
Long Beach Poly has pulled
within four points of De La Salle, 21-17.

1103
01:19:19,760 --> 01:19:21,728
You need water?

1104
01:19:22,600 --> 01:19:25,331
Move. Open that window, man.

1105
01:19:26,840 --> 01:19:28,490
Water!

1106
01:19:36,320 --> 01:19:38,163
Where's that ice bucket?

1107
01:19:43,480 --> 01:19:45,369
Here, give me that.

1108
01:19:47,080 --> 01:19:49,048
Give it to him. All right.

1109
01:19:51,960 --> 01:19:55,089
- Take it. Put it on the neck.
- Yeah, yeah. I got it.

1110
01:19:57,000 --> 01:19:59,162
All right. Lay him down.

1111
01:19:59,360 --> 01:20:00,930
On his back here.

1112
01:20:01,120 --> 01:20:03,282
Watch his head, watch his head.

1113
01:20:06,000 --> 01:20:08,321
How are you doing?
All right, take it easy.

1114
01:20:09,440 --> 01:20:11,681
Terry. Our guys are gassed.

1115
01:20:11,880 --> 01:20:15,771
Poly's coming on strong. There's no way
we can start Beaser or Chris...

1116
01:20:15,960 --> 01:20:18,804
or any of our two-way players
in the second half.

1117
01:20:21,040 --> 01:20:23,486
Empty the coolers,
check the concession stands.

1118
01:20:23,680 --> 01:20:26,365
Grab all the ice they have.
You've got two minutes.

1119
01:20:26,560 --> 01:20:27,971
- Right.
- I need your help.

1120
01:20:28,160 --> 01:20:29,889
There is no a.c. in here.

1121
01:20:30,080 --> 01:20:32,321
Assess the kids' physical condition.

1122
01:20:32,520 --> 01:20:35,808
Determine if they can play.
You're gonna handle substitutions.

1123
01:20:36,000 --> 01:20:38,924
- Okay, coach.
- Rotate in the second-stringers.

1124
01:20:39,120 --> 01:20:42,124
I don't want any kid on that field
that's not fit to play.

1125
01:20:42,320 --> 01:20:44,607
I don't care if it costs us the game.

1126
01:20:50,160 --> 01:20:54,165
The Spartans are literally dragging
themselves back...

1127
01:20:54,360 --> 01:20:56,886
on what has become
a 100-yard blast furnace...

1128
01:20:57,120 --> 01:21:01,125
as the heat continues
to be a major factor in this game.

1129
01:21:03,120 --> 01:21:04,770
Hey, Poly.

1130
01:21:05,000 --> 01:21:08,288
Anybody so much as waves
at your moms, you're on suspension.

1131
01:21:08,480 --> 01:21:11,802
There is nothing to celebrate, yet.

1132
01:21:12,000 --> 01:21:14,048
Finish these guys. They're fading.

1133
01:21:14,240 --> 01:21:15,526
- Long Beach!
- Poly!

1134
01:21:15,760 --> 01:21:16,921
- Long Beach!
- Poly!

1135
01:21:17,120 --> 01:21:19,282
- Long Beach! Long Beach!
- Poly! Poly!

1136
01:21:19,520 --> 01:21:22,330
Sanchez, Antoine, Lance. Come on.

1137
01:21:22,560 --> 01:21:25,564
Coach Bob Ladouceur
is buying some rest for his starters...

1138
01:21:25,760 --> 01:21:28,047
by sending in his second-stringers.

1139
01:21:33,360 --> 01:21:34,407
Down, set, hut!

1140
01:21:41,160 --> 01:21:44,448
- Come on, you guys!
- Here we go, here we go, here we go.

1141
01:21:44,640 --> 01:21:46,483
Hut, hut!

1142
01:21:46,760 --> 01:21:49,809
Poly is pounding
on De La Salle's second string.

1143
01:21:50,000 --> 01:21:51,809
Can somebody please make a tackle?

1144
01:21:55,000 --> 01:21:57,207
- Get in.
- Coming in for De La Salle...

1145
01:21:57,400 --> 01:22:00,563
- ...number 25, Arturo Garcia.
- Right here, right here.

1146
01:22:00,760 --> 01:22:04,890
- You got it, buddy. Come on.
- Here we go, Spartans.

1147
01:22:05,080 --> 01:22:07,003
Set, hut!

1148
01:22:08,840 --> 01:22:12,925
Poly executes a perfect screen pass
for an eight-yard gain.

1149
01:22:13,120 --> 01:22:15,282
- Hey, hey! What was that?
- Oh, man.

1150
01:22:15,800 --> 01:22:19,361
Buster Matthews has crushed
one of the smallest players...

1151
01:22:19,560 --> 01:22:21,130
on the De La Salle team.

1152
01:22:21,320 --> 01:22:26,360
Arturo Garcia is listed
at only 147 pounds.

1153
01:22:26,560 --> 01:22:30,360
That's gonna cost the Jackrabbits
15 yards, making it third and long.

1154
01:22:36,720 --> 01:22:40,805
Oh, man!
Arturo Garcia gets revenge...

1155
01:22:41,000 --> 01:22:44,971
making a huge tackle to keep Poly
from making a critical first down.

1156
01:22:45,160 --> 01:22:46,207
Get up, Arturo.

1157
01:22:46,440 --> 01:22:50,240
Spartans' second string is playing
tough against the bigger Poly team...

