Wanna shoot?
Sure.
There's a point
in a person's life
when everything falls
into place like magic.
This story is about
a special moment
I will never, ever forget.
[ Alarm ringing ]
Come on, mike,
before mama wakes up!
Hey, move it!
We're running out of time.
Madre de dios,
what's going on out there?
Come on.
Aw, man.
Hey, you knuckleheads,
don't get your feet wet!
Come on!
Quit doggin' it.
Another great day
in paradise.
Uh-oh! Watch out.
[ laughs ]
Bombs away!
Back up, miguelito.
One of these days, chica.
Just like that, chica,
I'm gonna down you
just like I down the basketball.
You guys want to fight
or shoot?
Hey, man.
Horse? Around the wall? What?
Horse.
Horse, for allowance money.
For clean up.
Oh!
Such a wuss!
Hey, you want my allowance?
I want to watch you do dishes.
That'll be the day.
Sure.
You miss,
your money's mine, twerp.
Yeah, when pigs fly, freddie.
Ho ho!
Wow, pretty good for a girl.
All right, you two,
more shooting, less talking.
Okay?
First one to "horse"
coughs up half of his
or her allowance,
or takes annie's turn
doing dishes for a week.
Everybody makes a shot
before the next man...
Person.
Okay, annie, you shoot.
She's gonna miss.
Shooter's touch!
Nice shot, annie.
Never misses, huh?
Hey, match it, big guy.
Nice shot.
You got an "h," frederico.
Come on, make it now.
She shouldn't sneak out
of the house at half before six.
She don't want to sleep,
she can do schoolwork.
Why can't I get you two
not to play with her?
She loves to play, mama,
and she's good.
Oh ho ho, she's good!
Do you have any friends
who will want to marry
a girl who plays better
than they do?
That stuff doesn't matter
anymore, ma.
Yeah, right.
You think so? It matters.
When she's ready it will matter.
Of course it matters.
What matters?
What matters is no guy's
gonna be interested
in a girl who plays basketball.
And you agree with her?
Thanks a lot.
What do you want?
No one's gonna marry
a tomboy like you.
That loser boyfriend you got
sure ain't gonna.
You're the loser, freddie.
Don't raise a hand
to your sister.
Eat your breakfast
while it's hot.
I gotta get out of here.
Yeah, me too.
Take it easy.
Mama.
Good-bye, michael.
I told you I don't want you
going out to play before school.
Why, mama?
I love to play, and I'm better
than either of them.
[ laughs ]
I am.
That's okay,
but you're a girl,
and you should be proud of it.
I want to be proud of you, too.
Look at your hair.
You look like a wild animal.
Mama... you'll be proud
of me, you'll see.
My hair doesn't look so bad.
[ Chatter ]
[ laughter ]
Brooke: OH, I'M SO EXCITED!
Robin: WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO?
I'm going to...
Excuse me... to aspen!
Where's that, again?
Colorado.
We'll meet you there.
Yeah, let's go!
I don't think so, you guys.
It's really expensive.
Oh, well, we'll save.
Oh, I need something
from my locker.
Excuse me, what am I,
your slave?
She's gonna make us
late for class.
Gonna be late! Gonna be late!
[ Chatter ]
Your teeth look fine.
My hair?
Hair's perfect, darling.
Thank you.
You look beautiful.
Look at your locker.
It's crammed!
Oh, my gosh, you're not
gonna wear that in study hall?
I have to have it on
all the time.
Are you jealous, brooke?
Oh, I'm sure!
Come on, the guy
doesn't even start.
Oh, please.
Hurry up!
[ Period bell rings ]
Hey! Hey, barry.
Hey, nice jacket.
Thanks.
Looks good on you.
I was looking for you
this morning.
Are you gonna meet me
at the mall later?
Uh, maybe.
Well, whatever.
Perhaps.
Hey, you're brooke, right?
Right.
How you doing? I'm barry.
Good, thanks.
Right on.
I gotta go.
See you, annie.
Bye, barry.
See you later.
Shooter.
Hey!
Hey, man.
Hey.
What is it with you?
Well, who was that?
Are you looking for
another basketball victim?
Maybe. Come on, barry,
he's friends with my brothers.
Besides, if I can't
play myself...
Yeah, girls
playing basketball.
That'll be the day, annie.
Oh, you think so?
What, are you kidding me?
Now, come on. Let's go.
[ Period bell rings ]
No, I'm gonna go to class.
Yeah, whatever, annie!
He chickened out today,
and I don't blame him.
Are you gonna take
a shot or what?
Sure.
Miguel!
Hey, coach, how's it going?
What are you doing here?
I thought we gave you
a diploma already.
Oh, I never had it so good.
You know my sister, annie?
How you doing, annie?
Hi.
I got a few minutes
before class.
All right!
Hey, you want to take a shot?
Sure.
So, why aren't you
in college, mike?
Can't afford it.
I just got a car,
and I'm gonna work this year
and go to state next fall.
What about playing?
Well, I want to play,
but I can't.
I'm gonna have to make it
as a walk-on.
Does this kid ever miss
or what?
Never.
The damn rim's
no good, man.
Let's take their court.
Hey, you guys,
want to make some room
for some real players, huh?
Hey, you want the court,
you wait till we're done.
I think you're
done now, buddy.
Maybe you should think
again, pal.
Maybe you ought to step off.
LOOK, I'll TELL YOU WHAT.
You want the court?
Play us for it.
What, the three of us
against the two of you?
Annie, come on!
You guys are crazy.
You're gonna get crushed.
No, the three of us,
against the three of you.
[ laughs ] COME ON, MAN,
she's a girl.
So? So we win,
we keep the court.
You're on, man.
Court rules, first one
to 11 wins.
Winner's out.
You gotta win by two.
You guys just wanna leave
now, let us play?
Maybe you should leave,
buddy, before I wipe
the court with your face.
I told you to step off.
We can't beat a couple
of school kids and a girl?
Please, school's in session.
They don't know what they're
up against, man.
We'll even give you
first ball, hu9h?
Okay, annie, inbound.
I'll TAKE THE LITTLE GIRL.
I got this guy.
Let's do this, fellas.
[ Chatter ]
Take him out!
Pick it up!
Go, freddie!
