Thanks for joining us

as the undefeated abilene eagles

take on the Mansfield tigers

in the first round
of the playoffs.

No one saw that coming.

I hope the eagles fans
enjoyed this season.

With most of the eagles'
powerhouse players graduating

the 2009 season
isn't looking too good.

I'm sorry, y'all.

I shoulda done more.

Nah, man, don't talk like that.

Just got outworked.

Hey yo.

My parents are here. I gotta go.

Goodnight, bro.

Hi, guys.

That was a tough loss.

But you remember
how it feels in your gut

and you use it.

This team will be
yours next season.

Yes, sir.

It's ok that it hurts.

I want it to hurt.

Alright.

Let's shake it off.

When people come together,
incredible things follow.

Proverbs tell us
iron sharpens iron

and one man sharpens another.

Man rises above his own self

when in league with like-minded,
like-spirited people.

Such tremendous power and unity

to achieve a communal end
through love and respect.

It has the potential
to shake the world.

Here in abilene...

We got faith

we got family

and we got football.

The holy Trinity.

A lot of great
practices this week.

Y'all know what to do,
you just gotta do it.

Don't get emotional tonight.

Go home, do your mental reps,
stay hydrated

get a good night's rest.

Alright.

Any questions?

- No, sir.
- Y'all feel good?

Yes, coach.

Alright.
Chad, they're all yours.

Thanks, guys.

Alright, quiet down.

Yo, focus!

I asked you
at the beginning of the year

you know, what does it mean
to be your brother's keeper?

And, uh, I think you guys
have been doing a good job

of keeping that alive.

And I'm proud of you.

Now, we're here
for one reason, we're here

so you guys can talk
about the stuff

that you guys
can't talk about at home.

Now, I know
that outside of football

you guys have, you know

some of you guys
have tough lives.

And that's what
we're here to talk about.

So if anyone wants
to start sharing, go for it.

Who wants to go first?

I think I've said it
before, but...

I just wanna say
how much it means to me

to be a part of this team.

Seriously,
coming here day after day...

Practices, games, everything.

Chad, you've always created
a safe space for us

to come and share, and...

Feel like we're part
of something

bigger than ourselves,
so thank you for that.

Please leave a message.

Listen, is ronnell sims around?

I'm his son.

He around?

No, he ain't.

- Where'd you get that?
- What?

Nah, that's my dad's watch, man.

- No it ain't, I saw it.
- Yeah it is, man!

Come on, where is he, man?

Where's he at, huh?

Where's he at, man?

He's out back.

Pops. Pops!

No, no, no, no, no.

Hey, come on.

Come on, wake up, wake up.
Come on, wake up.

Why you keep doing this, man?

Why you keep doing this?

I'ma get you some help,
I gotchu.

Ok, ok.

Alright. Thank you, son.

You gotta stop this, man.

911, what is your emergency?

You'll see the eagles continue

to try to throw a lot

because ronnell has a great arm
besides his running ability.

It's just a maturation process.

And here's
ronnell sims' first varsity snap

as a quarterback.

He drops back, looks,
throws across the middle.

Little drag pattern.

Catch at the 45.

Ronnell will take the snap.

He's gonna carry himself
up the middle, 25, 30.

Ronnell gets out
to about the 34 yard line.

Here's the snap throw.

Parker mccay!

Looks, throws across the middle.

Herschel with the catch,
25, 20, 10

goes into the endzone

for another
abilene eagles touchdown.

I've heard all this before, dad.

Ye...

Alright, whatever you...
Whatever you say.

No, the pep rally's tomorrow,
the game's on Saturday.

Ok, alright, whatever you say.

I gotta go.
I'm running plays with the guys.

How'd it go?

Man, I don't know...

I don't know
what to think anymore.

I know I love my pops, but...

I don't even wanna
talk about it, man.

Let's go over these plays.

Come on man, what did he say?

What he always says.

He going to the rally?

I don't know.
That's what he said.

Gonna be a mess of people.

Hey, hersch.

You gonna block on Saturday?

You know I don't block, bro.

I'm not tryin' to get sacked
because you over here

just trying to run for 100 yards

- and not block...
- More than 35.

Or more. So, just sayin'.

I mean you're gonna
get your touchdowns.

You could run a hundred yards

but I need you to block, man.

Need 120 every game.

Alright, let's do it.

Hey, real talk, though.

How'd it go?

I don't...

I don't wanna
talk about it, man.

Yo, hey.

- Yo, what... what are you doing?
- Yo.