1158
01:22:50,480 --> 01:22:53,131
and made them scrape
for every yard.

1159
01:22:53,360 --> 01:22:57,331
The question is, how much longer
can Terry Eidson leave these guys in...

1160
01:22:57,520 --> 01:22:59,887
- before Poly's offense explodes?
- Great!

1161
01:23:02,360 --> 01:23:03,885
That was amazing. Amazing.

1162
01:23:04,640 --> 01:23:07,928
Poly lines up for a field goal.
High snap.

1163
01:23:10,360 --> 01:23:12,044
The kick is up, and...

1164
01:23:14,400 --> 01:23:16,846
- ...no good.
- Yeah! Let's go!

1165
01:23:17,560 --> 01:23:19,130
See that? That's on you.

1166
01:23:19,320 --> 01:23:22,369
If you don't make that stop,
they don't miss that field goal.

1167
01:23:22,600 --> 01:23:26,161
Poly misses.
The score remains 21-17.

1168
01:23:28,160 --> 01:23:31,926
Yo, coach, coach. Yo, take a look at us,
man. We ready to go.

1169
01:23:32,120 --> 01:23:33,804
- Beaser?
- I'm ready.

1170
01:23:34,000 --> 01:23:35,047
- Tayshon?
- I'm ready.

1171
01:23:35,280 --> 01:23:36,725
- Ready?
- Let's do it.

1172
01:23:36,920 --> 01:23:38,684
Bob. They're ready.

1173
01:23:39,280 --> 01:23:41,009
- You sure?
- Absolutely.

1174
01:23:41,240 --> 01:23:44,528
- All right, D, 40 cover two and go.
- Let's go, man. Let's go.

1175
01:23:44,840 --> 01:23:47,969
It looks like the starters are running back
onto the field.

1176
01:23:49,480 --> 01:23:53,405
This is no longer about who the bigger,
faster, stronger players are.

1177
01:23:53,600 --> 01:23:55,887
It's about who plays with more heart.

1178
01:23:57,320 --> 01:23:59,288
- Relax. We're good.
- That's right.

1179
01:24:00,760 --> 01:24:02,330
- Fifty!
- Draw right.

1180
01:24:02,760 --> 01:24:05,127
Set, hut!

1181
01:24:09,200 --> 01:24:11,646
Go, go, go!

1182
01:24:15,400 --> 01:24:16,890
No! No!

1183
01:24:20,880 --> 01:24:22,723
The Jackrabbits have come back...

1184
01:24:22,920 --> 01:24:26,686
and now lead 24-21
over an exhausted De La Salle.

1185
01:24:29,440 --> 01:24:33,206
Chris is getting blocked by 280-pound
guards while playing linebacker...

1186
01:24:33,400 --> 01:24:37,485
then being tackled by 300-pounders
when he's running the ball.

1187
01:24:37,680 --> 01:24:41,366
- That's how you wrap them up! Good job!
- Get off of him!

1188
01:24:48,400 --> 01:24:52,530
- How are they still on their feet?
- Those linebackers are flying out of there.

1189
01:24:52,720 --> 01:24:53,846
Run the draw. Go.

1190
01:24:54,040 --> 01:24:55,246
Set, hut!

1191
01:24:58,640 --> 01:25:00,768
Come on, Chris! Come on, Chris!

1192
01:25:03,160 --> 01:25:04,844
Yeah! Go!

1193
01:25:05,040 --> 01:25:10,729
Chris Ryan's spectacular run
puts the Spartans back on top, 28-24.

1194
01:25:10,920 --> 01:25:13,764
What do you think?
You can't play with the Beast.

1195
01:25:14,000 --> 01:25:15,729
You can't play with the Beast.

1196
01:25:15,960 --> 01:25:20,329
With two minutes left in what is a classic
high-school football game...

1197
01:25:20,560 --> 01:25:22,085
Hut!

1198
01:25:22,560 --> 01:25:24,244
Shed these blocks!

1199
01:25:24,440 --> 01:25:26,647
These guys are half your size.

1200
01:25:27,080 --> 01:25:31,483
Start playing like the number-one team
in this country before you aren't!

1201
01:25:43,320 --> 01:25:46,961
Derrick Jones makes
an unbelievable fingertip catch...

1202
01:25:47,200 --> 01:25:51,808
at the Spartans' four-yard line
as 15,000 fans go crazy.

1203
01:25:55,320 --> 01:25:58,847
With 1:02 left in the game,
Long Beach Poly has a first down...

1204
01:25:59,040 --> 01:26:01,566
- ...on De La Salle's four-yard line.
- Hold them.

1205
01:26:01,800 --> 01:26:03,245
Blue 32. Blue 37.

1206
01:26:03,440 --> 01:26:05,408
Set, hut!

1207
01:26:12,320 --> 01:26:15,767
Tayshon Lanear with a monster hit
on first down.

1208
01:26:15,960 --> 01:26:18,725
- Textbook!
- This kid has played a terrific game...

1209
01:26:18,920 --> 01:26:22,083
- ...in his first start.
- Double-tight rocket special. Go.

1210
01:26:22,320 --> 01:26:27,008
Looks like Foster is injured on the play
as he limps off the field.

1211
01:26:27,240 --> 01:26:31,006
You're in that corner for Foster.
That ball goes up, come down with it.

1212
01:26:32,040 --> 01:26:33,405
Okay.

