Coach Clay Driscoll is a small town basketball coach who seems to have everything going against him. A team he doesn't want. A town that doesn't support girl's sports and small town politics that threaten to undermine any chance he has of winning. But his pride and his "girls" refuse to let him quit. Both the young women and their hard-headed coach fight for equality and a share of the dream, taking on the town prejudice and their own self-doubt. Based on the true story of Jim Keith and the Lady Cyclones.
Sixteen-year-old Jefferson Davis Bussey joins the Army to defend the Union against Colonel Watie, leader of the Cherokee Indian rebels, and is assigned to infiltrate the enemy camp where he discovers there is more to war than honor and glory.
During a hard winter the father of a pioneering German family settling the Cherokee strip in Oklahoma freezes to death and his fourteen-year-old son must assume responsibility for the struggling family.
Dismayed when he discovers he is assigned an all-girl basketball team, the new coach becomes increasingly committed to his players as he works with them.