My mum got you some new jeans.

Yo...

- They nice, right?
- Hey!

Hold up, hold up,
hold up, hold up.

Thank you, man.

- They're nice, right?
- Yeah.

- Thank you.
- Yeah.

Hey, y'all hooking me up.

I'ma go try these on right now.

I'm just gonna move in too!

Nah, man, you wish you got

- what I got, man.
- Don't gimme no socks!

I'll be right back.
I'ma try these on real quick.

Hey!

- Carriola's always shopping, man.
- Bro!

Y'know who else likes shopping?

- Yo.
- Me.

The 49th meeting
between these two schools.

But it's gametime now.

I think abilene high
is gonna come out here

really kind of frothing
at the mouth.

They're gonna be ready to go.

Ronnell wants to pass.

Looks long, throws long,
has a man wide open.

Hits him at the 26.

Ronnell rolls left

turns it upfield to the 30.

And he's down
to about the 26 yard line.

Ronnell tucks it under
outta that wildcat formation.

15 to the 10.

Abilene high's
just got so many weapons

that when you go with him.

Ronnell's got
a lot of room to run.

21 yards for ronnell sims.

Ronnell sims,
six carries, 69 yards

here in the first half.

Cougars do not have an answer

for ronnell sims on the ground.

Sims tucks it under,
wants to run.

Has the first down,
the 25 spins out

and there he goes.

Ronnell sims just spins
off the tackle

and has a touchdown
from 31 yards out.

Boy, ronnell sims had a game
for the ages in this rivalry.

Oh, he really did.

We gotta go toe to toe.
We gotta match up.

You tell 'em!

Tell 'em what?

- Ronnell!
- Hey!

Argh! What's up?

- Hey.
- What's up?

How can you be here
and on the TV?

Cos I'm so fast, man,
I'm so fast.

Oooh!

I got something for you.

Thought you might like these.

Might be a little big on you

but you'll grow into 'em.

- Yeah?
- Sizzle.

Yeah, sizzle, that's right.

What's up, hey!

There he is, there he is!

Ah, who's the champion, right?

How you doin?

Y'all give ronnell
some breathing room, go play.

Let me take the little man.

Mmm, mmm.

Shoulda said
you needed new shoes.

It's cool, ma, it's...

Have a seat, let me look at you.

Hm.

You look a little taller.

Maybe a little bit.

You doing ok over there
at the carriolas?

Yeah.

They're real nice.

How about you?

How's work?

Work.

A lot of work.

What's going on
with practice, football?

It's a lot, but it's going good.

You, um...

Think you'll be able
to make it to the game?

I'ma try.

I mean, I might have
to work, so...

I'ma do my best, though.

You know I will.

I'll be on TV, so...

You could check it out on there
if you can't make it.

Mr hot shot.

We miss you around here.

We really do.

Glad I could come back
from time to time and help out.

Yeah.

I wish you would
just still be here.

Does anyone else wanna share?

Ahem. I wanna thank,
you know, everybody

for being there for me

with the situation
with my mother.

Uh, you know, this...

This stuff gets hard, and, uh...

I couldn't do it without y'all

so, I love y'all, man.

- Love you too, man.
- Right, bro.

So that's your card you playing?

Yes.

There you go.

Come here, come here.

- Oh, see there?
- Mm-hmm.

Come on, come on, I win. Mm-hmm.

- You always cheating.
- I'm not cheating, I'm winning.

- That's bull-
- ah!

You watch your mouth.
I did not teach you

to talk like that.

And you in my house.

Yeah, I'm just saying,
you always cheating.

I'm always winning.

You should get used to it.

Oh, ok, well.

We gotta come up
with something else

for us to do.

Because you cheat all the time.

Hmph. Come here.

Herschel, get the door.

Baby, herschel, get the door!

Herschel!

Get the door!

Herschel. Your mama home?

Yeah, she over here.

Ma'am.

Niecy.

You violated your parole again.

I got a warrant for your arrest.

On your feet, please, let's go.

And what did you do now?

I didn't do it.

Sorry, son.

Good luck at the game.

It's gonna be alright, baby.

Here's the kick.
Herschel sims receives it

at the three.

Starts his return.

From the 20, the 30

he's at midfield!

The 40, the 30, the 20

the 10, the five

into the endzone
for a 97 yard touchdown run!

Straight ahead, there goes sims.

And he's gonna score
a touchdown.

Once he got
through the line, he was gone.

Herschel sims
is so amazing, Chuck.