1213
01:26:40,440 --> 01:26:44,809
Pulling out all the stops, Lara is sending
in sophomore fullback Jason Knight.

1214
01:26:45,000 --> 01:26:49,324
At 257 pounds, this kid is bigger
than most pro running backs.

1215
01:26:50,040 --> 01:26:51,769
Bang them. Do not let them score.

1216
01:26:51,960 --> 01:26:53,962
Blue 72. Set, hut!

1217
01:26:57,840 --> 01:27:01,049
Pass! Pass! Pass!

1218
01:27:05,160 --> 01:27:06,571
Yes!

1219
01:27:07,840 --> 01:27:09,569
Wow, what a save.

1220
01:27:09,760 --> 01:27:12,127
The tight end was open
in the end zone...

1221
01:27:12,320 --> 01:27:14,766
but Danny Ladouceur comes out
of nowhere...

1222
01:27:15,000 --> 01:27:16,843
- ...to make a huge play.
- All right.

1223
01:27:17,080 --> 01:27:19,048
- Watch the sweep.
- Break for 22.

1224
01:27:19,240 --> 01:27:20,571
Set, hut!

1225
01:27:29,960 --> 01:27:35,524
Spartan linebacker Davis makes another
big stop, but Chris Ryan is down.

1226
01:27:35,720 --> 01:27:38,007
This would be a huge loss
for De La Salle.

1227
01:27:38,200 --> 01:27:40,646
- Let me see. Let me see.
- Get away.

1228
01:27:40,840 --> 01:27:42,683
Get out. Get out, come on.

1229
01:27:42,880 --> 01:27:46,123
Only way I'm going out of this game
is on a stretcher.

1230
01:27:47,920 --> 01:27:50,844
- All right, hold on.
- Fourth and goal, folks.

1231
01:27:51,040 --> 01:27:54,567
This game has come down
to one play.

1232
01:27:54,760 --> 01:28:00,403
A critical play, not just for the game,
but for the rest of the Spartans' season.

1233
01:28:00,600 --> 01:28:03,001
Poly lines up in a Power I.

1234
01:28:03,200 --> 01:28:06,124
Green 37. Green 37.

1235
01:28:06,520 --> 01:28:08,249
Down.

1236
01:28:11,640 --> 01:28:13,847
Forty back. Watch out for 2.

1237
01:28:28,520 --> 01:28:30,602
Come on, D. Come on, D.

1238
01:28:50,600 --> 01:28:53,171
Yeah! Yeah!

1239
01:29:00,520 --> 01:29:02,329
Yeah, Spartans! Let's go!

1240
01:29:03,400 --> 01:29:07,485
De La Salle started their season O and 2
and lost their win streak...

1241
01:29:07,680 --> 01:29:10,365
but have come back
to stun the football world...

1242
01:29:10,560 --> 01:29:14,007
by knocking off the number-one
rated team in the country.

1243
01:29:14,240 --> 01:29:17,722
Folks, I have played football
and gone home exhausted...

1244
01:29:17,920 --> 01:29:21,288
I have broadcast games
and gone home elated...

1245
01:29:21,480 --> 01:29:25,280
but today, I go home inspired.

1246
01:29:25,760 --> 01:29:28,525
The De La Salle Spartans
have a new lease on life...

1247
01:29:28,720 --> 01:29:31,564
as they go into league games
in Northern California.

1248
01:29:31,800 --> 01:29:35,122
Hey, coach. Coach Ladouceur.
Can I get a comment?

1249
01:29:36,040 --> 01:29:37,530
Danny.

1250
01:29:40,080 --> 01:29:42,128
- Hey.
- Hey, Dad.

1251
01:29:42,320 --> 01:29:44,766
You made a heck of a play
on second down.

1252
01:29:45,240 --> 01:29:47,083
You saved the game.

1253
01:29:49,960 --> 01:29:51,769
Thanks, coach.

1254
01:29:52,120 --> 01:29:54,088
Yeah!

1255
01:30:11,160 --> 01:30:13,049
Fantastic. Everyone looks great.

1256
01:30:13,240 --> 01:30:15,368
Tonight, the feeling is electric.

1257
01:30:15,560 --> 01:30:18,769
The team's rolling up right now,
it couldn't be more exciting.

1258
01:30:18,960 --> 01:30:20,081
This is what these people...

1259
01:30:21,520 --> 01:30:22,601
have been waiting for.

1260
01:30:22,800 --> 01:30:23,847
Tayshon, come on.

1261
01:30:24,040 --> 01:30:26,646
- Beaser, take that sign down.
- Yes, sir.

1262
01:30:26,840 --> 01:30:29,207
Come on, buddy.
Don't be shy, chat with us.

1263
01:30:29,440 --> 01:30:30,646
Hey, man, take it down.

1264
01:30:30,840 --> 01:30:34,970
How does it feel to go from being
the biggest loser to the biggest winner?

1265
01:30:36,280 --> 01:30:37,805
- It's great.
- Great?

1266
01:30:38,000 --> 01:30:41,243
Dude, you are on your way
to a new streak!

1267
01:30:41,640 --> 01:30:42,846
No, no.

1268
01:30:43,640 --> 01:30:45,847
Streak!

1269
01:30:47,000 --> 01:30:50,447
Our goal is to go out
and give the perfect effort on every play.

1270
01:30:50,640 --> 01:30:52,290
Perfect effort? The secret?

1271
01:30:52,480 --> 01:30:55,324
But we a team, and Chris Ryan is like...