[ Chatter ]
Pick her up! Pick her up!
Can't let her have another...
Here we go, here we go!
Come on, come on.
Come on, annie!
Go, girl!
Aw, man!
You can make these guys!
Hit that board.
Shoot that!
Damn!
Nine-five! Yo, you better
get this little girl
some oxygen.
Not quite ready for primetime,
now, is she?
Hey, you want the bet?
Baby, you best keep breathing
before your mouth gets a check
that these boys can't cash.
Yeah, how about you guys
score another point,
you can keep our ball.
If not, we keep yours.
Let's do it, then, huh?
Let's play, baby!
Got it, got it!
Oh, yeah!
Let's go!
Nine-seven!
You're up.
Inside, inside.
Freddie!
[ Cheering ]
That's awesome.
Not too late.
Let's go, come on. Come on.
[ laughs ]
[ Chatter ]
Sorry, gentlemen,
she just gets that way.
Yeah, right!
Right on, yeah!
That's rad.
Thanks, man.
No joke, bro.
If I didn't see it,
I wouldn't believe it.
That girl can shoot! Damn.
Let's get out, man.
Come on.
Hello, mama. Hello, papa.
Hello, mike. Hello, freddie.
No more dusting.
Hello, mr. Basketball.
It's my ball.
Why dust when you can hoop it?
You think a girl can't play
basketball better?
You try and take it.
Nope, not that time.
Maybe you could try again.
Check it out, mama.
Maybe only a girl can do this.
I'm home! Annie!
What are you doing?
Oh, mama, I'm so sorry.
Just leave it!
I don't know.
What can I do
to make you hear me?
You're a young woman,
and you have responsibilities.
When are you going
to stop playing games?
Okay, I know you're a good girl,
and I've let you have
your way too much.
I want you to stop
this basketball.
Do you understand me?
Hello.
Hi, princess.
Hi.
How are you?
Good.
Is dinner ready?
You shoot it flat like that
when somebody's on you,
you're gonna eat a lot
of basketball, kid.
Hi, coach.
Hello.
I don't usually
shoot like that.
I know. I've watched you.
You're good. Thanks.
You ever played
in a team before?
How could I?
I'm a girl.
I know you're a girl.
I want you to try out
for the varsity team.
What do you think?
You're kidding, right?
No, dead serious.
Wow, coach, I don't know.
I only play with my brothers.
How could I play
on a boys' varsity team.
Well, the fact is
we don't have a girls' team,
so I'd like you to try out
with the boys.
It's been done before.
Problem is, you've gotta be
good enough.
Well, you know
I'm good enough.
We'll see.
Practice is at 4:00.
You be there.
Oh, god, what is mama
gonna think now?
[ Chatter ]
What's this?
Got me.
Did she tell you
she was trying out?
What trying out?
It's a boys' team.
There's no trying out.
Hey! Hey!
What do you think you're doing?
I don't think.
I'm playing ball.
This is varsity tryouts.
This isn't intermurals.
Give me a break!
Walk, girl!
Nice shot!
As in b-o-y-s!
Mr. Rojas...
Coach.
You coaching my team
this year or what, freddie?
No, coach, I was just, uh,
showing my sis annie
where she is.
Really? Annie, do you know
where you are?
Sure do.
Ah. There you go, freddie.
It seems that annie does know
where she is.
Now, are there any other
questions before I begin
my practice?
Ah, mr. Frazier.
What profound thoughts
are in your mind today?
I just don't know what
she's doing here, coach.
This is a boys' team, isn't it?
Well, let me tell you
something, dougie.
She's here to try out
because I asked her to.
I asked her to because I felt
she was good enough to make it.
And by the way, this is not
a boys' team.
This is the washington high
varsity, period.
It occurs to me, doug,
that maybe you're just
frightened of losing
your position on the team.
Nobody's taking my job,
COACH, I'll TELL YOU THAT.
Good. Then perhaps you don't
mind if I choose the other
players you'll be playing with.
Good. There's one coach
on this team, gentlemen, me.
You want to play in my team,
you play with
the people I choose.
Now, does everybody
understand that?
Scattered: YES, SIR.
Bill, you understand
what I'm saying?
Sure do, coach.
Good.
[ Blows whistle ]
All right, down on the end line.
I want five monsters right away.
Last man or woman is gonna
be running all day.
Come on, talk it up.
You're a team.
I want you to sound like a team.
Let's go!
Papa!
How's it going, buddy?
We were just talking
about you.
Eh? Working man.
Come on, have some food.
Did you wash your hands? Go!
We want to hear about your day.
Why do you have to work
so many nights?
I like to have my whole family
home for dinner.
Well, you're probably
not going to see me at all
next year, mama, so you'd better
like having me when you can.
Mwah.
What do you mean?
You can come home on weekends.
No way. I'm gonna be busy
next year, mama.
If I make posole for you,
you're not going to come home?
[ Chuckles ] SORRY, MAMA.
He's going to find himself
a little sorority girl
to make him posole.
That'll be something.
Schoolgirl posole.
Maybe she'll do
his laundry, too.
He won't need you
for anything, mama.
[ laughing ]
You think that's funny?
Ha ha ha.
That's all your mama's good for,
cook for you
and do your laundry.
Mama, don't worry.
How was, uh, the first day
of practice?
Yeah, how was it?
Cody ride your butt?
It was okay.
What's the matter?
Somebody give you some trouble?
Mike was the star last year.
This is your year.
Do the best you can.
I can play as good as mike
or anybody else on that team.
I know you can.
You want to know about
practice? Ask her.
Annie? Why, annie?
Go ahead, tell her.
Don't hide behind me.
You're the little hotshot.
Look, I'm the first guy
in the history of basketball
ever's gone ragged on
by the coach 'cause his sister
came on for the team.
Freddie, excuse yourself
from the table.
Excuse me.
Gracias.
Get out! You tried out
for the team?
That's awesome.
Coach cody asked me to play.
How did he know
you could play?
'Cause he saw me playing
with mike and freddie.
Look, mama, this is
my big chance, and I'm
going to take advantage of it.
You've gotta understand.
Is everyone finished?
Mama...
Can I get you something?
Mama!
What's the matter?
She wants to play basketball,
she can play.
