The movie opens with coach Don Haskins, as portrayed by Gig Harbor’s Josh Lucas, leading a high school girls team to a championship.

He hits the mother lode, landing seven black players who would challenge stereotypes and make history.
Walter Cornett, of Glendale, Kentucky, is the owner and operator of Walter’s Wildcat World. He founded WildcatWorld.com in 1998 making it one of the oldest Kentucky basketball fan sites in operation today.