1272
01:30:55,520 --> 01:30:58,569
ls dope, no doubt,
but, look, man, you are a star.

1273
01:30:58,800 --> 01:31:02,009
You're the man who's gonna lead DLS
to the next what?

1274
01:31:02,200 --> 01:31:04,043
- The next what?
- Streak!

1275
01:31:04,240 --> 01:31:06,004
Streak! Streak! Streak!

1276
01:31:06,200 --> 01:31:07,440
Another streak, baby!

1277
01:31:07,640 --> 01:31:10,610
Yes! One hundred and fifty games!

1278
01:31:10,800 --> 01:31:12,609
- Streak! Streak! Streak!
- Let's go.

1279
01:31:12,800 --> 01:31:16,600
Streak! Streak! Streak!

1280
01:31:16,800 --> 01:31:22,887
Streak! Streak! Streak!

1281
01:31:37,720 --> 01:31:38,767
There he goes!

1282
01:31:45,280 --> 01:31:47,282
Growing up is tough.

1283
01:31:47,520 --> 01:31:49,522
It's not easy.

1284
01:31:49,960 --> 01:31:52,122
That's what our program's about.

1285
01:31:52,800 --> 01:31:55,326
It ain't about the football.

1286
01:31:55,520 --> 01:31:58,251
It ain't about scoring the touchdowns.

1287
01:32:01,400 --> 01:32:02,890
It's about moving you...

1288
01:32:04,360 --> 01:32:09,366
- ...in a direction that can help you grow up.
- And forgive us for our trespasses...

1289
01:32:09,560 --> 01:32:12,040
So when you take your place
out in the world...

1290
01:32:12,240 --> 01:32:16,290
or out in our community,
you can be depended on.

1291
01:32:24,120 --> 01:32:25,849
You guys are rock stars!

1292
01:32:26,600 --> 01:32:28,011
Great game, Chris!

1293
01:32:29,240 --> 01:32:32,608
- Hey, streak 2.0!
- It's a streak, man.

1294
01:32:37,000 --> 01:32:39,924
Faculty housing is also subsidized.

1295
01:32:40,120 --> 01:32:41,485
What's the offer?

1296
01:32:41,680 --> 01:32:44,843
Three hundred fifty thousand.
Three years. Firm.

1297
01:32:45,080 --> 01:32:46,445
Performance bonus. Car.

1298
01:32:47,640 --> 01:32:50,450
Stanford sees you
as a valuable investment.

1299
01:33:17,400 --> 01:33:21,291
Hey, coach. Great game Friday.
Three more touchdowns for the Beast.

1300
01:33:21,480 --> 01:33:23,289
Yeah, he played well.

1301
01:33:23,480 --> 01:33:25,164
- Whole team did.
- Hey, Chris!

1302
01:33:25,360 --> 01:33:26,646
Over here! Hi!

1303
01:33:26,840 --> 01:33:28,080
What's up?

1304
01:33:28,280 --> 01:33:30,487
Get ready to break that scoring record.

1305
01:33:30,680 --> 01:33:33,251
Got a place for the trophy
all picked out.

1306
01:33:33,440 --> 01:33:35,010
- Hey, Mickey?
- Yeah?

1307
01:33:35,200 --> 01:33:38,921
Did Chris show you the thesis he wrote
for my class on Matthew 23:12?

1308
01:33:39,320 --> 01:33:41,926
Amazingly insightful
for someone his age.

1309
01:33:42,120 --> 01:33:45,488
Really terrific. You should read it.

1310
01:33:48,640 --> 01:33:51,246
Matthew 23:12? Seriously?

1311
01:33:51,440 --> 01:33:53,329
What's he talking about?

1312
01:33:53,560 --> 01:33:56,643
We're on our way to a championship,
a state record.

1313
01:33:56,840 --> 01:33:59,161
Those who exalt themselves
will be humbled...

1314
01:33:59,400 --> 01:34:01,846
those who humble themselves
will be exalted.

1315
01:34:02,040 --> 01:34:03,166
- Exalted?
- Yeah.

1316
01:34:03,400 --> 01:34:07,610
You get 37 touchdowns in the season,
then you'll be exalted.

1317
01:34:12,400 --> 01:34:16,610
Do you realize what winning this record
is gonna mean for you? For your life?

1318
01:34:16,800 --> 01:34:20,009
Do you have any idea
how people are gonna look at you?

1319
01:34:20,200 --> 01:34:22,328
How they're gonna respect you?

1320
01:34:22,920 --> 01:34:25,287
Breaking this record,
you'll have something...

1321
01:34:25,480 --> 01:34:29,246
that nobody can ever take from you.
Nobody.

1322
01:34:29,600 --> 01:34:33,241
That's why I push you so hard.
It's not about me, it's about you.

1323
01:34:37,000 --> 01:34:39,241
You're a salesman, Dad.

1324
01:34:40,920 --> 01:34:41,967
I'm a what?

1325
01:34:43,040 --> 01:34:45,042
You sell cars.

1326
01:34:45,440 --> 01:34:47,488
Don't try and sell me.

1327
01:34:47,880 --> 01:34:49,723
This is for you.

1328
01:34:49,920 --> 01:34:53,083
I'm just another one of your trophies
you keep in your case.

1329
01:34:53,280 --> 01:34:57,490
Like all the medals you've been collecting
to show everybody when they walk in.

1330
01:34:57,680 --> 01:34:59,091
I am sick of it.