You see? You don't have
to ask me.
Your papa says it's all right,
it's all right!
[ Father groans ]
Mama.
I'm just your mother.
I don't know anything.
Go help her out.
No, go do your homework.
I'm sure you didn't have time
to do it after school.
But I want to help you.
Go on.
Well...
[ period bell rings ]
Brooke: HONESTLY, FLYING
commercial is so boring,
so my dad's thinking about
getting a private jet.
It's about time!
See you later.
Bye.
Hi, annie.
What are you guys doing?
Let go of my arm.
What are you doing?
Leave me alone.
Check it out!
It's pat, the androgynous jock!
How you doing, pat?
I mean... annie?
Are you wearing a jockstrap
when you play or what?
Ooh, I think we're making
the little fella mad!
[ laughs ]
Brooke. Hey, brooke, wait up.
Since when don't
we walk together?
I just want to get to class
early, that's all.
Why?
Because I think
it's a good idea.
I'll CALL YOU LATER.
Bye, brooke.
[ Scoffs ] OKAY, I DIDN'T
want to say this,
but I guess I'm gonna have to.
If you want to keep acting
like a boy, annie, you're gonna
lose a lot of friends,
me included. See ya.
Hey, I'm sorry.
I heard everything.
She's just stuck-up.
When you make it on that team,
'cause you're gonna, right?
And she sees how hot you are,
she's gonna be all over you.
"Hi, annie."
You don't need people like that.
Forget about her.
Yeah?
[ laughs ]
Thanks, robin.
Thanks for being there.
Hey, if she talks to you
like that again, I'm gonna
punch her out!
Good. Yeah!
[ Chatter ]
Hey, coach! Coach!
What's with the...
You can't have a girl
on the guys' team, I mean...
Come on.
...a disgrace.
Guys, what are
you doing here?
Cody, my son says
there's a girl on the team.
You can start by telling us
what she's doing here.
She's trying out for the team
just like everyone else.
I'll BE DAMNED IF YOU MAKE
a laughingstock out of my son.
You must be out
of your mind, cody.
Guys, why are we making
a big deal over this?
Is this some kind
of circus stunt?
My son has a real shot
at a scholarship.
Do you know what
that means to my family?
To our family.
Dad! Winston!
Now, if you put a girl
on a boys' team,
no one gonna take it serious.
I understand how you feel,
gentlemen, but it's
a little more complicated
than you may think.
It's not complicated.
You put boys on a boys' team!
That's it! Exactly.
It's not that simple.
There is no girls' team.
Technically, I have to let her
try out for the boys' team.
It's the law.
I'm going to talk
to the principle.
If she doesn't do something
about this, my kid
is out of here!
Frazier, frazier!
Mr. Frazier, come on.
All of you, we got a good bunch
of kids this year.
They're gonna be fine,
and they're raring to play,
so why don't we let them.
Come on, out you go.
Let us do our work.
Come on, let's get
out of here.
Coach, you know, if it were
up to me, I wouldn't even
be letting 'em vote, so...
Hey, cody?
You fix it.
Give me the ball, doug.
Well, seems I've lost
one of your teammates.
Bill?
Break them up and continue
the three-man weave, all right?
I'll BE RIGHT BACK.
Let's go, guys!
Let's go!
[ Whistle blows ]
Come on, man!
I gotcha.
Hey, guys! Did you just see
a girl run out of here?
I just saw a girl
run that way.
Thanks.
Come on!
[ Ferry horn blows ]
[ Period bell rings ]
Jerks.
If I played like your sons,
I'd shoot myself.
You think it's so important,
you can just have your stupid...
Team?
I didn't know you were there.
It's kind of crummy,
what happened back there, huh?
Yeah.
There's still an hour left
in practice.
Think I'd rather stay here.
Okay.
Mike used to take me
on these swings
when I was little.
Oh, yeah?
And he pushed me so high
I'd scream.
I'd hold onto these chains
as tight as I could.
Well, when I was a little kid
I used to get as high
as I could in the air,
and then I'd leap off
and pretend I was flying.
[ laughs ] WAS IT GREAT?
Oh, it was great
until I hit the ground.
Coach, nobody
wants me to play.
Even my own family
doesn't want me to.
Annie, you've got
a tremendous talent,
and not everyone's gonna
understand that.
Some are gonna love you,
some won't care,
and a few of them are gonna be
really unhappy.
But all that matters
is whether or not
you want to play basketball,
and if you do,
you gotta go for it.
What if they don't
let me play?
Well, you leave that to me.
Just so happens I'm the coach.
[ Chuckles ] OKAY.
So, when do we jump?
Right... now.
[ laughs ]
Whoa!
Oh...
I think I'm getting
a little old for this.
No pain, no gain, coach.
Oh, yeah?
Let's go.
Hey!
Hi!
Okay, am I wrong,
or is cody posting
the roster today.
No? I mean, yeah.
I think so.
Don't you care, or are you
trying to drive me insane?
Yeah, I'm trying to drive
you insane.
Let's go find out, you brat.
Yeah, look at that!
Everyone we thought.
Everyone we thought!
Ah, you made it! Yes!
That's awesome.
You made it on the team!
Yeah, rad!
Congratulations, freddie.
[ Scoffs ] YEAH, RIGHT.
Why don't you relax
a little bit, huh?
Try to be a little cool?
Oh, freddie, stick it.
Hey, hey, looks like
you made the team.
See you at practice?
Okay, see you later.
See you, man.
Big jim made it.
Yeah, so did she.
Whoo!
Oh, relax.
Yes!
Good morning.
Hey, coach.
Little extra practice
never hurt anyone, huh?
Right.
Yo!
Morning, jimbo!
I heard about
your weekend, man!
[ Blows ]
Nice one!
And go and go and go...
[ whistle blows ]
All right, move it in.
See all these plays here
that we've been working on?
You guys ready to train,
get in shape?
Kids: HEY, GO, ANNIE!
Oh, hey!
That's right, speed,
all right? Let's do it again.
COME ON. [ blows ]
Whoo-hoo!
Let's go!
Annie, I'm open! I'm open!
Right inside!
[ Blows ]
Real good shooting, annie,
but maybe next time
you'll try the right net.
Let's go.
