    • Trivia
      Was filmed April-June 2008 in New Orleans, Louisiana, and was set to be theatrically released in early 2009, but due to the financial troubles of the Weinstein Company, it saw a straight-to-DVD release on February 9, 2010.
    • Goofs
      It is unlikely that John Ehret High School or the cities that it serves (Harvey, Marrero, and Westwego) were flooded during Hurricane Katrina. Ehert is on the West Bank on the Mississippi River (to the south of New Orleans) in Jefferson Parish. Most of the flooding from Katrina occurred in New Orleans proper (Orleans Parish), in St. Bernard Parish to the city's southeast, and in the East Bank sections of Jefferson Parish to the city's west. Most of the West Bank was unaffected by flooding.
    • Quotes

      Al Collins: Most of y'all have played for me before, so you know I don't claim to be some basketball guru. My playbook is downright simple; only five set offensive plays. Five. Now believe it or not, we can go all the way with just those five plays. We're gonna practice those plays 1000 times. We're gonna practice 'em, till they are part of your... your DNA. All you boys need are three things: One, execution. Two, cohesiveness, which is just another fancy word for teamwork. You must learn to act as one unit on both ends of the court. One finger can't pick up a pebble. But one hand... can move the Earth. Three, effort. You must bring it to every practice. You must bring it to every moment, to every second of every game. You leave that out there on that hard wood, and win or lose, you will never have to look in the mirror and wonder "Did I do enough?" We could have ourselves a great year fellas. A great year. But it all starts right here and right now.

    Good, very good...
    Just the theme, overcoming after a catastrophe at the level of Hurricane Katrina is already moving, associated with the passion, love and dedication of a teacher/coach, it makes you want to cry, the dramas faced by the athletes/students, all very exciting and cute, of course, as it could not be otherwise, I love these films, it makes us believe that humanity has a future through kindness and fraternity...