1331
01:34:59,280 --> 01:35:02,204
What are you trying to say?
You don't want this record?

1332
01:35:02,400 --> 01:35:05,165
What do you care?
It's always about what you want!

1333
01:35:05,360 --> 01:35:08,204
You little punk.
Don't you ever talk to me like that!

1334
01:35:08,400 --> 01:35:11,290
While you live in my house,
you will do as I say...

1335
01:35:11,480 --> 01:35:15,485
and you will show me the respect
I deserve! You understand me?

1336
01:35:15,680 --> 01:35:18,081
Now you tell me
with that mouth of yours...

1337
01:35:18,280 --> 01:35:21,921
you promise me that you'll go out
and get me that record.

1338
01:35:22,320 --> 01:35:24,448
Promise me, Chris.

1339
01:35:25,000 --> 01:35:26,047
Okay.

1340
01:35:26,280 --> 01:35:29,807
No, Chris.
I wanna hear you say it. Say it!

1341
01:35:30,000 --> 01:35:32,162
I promise I'll get you that record, Dad!

1342
01:35:32,360 --> 01:35:34,203
Attaboy.

1343
01:35:41,640 --> 01:35:45,929
And in local sports, we toss it to Jim,
who's standing by at De La Salle high.

1344
01:35:46,120 --> 01:35:49,966
De La Salle Spartans pulled off
one of the greatest comebacks in sports.

1345
01:35:50,160 --> 01:35:51,764
After a devastating opening...

1346
01:35:51,960 --> 01:35:54,566
they're poised
to compete for their 13th championship.

1347
01:35:54,760 --> 01:35:57,161
Dad, look.
It's about the championship game.

1348
01:35:57,360 --> 01:36:01,524
All around me and very excited
are the new generation of Spartans.

1349
01:36:01,720 --> 01:36:04,724
- What grade are you guys in?
- Sophomores, play on the JV.

1350
01:36:04,920 --> 01:36:08,242
You're riding a nine-game streak.
What do you think about that?

1351
01:36:08,440 --> 01:36:11,569
If we go undefeated
in our junior-and senior-year season...

1352
01:36:11,760 --> 01:36:14,650
we're gonna push this streak
to 33 games in a row.

1353
01:36:14,840 --> 01:36:16,490
Thirty-three, 33, 33!

1354
01:36:16,680 --> 01:36:18,808
Thirty-three games in a row.

1355
01:36:19,040 --> 01:36:21,441
- Thirty-three, 33, 33!
- Back to you.

1356
01:36:21,640 --> 01:36:23,881
Thirty-three, 33, 33!

1357
01:36:29,840 --> 01:36:31,330
Bob?

1358
01:36:46,640 --> 01:36:48,529
Hey, you.

1359
01:36:51,920 --> 01:36:54,161
Yeah, I couldn't sleep.

1360
01:36:58,560 --> 01:37:02,167
Are you seriously considering that?

1361
01:37:02,680 --> 01:37:05,081
You know, when we started this
25 years ago...

1362
01:37:05,280 --> 01:37:07,362
there was no Internet.

1363
01:37:07,560 --> 01:37:09,449
No high-school football on TV.

1364
01:37:09,640 --> 01:37:12,530
Not every kid alive was a celebrity.

1365
01:37:12,760 --> 01:37:14,762
It's all changed now.

1366
01:37:16,640 --> 01:37:19,405
Maybe the kids have changed too.

1367
01:37:21,640 --> 01:37:24,723
All the things I've taught
and believed in.

1368
01:37:26,960 --> 01:37:30,282
I don't know
if I'm still doing much good here.

1369
01:37:34,360 --> 01:37:36,761
I better get some sleep.

1370
01:38:56,200 --> 01:38:57,611
Is this mine?

1371
01:38:57,800 --> 01:39:00,610
Who else's would it be?
Of course it's yours.

1372
01:39:01,360 --> 01:39:02,805
How do I look?

1373
01:39:03,040 --> 01:39:05,805
- Real cool, man. Real cool.
- Thank you.

1374
01:39:07,200 --> 01:39:10,409
- Oh, my gosh. Okay, I'm dying, I'm dying.
- Thank you again.

1375
01:39:10,600 --> 01:39:12,921
Get dressed. Let's go to the game.

1376
01:39:13,120 --> 01:39:15,407
De La Salle staged
a miraculous comeback...

1377
01:39:15,600 --> 01:39:19,127
for an unprecedented 13th shot
at the sectional championship.

1378
01:39:19,320 --> 01:39:22,961
On the line for running back Chris Ryan
is a personal quest...

1379
01:39:23,160 --> 01:39:27,290
as he takes the field only three
touchdowns away from breaking a record.

1380
01:39:29,240 --> 01:39:32,528
Let us begin.
Our father, who art in heaven...

1381
01:39:32,720 --> 01:39:34,051
hallowed be thy name.

1382
01:39:34,280 --> 01:39:37,887
Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done
on earth as it is in heaven.

1383
01:39:38,080 --> 01:39:41,607
Give us this day our daily bread
and forgive us our trespasses...

1384
01:39:41,800 --> 01:39:44,280
as we forgive those
who trespass against us.

1385
01:39:44,480 --> 01:39:47,962
Lead us not to temptation,
but deliver us from evil. Amen.

1386
01:39:48,160 --> 01:39:49,764
- One, two, three.
- Spartans!