[ Whistle blows ]
Oh, man!
I could've died laughing
when she took that shot.
I mean, I had her.
She was going nowhere.
Oh, man, that girl is something.
Yeah, right.
What's up?
Maybe you guys haven't
noticed, but she's
still a girl.
Hey, no way, man.
Is she really?
What a relief, 'cause, you know,
I thought I was falling
in love with her brother.
You're a funny guy.
Thank you.
We're gonna get laughed at.
What?
We're gonna get shown up
by a girl.
Do you think shooting
and fooling around in scrimmage
is the same as a game?
I wouldn't call what she
was doing out there
fooling around.
Yeah? You want to win state,
don't ya?
Yeah.
You think we're gonna win
with a girl?
I don't think so.
Listen, dougie, what,
are you scared that you're
gonna be shown up by a girl?
Hey, maybe she's better
than you, billy boy.
Hoo!
Well, if she is, we're gonna
have a heck of a team.
Man, if she's better
than bill, I wouldn't want
to play us, and neither
are they, okay, baby?
So cool out.
Hey, robin, there's no way.
I'm staying on my diet.
Come on, forget
about the diet.
Chocolate! Let's eat!
Ha. Yeah?
Oh, I feel like
a strawberry shortcake.
Yeah?
Oh, my god.
What?
Barry and brooke.
I'm gonna say something, annie.
No, I'm going to.
No.
Oh, look, there's
the basketball star.
Hey, uh, what's up?
You tell us.
I'm gonna go get a drink.
Yeah, right.
Just hurry up, barry.
Listen, we were just checking
OUT SOME CDs.
You're such a liar!
I thought you were
going out with annie.
Yeah? Going out where?
To basketball practice?
Well, you sure didn't mind
when she was waiting for you
after football practice.
That's a little different.
I'm a guy.
How is that different, barry?
You know, you're making me
look like a fool in front
of the whole school.
That rhymed!
You're so creative.
Robin.
Okay, I'm out of here.
You are a loser. What a jerk!
Yeah, see ya.
You could've
called me, barry.
Hey, I don't see you
calling me every time you want
to go and turn something
upside down.
What? You want me to ask you
if I can play basketball?
Yeah! Maybe I like to be
the one who wears the jock.
Thanks for your support,
barry.
Guess I won't be needing
this anymore.

will see how much better
I am than you.

and we'll do as we please.
We are the fighting demons,
and we'll put you on your knees.
We are the fighting demons,
and we'll do as we please.
[ Cheering ]
Will the teams please
take the floor?
One, two, three, greyhounds!
Let's go!
[ Whooshing ]
Number ten, freddie rojas.
Number 15, robert smith.
Wild bill harper!
Pick him up!
Michael, time out!
[ Whistle blows ]
Let's go.
Time out blue team.
It's demons 22,
washington 20.
Listen, there's no way
we should be losing this game.
There's now way we're gonna
lose this game.
We're doing good, okay?
We're up by ten.
Listen, on offense.
Now, on defense, listen up now.
Freddie, cut through.
Look for him first, okay?
[ Air horn blasts ]
Press those guys,
all right, on d.?
You guys get back and...
Let's go!
Get in here.
One, two, three, greyhounds!
Come on, let's go!
Wild bill harper again,
and steams on 14,
billy williams.
[ Indistinct ]
Jones for two.
Hey, annie, I want you
to go in for doug.
Gotta shut that guy down.
And tell bill and big jim
I want to see them use
the backdoor.
Okay, coach.
[ Whistle blows ]
Where do you think
you're going, sugar?
Just blow the horn.
Come on in.
...making her season debut,
number 40, annie
"sure shot" rojas!
Good job.
Just don't screw up, girl.
Forget about it.
Just play ball.
Coach says go backdoor.
Okay, pick up d'angelo in d.
[ Cheering ]
[ Whistle blows ]
Oh, come on!
Number five, d'angelo, stes
picks up for two.
Great ballplayer
you go there, cody.
Any other girls you want
to put in?
Well, any girl's better
than dougie, mr. Frazier.
Okay, robin. All right,
let's go, for crying out loud.
All right!
Hey, beautiful.
You're cute. What are you doing
after the game, huh?
Get lost.
Tough d.!
Yeah!
Back, back, back!
Come on!
Hustle!
Oh! Sure shot for two.
Nice try. It'd be nice if you
could keep up with me.
Yeah, okay, cutie.
I gave that one to you.
Yeah, right!
Okay! Okay!
It's not so bad.
Not so bad.
We're starting to look
like a team.
We all know how important
that is, don't we?
Yes, sir.
Big jim, you gotta hit
the boards, man!
How many rebounds you got
tonight, four?
Against these wimps?
I wanna see you jump!
How high, coach?
That's it, that's better.
All right, bill, winston,
there's no law that says
you can't help him out.
We're getting killed
on the boards.
I want that to change.
Freddie, you're great
on defense, but on offense
before you go up to the jumpers,
watch for the open man, huh?
Good hustle. Good hustle.
Listen, annie, you got
d'angelo in your back pocket.
You're faster than him.
Now, keep your eyes
on his bellybutton.
He ain't going anywhere
without that, okay?
Now, we're down by five.
I want to make that up
in the first two minutes.
Don't tell me we can't,
because I'm gonna
show you how we can.
Now, freddie's been working
the press all night.
He's been forcing
some turnovers.
Now, annie, winston, I want
you to help him out.
When they bring the ball
up to center court,
I want you to force them
to one side, and then
converge on the ball
fast and loud.
I want to scare this guy
out of his shorts.
All right, now, he'll cough
the ball, I guarantee it.
Big jim, that's when you're
here to grab it, all right?
Then we run the fast break.
Everybody got it?
Yes, sir.
Got it, coach.
One more thing.
There's only one difference
between winners and losers,
and that's desire.
Don't you dare lost this game
because you didn't have
enough of it.
Okay?
All right, let's go, guys.
Come on!
Annie rojas!
Downtown winston brown!
[ Indistinct ]
That's tom taylor with...
It's hounds 46, demons 45.
[ Audience chanting ]
It's annie,
once again, rojas.
Get dougie over here,
will ya?
Sure, coach. Thanks.
And another
for wild bill harper.