1387
01:39:50,000 --> 01:39:53,322
This season is ending
with De La Salle in a familiar place:

1388
01:39:53,520 --> 01:39:56,842
Competing for their 13th
North Coast section championship.

1389
01:40:02,520 --> 01:40:04,682
Danny Ladouceur is slammed
to the turf...

1390
01:40:04,880 --> 01:40:07,690
but somehow holds on
for a De La Salle first down.

1391
01:40:07,880 --> 01:40:10,963
- Yeah, Danny boy!
- Huddle up. Get it to Chris. Let's go.

1392
01:40:11,160 --> 01:40:13,401
De La Salle is a favorite
to win this game.

1393
01:40:13,600 --> 01:40:18,322
And most eyes are on Chris Ryan's
quest for a touchdown scoring record.

1394
01:40:25,640 --> 01:40:26,801
Yeah!

1395
01:40:27,040 --> 01:40:29,088
Yeah, that's it! That's it! Way to go.

1396
01:40:29,280 --> 01:40:33,171
One down, two to go for the record.
Two more touchdowns for the record.

1397
01:40:33,360 --> 01:40:36,443
Chris Ryan's historic run
at the state touchdown record...

1398
01:40:36,640 --> 01:40:41,885
continues with another touchdown
as De La Salle takes a 7-0 lead.

1399
01:40:45,400 --> 01:40:46,925
Pick him up!

1400
01:40:50,360 --> 01:40:51,691
No!

1401
01:40:52,600 --> 01:40:53,965
Why didn't you tackle him?

1402
01:40:54,160 --> 01:40:56,128
It is a contact sport.

1403
01:40:56,360 --> 01:40:58,567
You can hit someone.
It's encouraged even.

1404
01:40:58,760 --> 01:40:59,807
Yes!

1405
01:41:00,000 --> 01:41:02,480
With just a little over
five minutes left...

1406
01:41:02,680 --> 01:41:07,242
in the second quarter in this hard-fought
championship, the score is tied, 7-7.

1407
01:41:07,760 --> 01:41:10,366
Beaser, you need
to keep him contained!

1408
01:41:10,560 --> 01:41:13,086
Hut, blue one, hut!

1409
01:41:13,520 --> 01:41:15,249
Reverse! Reverse!

1410
01:41:20,200 --> 01:41:22,487
- Contain the runner!
- Contain the runner!

1411
01:41:23,000 --> 01:41:26,925
Amador Valley dips into its bag of tricks,
but Joe Beaser isn't fooled.

1412
01:41:27,120 --> 01:41:29,726
The senior defensive end
played that perfectly.

1413
01:41:31,360 --> 01:41:34,603
De La Salle is up 14-7
here in the fourth quarter.

1414
01:41:34,800 --> 01:41:37,770
The Spartans have the ball
on the Dons' 35-yard line.

1415
01:41:37,960 --> 01:41:42,602
Chris Ryan is one touchdown away
from tying the state record.

1416
01:41:45,360 --> 01:41:46,646
Danny.

1417
01:41:47,040 --> 01:41:48,530
Coach.

1418
01:41:49,480 --> 01:41:50,925
Watch the defensive back.

1419
01:41:51,160 --> 01:41:54,289
He leans inside a lot.
When he does, beat him to the corner.

1420
01:41:54,480 --> 01:41:57,529
Give him a hard fake on your first move.
Finish strong.

1421
01:41:57,720 --> 01:41:59,290
Corner.

1422
01:42:00,600 --> 01:42:03,046
Thirty-four, 34. Give it to 34.

1423
01:42:05,160 --> 01:42:07,925
Chris, Chris, Chris!

1424
01:42:08,120 --> 01:42:10,771
Down. Set, hut!

1425
01:42:25,000 --> 01:42:26,968
- Yeah!
- Chris Ryan won't be denied.

1426
01:42:27,200 --> 01:42:30,682
He scores again to give De La Salle
a two-touchdown advantage.

1427
01:42:30,880 --> 01:42:34,566
He is now just one touchdown away
from breaking the state record.

1428
01:42:34,760 --> 01:42:36,091
One more for the record.

1429
01:42:39,000 --> 01:42:40,240
Set, hut!

1430
01:42:44,880 --> 01:42:46,325
Salinas.

1431
01:42:48,200 --> 01:42:50,328
This is your final drive as a Spartan.

1432
01:42:50,560 --> 01:42:51,686
Coach?

1433
01:42:51,880 --> 01:42:54,565
It's yours. You call the plays.

1434
01:42:54,760 --> 01:42:58,481
Chris, Chris, Chris!

1435
01:42:58,680 --> 01:43:02,127
Strong right, 16 midline on one. Ready?

1436
01:43:02,360 --> 01:43:06,843
Chris, Chris, Chris!

1437
01:43:07,040 --> 01:43:09,646
Down. Set, hut!

1438
01:43:12,760 --> 01:43:14,489
Go, come on!

1439
01:43:16,120 --> 01:43:19,283
Come on, block for him!
Give him some help, will you?

1440
01:43:24,920 --> 01:43:26,490
Come on!

1441
01:43:29,720 --> 01:43:33,202
One more for the record.
Give it to the Beast. Give it to Chris.

1442
01:43:38,760 --> 01:43:40,046
Down.

1443
01:43:44,280 --> 01:43:45,725
Set, hut!

1444
01:43:56,840 --> 01:43:58,490
Booyah, baby!