It's up to you, dougie.
You can either look at this
as a challenge,
or you can get beat by it.
You can go on thinking
you're too good to play
with a girl, or you can be
a big part of this team.
You think it over.
Let me know what you decide.
Annie o. For two more.
Ground the layout really good.
The demons are on surge.
Come on!
Good hustle in there, freddie.
I'm up for it, coach.
Good. I'm glad to hear that.
I knew we had three
good guards on this team.
Foul on number five white.
Harper's on the line
shooting one and one.
[ Whistle blows ]
Guys, come on in!
Doug, come on in!
All right, let's go!
Hustle, guys.
Sure shot rojas for two.
That gives the greyhounds
the lead.
At the buzzer, and shoots!
Misses! Greyhounds win,
73 to 71!
Coach: WAY TO GO!
Way to go, you guys!
[ Chatter ]
All right, guys!
Hey! Hey!
Settle down and relax.
Hit the seats, huh?
Annie: WINNING OUR FIRST GAME
was amazing, and I was
part of the team.
This is burt cameron,
live from washington
high school.
A sports fan went to see
washington high school's
annie "little sure shot" rojas
for himself the other night.
He came away thinking
she is the best shooter
the pacific northwest
has ever seen, well,
since annie oakley.
She can shoot the eyes
out of the basket,
throw passes you can't see
with a telescope,
and dribble rings around
any player in the state.
Coach will cody's team
is good, no question
about it.
Doing good, buddy.
Hey, coach! Coach, wait up.
I gotta talk to you.
Nice win. Congratulations.
How you doing, burt?
Not bad. You know,
it's great news when there's
a story like this team around.
You want to do me
a favor, burt? Get lost.
Leave my kids alone.
Look, will, I understand
how you feel for the kids,
but, listen, you've got
a great thing in that
little girl there.
People are gonna want
to know about her.
Nothin' doin', burt.
You want to do a story,
you do it about each
and every one of them.
[ Knocking ]
Annie: COME IN.
Five minutes, annie.
OKAY, I'll BE RIGHT THERE.
By the way, great game.
Good hustling.
[ Chatter ]
Monkey face, get on the bus!
Let's go! Come on, hustle.
Annie! Annie!
I'm burt cameron.
I'm with the star.
Can I ask you a couple
of questions.
Sure, what would
you like to know?
Annie! On the bus right now.
Okay, um, I've gotta go.
I'll TALK TO YOU LATER.
Hey...
Okay, sorry.
You keep your eyes peeled,
annie, for that article
I'm gonna write about you.
Okay, bye!
ME TOO. Robin: MEH.
So sick of her.
Yeah, well, her
and her little ski outfit.
I can just imagine her...
Bump, bump!
Hope she chokes on one
of those royal pastries
she was talking about.
Me too.
Hi.
Look, there's wild bill.
Don't look!
He's coming.
There are more important things
in life than boys.
Yeah, well, name one.
State championship!
Well, for you, maybe.
[ laughs ]
Mind if I join you two?
Sure thing, wild thing.
Well, unfortunately, I have
to go and study, so I'm gonna
see you after class, right?
Right. Okay.
Adios, barca de sueño.
Hey! Hey!
Bye!
Later.
What'd she say?
Uh, she tried to say
something, but it didn't
quite work out.
Come on, she said something.
Let's just say she thinks
you're kind of cute.
Well.
So, what are you doing
here this late?
This isn't your lunch hour.
Um, some guys came over
from ucla to meet my dad.
Really? That's great.
Do they want to give you
a scholarship or something?
I don't know, maybe. Yeah.
You know, I wish I was
better at spanish.
It's easy. You just have
to have the right teacher.
Ah!
Just thrown in the names
of things and put them together?
How about "basketball"?
Basquetbol.
Oh, that's easy. All right.
Um, "beautiful"?
Bonita.
"Very beautiful"?
Muy bonita.
"Eyes"?
Huh?
Eyes.
Ojos.
So, how would you say
"you have beautiful eyes"?
[ laughs ] I'VE GOTTA GO.
No, come on!
Tell me how you'd say it.
You can get a dictionary
and figure it out for yourself.
Let me ask you a question.
All right, shoot.
Why do they call
you wild bill?
Ooh, the $64,000 question...
And we're in public.
Okay, fine.
See you at practice.
See ya.
Oh, we only needed
a cup of milk.
So, did he really say
that to you?
Yeah.
Well, do you have
a crush on him?
What am I saying?
Of course you have
a crush on him.
Who doesn't?
I know, but so?
Come on, robin, he's friends
with my brothers.
Come on, he's totally hot.
Yeah.
No wonder you like
playing basketball.
That's not why!
Think you'd like to play
a little one-on-one with him!
Really!
Hey, little sure shot.
What's up?
That's what's up.
I don't know, she doesn't look
unbeatable to me.
Maybe for the best girls' team.
Hey, get lost,
you little pipsqueak.
Great.
Yeah, that's what it says.
Washington's a one-girl team.
Guess little sure shot
can beat these guys
all by herself tonight, huh?
Oh, what? You don't think
you're hot stuff?
"Gee, mr. Newspaper man,
I just wanna be part
of a team."
Freddie.
Hey, you know what?
Yeah? What could
you do, freddie?
[ Sighs ] THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT.
Now, come on, man.
We got a game to play.
Yeah, no kiddin'.
Tell your girlfriend
this is a team sport, pal.
Thanks.
No problem.
It took some doing,
but I got pop out of the house.
Unfortunately, he came
to the wrong game.
It was a disaster.
Announcer: PLEASE GIVE
a big tacoma welcome
to the washington high
greyhounds!
Good luck, bob.
Kids look good this year.
[ Whooshing ]
Freddie rojas!
Yeah! That's the way!
John "air" porter.
It's billy "in the bag" craig.
What was that?
Number 20, daniel pearl.
And double the hit.
It's pearl again.
Call the foul!
It's russell
"all the muscle" boyd.
[ Whistle blows ]
It's big russell boyd agai.
[ Blows ]
Wait!
All right, freddie, winston.
Jam up.
Let's go!
You might as well
watch it from here.
That's all you were doing
on the court.
...bulldogs 55,
hounds 40.