1445
01:44:00,160 --> 01:44:02,731
Hey, good catch, dog.

1446
01:44:02,960 --> 01:44:06,681
Come on, come on. There's still time.
Still time. Let's get it to Chris.

1447
01:44:06,920 --> 01:44:10,641
Chris, Chris, Chris!

1448
01:44:10,840 --> 01:44:12,808
Break that record, son. Let's go.

1449
01:44:13,440 --> 01:44:16,330
Here we go, baby,
41 blast into the record books.

1450
01:44:18,040 --> 01:44:19,246
Here we go.

1451
01:44:19,480 --> 01:44:22,245
It's the last play of the game, dog.
Make me proud.

1452
01:44:31,840 --> 01:44:33,524
Time out.

1453
01:44:36,960 --> 01:44:41,249
- What are they doing?
- I don't know. It's their drive.

1454
01:44:42,240 --> 01:44:45,084
- What are you doing?
- Coach Lad's doing this for me.

1455
01:44:45,280 --> 01:44:48,090
- He won't say...
- Dude, what are you talking about?

1456
01:44:48,520 --> 01:44:52,923
I just... I don't want my last play
as a Spartan to be about me.

1457
01:44:53,120 --> 01:44:55,885
Why not?
You trained to get here, you deserve it.

1458
01:44:56,440 --> 01:44:58,363
Look, it's an easy shot.

1459
01:44:58,600 --> 01:45:01,046
He never took the easy shot.

1460
01:45:01,240 --> 01:45:03,561
Coming back to coach us,
he could have died.

1461
01:45:03,760 --> 01:45:05,524
And what have we done for him?

1462
01:45:05,720 --> 01:45:08,724
Won a few games? A championship?

1463
01:45:10,640 --> 01:45:12,051
No, he's right.

1464
01:45:12,800 --> 01:45:16,566
While we've been staring at the dirt,
coach has been saying look up.

1465
01:45:16,840 --> 01:45:18,842
It's about time we did.

1466
01:45:19,480 --> 01:45:23,246
It's time for us to stand tall.
Victory formation.

1467
01:45:23,440 --> 01:45:25,841
No, no, no. You gotta do it.

1468
01:45:27,400 --> 01:45:28,526
All right.

1469
01:45:29,000 --> 01:45:32,846
Boys, no matter where we go
or what we achieve...

1470
01:45:33,040 --> 01:45:36,044
nothing's gonna come close
to what we have right here.

1471
01:45:36,240 --> 01:45:38,561
You're all my brothers.
Spartans for life.

1472
01:45:38,760 --> 01:45:40,410
Spartans for life.

1473
01:45:40,640 --> 01:45:43,484
Shotgun formation, direct snap,
on me, on one. Ready?

1474
01:45:44,760 --> 01:45:47,240
De La Salle is lining up
in shotgun formation...

1475
01:45:47,480 --> 01:45:50,211
but Chris Ryan is quarterback
instead of Salinas.

1476
01:45:50,680 --> 01:45:53,604
This is a formation we haven't seen
from De La Salle.

1477
01:45:53,800 --> 01:45:58,601
Look for Ryan to run this in for his
record-setting 89th career touchdown.

1478
01:45:58,800 --> 01:46:01,849
Maybe this wasn't the best time
to give Salinas free will.

1479
01:46:04,360 --> 01:46:06,283
Down. Set, hut!

1480
01:46:06,480 --> 01:46:09,882
- There's the snap, and Ryan...
- What the hell was that?

1481
01:46:10,080 --> 01:46:11,127
takes a knee.

1482
01:46:11,320 --> 01:46:15,006
Wow, rather than running in
for his 89th career touchdown...

1483
01:46:15,200 --> 01:46:17,487
Chris Ryan instead opts
to take a knee.

1484
01:46:17,720 --> 01:46:19,324
What are you doing, coach?

1485
01:46:21,440 --> 01:46:25,809
Let him run it. Forty-one blast, come on.
There's still time. Run it! Run it!

1486
01:46:26,000 --> 01:46:29,766
- Mickey, Bob's not calling the plays.
- You don't understand football.

1487
01:46:29,960 --> 01:46:31,291
It's not about football.

1488
01:46:31,800 --> 01:46:35,009
Your husband is costing my son
this record.

1489
01:46:35,240 --> 01:46:37,766
My husband's turning your son
into a man.

1490
01:46:37,960 --> 01:46:41,567
- You're the only person who doesn't see.
- Down, set, hut!

1491
01:46:43,040 --> 01:46:44,166
No, no, no. Come on.

1492
01:46:44,360 --> 01:46:47,887
- Ryan takes another knee.
- Time out. Stop that clock, Ladouceur.

1493
01:46:48,240 --> 01:46:50,083
Stop that clock and run that play.

1494
01:46:50,280 --> 01:46:52,931
Run the play!
Let him get the record! Come on!

1495
01:47:24,080 --> 01:47:28,404
What could've been a record-shattering
night has now turned into a tribute...

1496
01:47:28,600 --> 01:47:32,571
to the man who took them here,
Coach Bob Ladouceur.

1497
01:48:02,000 --> 01:48:05,891
- Why didn't that boy get his record?
- Because it's not about the record.

1498
01:48:06,120 --> 01:48:09,283
- Nine, eight, seven, six...
- it's about the team.

1499
01:48:09,480 --> 01:48:10,766
five, four...

1500
01:48:11,000 --> 01:48:14,402
three, two, one.