[ Coach shouts ]
Wild bill harper
fighting back.
And it's bill harper
inside for two.
The score is now bulldogs 78,
hounds 56.
Hey, we don't need
a one-woman team.
Shut up, freddie.
Hey, both of you!
You're a team.
You start acting like one,
all right?
Thank you.
All right, now, just take
a breather.
We finally got a team
that wants to play, huh?
Okay, doug, I want you
to go in for annie.
Now, don't force it.
Just settle down
and run the offense.
We're gonna turn
this thing around, okay?
We go out and play
as a team, right?
Okay, come on, let's go.
Let's go. Come on!
Number 31,
big jim brady!
Passes to brad.
It's gonna be a long night.
[ Horn blows ]
Well, the bulldogs bite,
83 to 56.
Annie: FREDDIE.
Freddie.
Freddie, what's your problem?
What? Myproblem?
You know what I mean.
When are you gonna stop
acting like a jerk?
You embarrassed me
in front of the whole team.
Oh, I embarrassed you!
Right.
That's not what I meant.
Look... did it ever occur
to you that maybe I want
a chance to be in the spotlight
for once?
Freddie, I'm sorry.
Yeah.
Hey, forget it.
[ Chatter ]
So, how does it feel
to lose one, annie oakley.
Don't call me that, man.
It's tough losing
your first game, huh, annie?
Yeah, it wasn't fun.
Why'd the coach pull you?
The bulldogs a little big
for you?
I don't know.
Why don't you ask him.
Hey, nobody's too tough
for little big shot.
Hey, dougie! Hey, hey!
The kids are tired.
Why don't you give them a break?
Looks like you got
a major attitude problem
on this team.
Hey, watch the cashmere, kid!
Get on the bus, please.
Some of the coaches
are saying that they're
going easy on annie
'cause she's a girl?
That right?
That what they're saying?
Looks like your whole team's
falling apart.
You guys are really
something, you know that?
Is that all you got to say?
Really something.
You're the type of guy...
Will, why do you got
a girl on a boys' team?
We'll talk about it later.
Get on the bus, please.
Why do you got a girl
on a boys' team?
None of your business.
Get that out of my face.
I've had enough of you.
You're gonna read about this.
Oh, that scares me.
You got any more questions?
Ask each other.
Come on, on the bus.
Hustle up. Let's go.
You're gonna read
all about it.
Let's go, guys.
[ Knocking ]
Hey, annie.
Hey.
Think I can talk to you
for a minute?
Why, of course.
[ Germanic accent ] COME IN
to my laboratory.
This where you invented
me, coach?
I didn't invent you, annie.
I just found you.
Now, what's on your mind?
I don't know if this
is all working out.
Coach, I don't think the boys
on the team want me to play.
One minute I'm a hero,
and the next minute
I'm a total freak.
What does everyone expect
from me, anyway?
It's tough, isn't it?
The fact is, you're right.
They don't really see you.
All those boys see
is a girl who's challenging
their male ego, so they're
challenging it back.
What should you do?
You meet that challenge, annie,
and you do the best you can.
If you do that,
I promise you, it's all
gonna work out.
But what if it doesn't?
Isn't the whole school
counting on me?
Oh, I wouldn't
put it that way.
I don't think the chemistry club
even knows you're alive.
Now, listen, I'm gonna see you
at practice tonight, right?
Sure thing, coach.
Listen, you work hard,
and you're gonna be great.
Okay.
[ Chatter ]
Well, if it isn't
little miss sure shot.
[ laughs ]
Let's hear it for annie.
She's gonna win us
the championship.
She's so good, I only wish
I could play with her.
Guys, I didn't...
You know, annie, if I
could only just shoot like you.
But you can't.
Oh!
Let's go!
Let's hit the court, huh?
I had no idea what they
were gonna write.
Of course you didn't.
You never know what they're
gonna write.
Well, let's shoot.
Okay.
Bring it in off the floor.
Winston.
Okay. Let's talk
about basketball.
Dougie, you still remember
how to read?
Yes, sir.
Good. What's this say?
It says "team."
That's right. You know why?
Because basketball
is a team sport.
Does anybody here realize that?
'Cause it sure
doesn't look like it.
I want to show you something.
Big jim, on your feet.
Come on. All right.
Close your eyes.
Hands up. Okay, you're
under your own basket.
Opposing team misses a jumper.
You get the rebound.
It's a fast break.
Bang, what do you do?
Okay, now what did you
just do there?
Passed it out to annie.
You didn't have time
to think of that.
It's automatic, coach.
She's always there.
That's right. Sit down.
You're becoming so close
as a team that you don't even
have to think about
where your teammates are.
It's a reaction.
And why are we here
every night practicing?
Well, so we can learn
how to paly like a team, coach.
Yeah, but there's
playing like a team,
and there's being a team.
I think maybe you all need
some time to think
about the difference.
Now, go on.
Hit the showers.
Whoo-hoo!
Announcer: COACH CODY'S TEAM
has improved on last year's
record, and the greyhounds
have nosed their way
right on up to the big one,
thanks to wild bill harper
and little sure shot,
annie rojas.
And now, playing for bragging
rights to the state
of washington, your very own,
the very best of the pacific
northwest, the washington
high greyhounds!
Annie: MOST PEOPLE COULDN'T
believe we made it
through the season
so successfully,
and no one thought we'd make
it to the state finals
except coach cody.
Oh!
Hi, papa!
Tonight's game against
the fall valley bruins
is not only being broadcast
here in washington,
but throughout
the pacific northwest.
...two, three, greyhounds!
That was wild bill harper
for two.
Larry "the ladder" horns
with a dunk.
Bruins for two, cutting
the greyhound lead to just two.
It's burt "the flirt" guthrie
for two.
[ Chatter ]
Play your check!
Don't let him get around you.
I'm like I'm standing
all alone in there.
[ Arguing ]
Guys! Hey!
Enough!
Now, listen.
You've all made it
this far on your own.
You've won every game
but one.
Let me tell you something
I learned a long time ago.
It's you players that win
and we coaches that lose.
So far, you guys have pretty
much kept me off the hook.
I'm proud to be a part of it.
Now, all you have to do
to win this game
is go out and play the way
I know you can, as a team,
with everything you've got.