1501
01:48:16,400 --> 01:48:18,971
Yeah!

1502
01:48:30,000 --> 01:48:31,525
For you.

1503
01:48:36,120 --> 01:48:37,451
Come here.

1504
01:48:44,200 --> 01:48:51,209
DLS, DLS, DLS!

1505
01:49:28,680 --> 01:49:30,523
Remember one other thing:

1506
01:49:30,720 --> 01:49:35,044
Nobody on this staff expects you
to play perfect tonight.

1507
01:49:35,240 --> 01:49:38,130
That's impossible.
But what we do expect...

1508
01:49:38,320 --> 01:49:41,483
and you should expect
from yourself and each other...

1509
01:49:41,720 --> 01:49:43,768
is a perfect effort.

1510
01:49:51,400 --> 01:49:53,323
I'll say this about Bob Ladouceur...

1511
01:49:55,800 --> 01:49:59,725
that he's a better coach
than our big-time college coaches...

1512
01:49:59,920 --> 01:50:03,686
and he's a better coach
than our big-time pro coaches.

1513
01:50:08,720 --> 01:50:12,566
Everybody stands up as an individual
and says, "My name is DJ Williams.

1514
01:50:15,680 --> 01:50:19,480
I commit to 20 carries, 150 yards,
seven tackles and no dropped passes."

1515
01:50:19,680 --> 01:50:23,605
Once you say that, you hand the card
to somebody, and you shake hands...

1516
01:50:23,840 --> 01:50:26,446
and they say,
"I hold you to that commitment."

1517
01:50:31,280 --> 01:50:35,490
To the Kelly family,
Landrin and Bevelyn.

1518
01:50:35,680 --> 01:50:40,891
My heart breaks for your loss,
and I pray for your recovery.

1519
01:50:41,840 --> 01:50:43,410
God bless you both...

1520
01:50:43,600 --> 01:50:47,400
and please,
take some solace in the fact...

1521
01:50:47,600 --> 01:50:50,809
that you did a fantastic job.

1522
01:51:02,040 --> 01:51:05,283
I told you before,
this is the last thing I'm gonna say.

1523
01:51:05,480 --> 01:51:08,290
Growing up is painful.

1524
01:51:08,480 --> 01:51:10,801
It's not easy.

1525
01:51:11,880 --> 01:51:15,885
But that's what our program is about,
in case you haven't figured it out.

1526
01:51:16,560 --> 01:51:18,688
It ain't about the football.

1527
01:51:18,880 --> 01:51:21,724
It ain't about scoring touchdowns.

1528
01:51:21,920 --> 01:51:23,968
It ain't about the win streak.

1529
01:51:24,160 --> 01:51:26,731
It's about moving you in a direction...

1530
01:51:27,280 --> 01:51:31,808
that will assist you
and help you grow up.

1531
01:51:32,520 --> 01:51:35,285
So when you can take your place...

1532
01:51:35,480 --> 01:51:39,166
out in the world, and out in society,
and out in our community...

1533
01:51:39,360 --> 01:51:43,445
you can be depended on.

1534
01:51:43,720 --> 01:51:44,926
Lad said it. He goes:

1535
01:51:46,360 --> 01:51:48,400
"You know,
if, you know, Terry wasn't on my staff...

1536
01:51:48,440 --> 01:51:50,488
I wouldn't be doing this right now."

1537
01:51:50,720 --> 01:51:54,247
There's a tremendous bond
of trust and friendship that's there.

1538
01:51:54,440 --> 01:51:56,647
They share a commitment
to their players.

1539
01:51:56,840 --> 01:52:00,731
No matter what's going on,
the players come first...

1540
01:52:00,920 --> 01:52:02,570
and that means the team.

1541
01:52:02,760 --> 01:52:05,764
They will never sacrifice the team
for the individual.

1542
01:52:05,960 --> 01:52:08,440
And all they wanna do
is create a community...

1543
01:52:08,640 --> 01:52:11,246
have a common goal,
and play the game.

1544
01:52:18,400 --> 01:52:21,370
We're De La Salle.
Some guys wanna call it a curse...

1545
01:52:21,560 --> 01:52:23,961
I say that's the blessing
of De La Salle.

1546
01:52:24,160 --> 01:52:26,322
You gotta go out every week
and prove it.

1547
01:52:26,520 --> 01:52:31,651
So when you show up tomorrow,
whatever it is that excites you...

1548
01:52:31,840 --> 01:52:36,607
whatever it is that's gonna get you
to bring your A-game and your A-heart...

1549
01:52:36,800 --> 01:52:39,041
you bring it and you do it.

1550
01:52:39,240 --> 01:52:43,211
I don't know what that is for you.
What is it that gets your heart swollen.

1551
01:52:43,440 --> 01:52:46,683
Hopefully, it's gonna be
that last chapter in the book...

1552
01:52:46,880 --> 01:52:49,850
that you've written for yourself
this year.

1553
01:52:51,240 --> 01:52:56,087
And I'd like to say, I'd like to just call
that last chapter just what...

1554
01:52:56,280 --> 01:52:58,044
Just what Coach Eidson called it.

1555
01:52:58,240 --> 01:53:04,168
Last chapter of the book
isn't the NCS 3A title or San Leandro.

1556
01:53:04,360 --> 01:53:06,249
It's "Brotherhood."

1557
01:53:06,440 --> 01:53:08,647
That's what it should be titled.