The question is
do you got enough to win?
Big jim, you got enough to win?
I got it all.
Bill, you got enough to win?
To the state!
Winston, you got
enough to win?
State champ, baby,
here we go!
Freddie! Yes, sir!
Annie? Yes!
Have we got enough to win?
Yeah!
We got it!
Go make me look good.
Come on. Come on.
One, two, three!
Greyhounds!
Come on, let's go.
Ladies and gentlemen,
please take your seats.
The second half will begin
momentarily.
It's annie
"sure shot" rojas.
No!
Number ten white fouls
on the shot.
Fall valley's still up by four.
We got spirit, yes we do!
We got spirit, how 'bout you?
We got spirit, yes we do!
We got spirit, how 'bout you?
Come on!
Burt guthrie got two there.
Wild bill harper!
Larry lawrence with the dunk.
[ Whistle blows ]
Forty-four white!
Johnny "on the spot" bryant
sinks his free throw.
Yeah!
And another
for big jim brady!
Yeah! My man!
And the extra point is goo.
Simms for two.
Time out! Time!
Washington takes
a final time out
as they trail the bruins
63 to 57.
Here to play! V
good, good!
Now, we're six points down.
We got six minutes left to play.
That's a point per minute.
Now, we could make that up
in our sleep.
Josh, give me that.
All right.
Now, they beat our press,
so let's give them
a little surprise.
Sure shot rojas for two.
Like your shot.
Yeah, give it to me again!
Come on, honey,
I'm giving it to you.
Be a hero! Make my day!
Well, this girl cannot mis.
Annie rojas for two more.
Three, 43, five.
Uhh!
Frazier, number 44,
called out for charging.
How could that hoop count?
White 44.
Out for the shot.
We're going this way.
I'm sorry, coach,
it was a clean shot.
Don't worry about it, doug.
Good game. Good game.
Winston, let's go.
All right! Whoo!
One shot. That's all we got.
All right, freddie,
you inbound the ball to annie.
Oh, one more thing, bill.
If you can't get a clean shot
away, pass it off.
I got the shot,
I got the shot.
This is the last chance,
guys... are we ready for it?
Yeah!
Let's go.
One, two, three, greyhounds!
Annie with the ball,
looking for a shot.
Doesn't find one.
Passes it over to harper,
also looking for the shot.
Over to rojas.
At the buzzer...
[ chanting ]
[ Whoosh ]
Freddie rojas!
Ladies and gentlemen,
we have a new state champion,
the washington high greyhounds!
Annie: WE ACCOMPLISHED
the impossible...
We beat the mighty bruins,
and freddie, oh, freddie!
He finally got his moment
in the spotlight!
You're amazing!
I can't believe you
made that shot.
Neither can I!
There's papa.
[ Cheering ]
Coach cody has
an announcement to make,
so why don't I let him
make it?
Go on, coach!
Thank you. I'm gonna keep
this short and sweet.
We've had a tremendous season,
and you people have given us
more support than we
could've asked for.
Now, I have a telegram here.
It came this morning.
This telegram says
that wild bill harper
has just made the high school
all-america team.
Whoo!
Wild bill! Wild bill!
I'm really proud of you,
and I know that everybody
in this room is proud
of you, too. Congratulations.
I want everyone to know
that the main reason
I'm standing up here
is because of our team.
Scattered: YEAH!
You know, coach cody believed
in everybody from the start,
and a lot of other
people didn't.
I want to thank him
for teaching me what it really
means to be a team player,
and, of course, big jim's fix
and annie's unbelievable passes
made it a lot easier, too.
I'm gonna miss this place.
One more thing I want
you guys to know.
I'm going to ucla next year
to play ball,
and it's a dream come true.
Thanks.
Principal: CLASSES
will resume.
Hey!
There she is,
the girl of the hour!
Annie!
Hey, girl, how's it going?
What now?
You go, girl!
Yeah, it's like women's lib
gone basketball or something.
It's cool.
Why are you guys
talking about?
Yeah, what do
you boneheads want?
Check this out. Says you're
better than wild bill.
Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!
You go,
little miss sure shot!
You can keep that, thanks.
You can have it if you want.
No, really.
Of course, you could pick
one up anywhere.
They're all over school.
See you later, superstar!
You think it's funny, do you?
It's not funny.
See you guys.
This is
a bad situation, will.
I've been taking calls
all morning.
Burt cameron more or less said
he thought wild bill
should've refused his award.
That's the stupidest thing
I've ever heard.
Well, stupid or not...
Pamela, they're gonna spoil
a really nice thing
that happened here.
I'll BE THE FIRST TO ADMIT
I thought you were crazy,
but I thought you were
wonderful to try.
That girl is one in a million.
I don't even think
there are that many like her.
There aren't.
We've got a problem,
and we have to solve it.
All I can say is
I am counting on you
to get us out of it.
[ Sirens wailing ]
Annie! Annie! Annie!
[ Gasps ]
Annie! Freddie!
Come down here!
What? What is it, mama?
Look at this!
Look at this craziness
outside my house!
[ Chanting continues ]
What is going on?
[ Sighs ]
How are you
feeling, miss rojas?
[ Shouting ]
Hey!
Mrs. Rojas!
Hey, one last word!
Mrs. Rojas! Please!
[ Knocking ]
Yes?
Principal aragon?
Please, have a seat.
I don't want my daughter
made into a fool.
They're all over my yard.
They are in my trashcans.
They are everywhere!
I am so sorry you're having
to put up with all this.
This is all your fault,
the smart basketball coach.
How are you going to fix
my annie's life, now, eh?
I want my daughter to have
a life like everyone else.
Mrs. Rojas, your daughter's
not like everybody else.
I mean, she's got
an extraordinary gift,
and she's lucky to love
the thing she's good at.
Now, we're all sorry
that your life's been disrupted
like this, but, please,
don't expect me to apologize
for trying to help annie.
I'm sorry.
I believe you care
about my daughter, mr. Cody.
Otherwise I would never
have let her play, no matter
how much she wanted to.
So, I'm leaving it up to you.
Oh ho! The rain man!
Stop it.
Hey, man!
Come on.
I need a pepsi.
You guys want anything?
Yeah, get me some chips.
Rum and cola.
I'm come with you.
Some guacamole, too!
Uh, the chips are over there.
Cupboard?
Yeah.
You got a bowl for them?
Here, grab.
Well, we'll have to give
the dirty ones to freddie.
Okay. This is some kind of...
Teamwork.

I'd better get that.
No, let michael get it.
I'll GET IT.
Hey, coach, what's up?
Hey, mike, how you doing?
Pretty good.
Freddie.
Hey, man.
Hey, coach.
Hey, kids, what's the score?
Um, killing 'em, right?
Yeah.
Coach, could I get you
something to drink?
No, thank, I just wanted
to talk about all this nonsense
that's been going on.
Forget about it, coach.
You know... freddie...
It's just a bunch
of stupid reporters.
Hmm. I wish
it were that easy.
Can we sit down?
So, what's up?
Well, miss aragon and I
are getting quite a bit
of flack over there,
so obviously something
has to be done.
All right, so you got
something in mind?
Yes, I do, but it all depends
on you and annie.
Kind of puts you on the spot.
I want you two to agree
to shootout.
Shootout?
A shootout, what?
What's a shootout?
This is burt cameron
live at washington high school.
Will wild bill harper
prove himself in a one-on-one
against little annie?
In this reporter's opinion,
the odds are on...
I don't know why I have
to go to this stupid shootout.
It's gonna be so boring.
Hey, guys? Listen.
I'm gonna have
to meet you in there.
I'm just gonna stop
and say hi to annie.
Come on, chuck.
Don't psych her out, man.
Yeah, right.
Don't forget to take
your earrings out.
Ladies and gentlemen,
please rise for
the national anthem.
You're gonna be great. Here.
You know, you've got
more guts than any girl I know.
I'm really proud of you.
Well, I wish I was
as sure as you are,
but thanks.

Listen... I understand
you just want to be friends,
but I'd still like

Can we talk about this later?
Will you call me?
Look, I've got a lot
on my mind.
I just wanted to, uh,
wish you luck.
I hope you win.
Good luck.
See ya.

Ladies and gentlemen,
may I have your full
attention, please?
Well, look who's back?
I have a great deal
of pride and pleasure
in presenting to you
this evening washington high's
favorite coach, will cody!
Take it away, coach.
Thank you!
Thank you very much.
Good to be back
in washington high.
You know, I just flew in
from vegas, and, boy,
are my arms tired.
[ Booing ]
You know, some of you
are taking my chemistry exam
tomorrow. You might want
to laugh a little bit.
The profits from tonight's
shootout are going to a very
worthy and long-overdue cause,
the formation of a girl's
varsity basketball team
for next year.
Let's go, annie!
Let's do it!
So, I'd like to bring out
two people who are largely
responsible for this,
sure shot annie rojas
and wild bill harper!
Yeah!
Now, before we start
the shootout,
I want to give a huge,
huge amount of applause
to these boys right here,
'cause they won
the state championship
for your washington high!
The greyhounds!
Number-one state champs. Yeah!
That's your team,
ladies and gentlemen.
They did it for you.
All right. Now...
Pick which one you want to win,
and after that we'll start
the show, okay?
So, a big round of applause!
Sure shot annie
and wild bill!
Give me an "a"!
Give me an "nn"!
Give me an "I"!
Give me an "e"!
Give me an "o"!
What does that spell?
Annie o!
Settle down.
Thank you.
Before we begin,
I should explain
the rules to you.
There's ten shots per round.
First one to win five rounds
wins the shootout.
If we're tied in the last round,
it's sudden death.
We shoot until someone misses,
but the winner must drain
the last basket.
Before we go, we need
the official coin toss
to decide who goes first.
And decide who goes second.
And right now, I'd like
a little drumroll, please!
And... wild bill,
call it in the air.
Heads.
[ Clink ]
Heads it is.
Big bill, you have the choice.
Are you gonna go
first or second?
Uh, second. I wanna see
what she's got.
Bill would like to see
what annie's got.
Annie, that means
you shoot first.
Ladies and gentlemen,
the first-ever washington high
shootout is about to begin.
Let's give them a big round
of applause!
Good luck.
Well, looks like it's just
you and me now,
little sure shot.
Yeah.
What's the matter?
I just didn't know this
was gonna be such a big deal.
But, hey, it's just
you and me, and I'm gonna
kick your butt.
Yeah, we'll see.
Yeah!
Good luck, uh, sis.
I'm here for you, all right?
Go!
Ladies and gentlemen,
we are tied three shots apiece.
Annie, it's your turn.
Well, wild bill, that's
your shot to make.
Can wait to see this one.
Come on, annie,
I know you can do it.
You can do it!
Hey, you'd better show me
something now, little sis,
'cause I can make the junk
you're throwing up there.
Freddie, look!
Mama.
Go help her! Go help her!
Mama!
Oh!
Eyes closed.
You mean ojos?
Okay.
Now it's up to annie.
Let's hear if she's got
a new challenge. Annie?
Any suggestions, wild bill?
All right.
Let's go for a walk.
Over the popcorn...
Clear the gatorade...
Through the audience...
And nothing but net.
Nothing but net.
[ Applause ] OOH!
Fingertips on the ball.
Nothing but fingertips.
From the body with the ball,
extend arms,
nice arc, see rim,
and shoot.
You're the best.
You're my man.
Thanks, buddy.
Take my next shot?
[ laughs ]
I don't think so.
Not today.
So, uh, nothing but net?
Yeah, nothing but net.
Yeah!
All right, now, who's
cheering for wild bill harper?
Okay, all right,
that's pretty clear.
Um, mr. Frazier, do I even
have to ask?
Wild bill!
Yeah, I sort of thought so.
All right, and who over here
is cheering for sure shot
annie rojas?
Annie o! Okay!
All right.
Now that we've established that,
I think we should leave
the rest up to the athletes.
Here they are, your very own
wild bill harper
and sure shot annie rojas.
All right, watch this.
Oh!
Annie, it's all yours, baby.
Knock it home.

said shootout.
I had said yes,
but I didn't know
what he meant.
Boy, did I learn fast.
When I think about last year,
it was the best.
There were a few tears,
but a lot more laughs.
Now there's a girls'
varsity team.