He waited for the blocking
to set up that time

and then boom! Picked his hole

and the eagles are
on the scoreboard again.

In the shotgun,
pair of receivers to his right

that's the wide side
of the field.

Ronnell takes the snap.

Throwing long, downfield.

Herschel with the catch
at the 40

the 30, the 20, the 10

that is another
abilene eagle touchdown!

Hi, I'm Blake norvell,
it's a pleasure to meet you.

Herschel.

Herschel, I'm very sorry
to hear about your mother.

Thank you.

Here, have a seat.
Make yourself comfortable.

Herschel, I bet you're close
to your mum, aren't you?

Yeah.

I'm close to my mum too.

My jury consultant,
Margaret norvell

happens to be my mother.

Hello, herschel.

Hey.

I've reviewed this file

and I have a lot of confidence
that I can win this case.

And I think that even though
this situation's very tragic

ultimately it's gonna
have a happy ending

for you and your mum.

Ok.

It's gonna be alright, baby.

With ronnell sims, herschel

he's gonna
give the ball to herschel.

Herschel behind right guard.

Over the 20, the 25

he's gonna
break the tackle, keep going

over the 30 to the 32 yard line

and the eagles get
another first down!

And somehow herschel,
with that great strength

pulled out of that tackle

and turned what would have been
a loss of two

into a five yard gain to the 50.

A three-yard run
for herschel sims

and the eagles go seven plays
and 58 yards

for a touchdown,
and they made it look easy.

And ronnell
and herschel in the back field.

Here's the give,
herschel up the middle.

40, 35, 30, 25, 20.

He's dragged down after
he crosses the 15 yard stripe.

What we are seeing, Chuck

I think, is the speed
of this young team.

Darius Joseph,
herschel sims, Jarvis hutter.

Ronnell sims.

Whoa. A lot of speed
on this abilene high team.

Hey, grandma.

Hey, baby.

- What the f...
- He just wants to talk

to you about ronnell.

Hey, grandma,
I know how this goes.

I ain't your middle man.

Hey, be a father
and talk to him yourself.

- You know where he lives.
- Boy.

- You better show some respect.
- You just my deadbeat uncle.

How'd you even get
outta hospital?

I'm clean.

Yeah, you look real clean.

Herschel sims, you stop that.

If I say I'm clean...

I'm clean.

Me and ronnell,
we ain't like you.

And do you know how hard
that is to do around here?

Have him call me.

Please.

Let him try, baby.

He had his chance.

So, you saw him?

Yeah, man.

Was he pretty bad?

He's all banged up.

How's your ma?

Grandma's forcing me to see her.

That's a buzzkill.

Yo. Yo, boo, you good?

I, uh. I...

I've been through
some bad things this year.

My grandfather,
uh, passing, uh...

That was hard.

My grandfather was a good man.

A good example
of the kind of man

I wanna try and be.

And he worked hard
every single day

to give my mum
a better life than his.

But every day, it gets harder...

And harder...

On all of us!

My mum works 14 hours a day

for me and zay
to have a better life than hers.

But it's never enough.

I'm telling you, bro

this is where
the money's at, ok?

First come the money,
then comes the power.

Then comes the power,
then comes the bitches.

Zay, you're gonna get caught
one of these days, man.

Bro, you...

Hey, ma?

We need to watch
the news tonight.

You suck as a watchdog, bro.

That's not my job.

You coulda helped, you're doing
that stupid homework.

You think you're scarface.

And here it is.

It's gonna be end over end.

It will be fielded
at the 22 yard line

as a return over the 30
to the 34 yard line.

Gets down
to the 35, running hard.

Boo barrientes
in on that last stop.

But let's give credit
for that sack to boo barrientes.

As they were blitzing
on the linebacker

they knew burleson had
to pass on third and nine.

And Warren is dropped
for a loss.

And it'll be picked up
by an abilene eagle!

At the 50, the 40

the 30, the 20, the 10

picking it up and taking
it in is boo barrientes.

And that's another
abilene eagle touchdown.

We heard something about you.

And what's that?

That you're getting jumped in.

Who'd you hear it from?

Doesn't matter, man.

Is it true?

No.

Look, you know
you can talk to us, right?

You know we here for you.

Yeah, I know.

So can I go now?

We good?

Yeah, we good.

Yeah.

What you gonna do, man?

I think that's on Chad.

And I try and look ahead...

And I...

Sometimes I feel hopeless.

What up, baby bro?

Hey.

What you got there?

Some brisket.

Yeah?

- For me?
- No.

- It's for me.
- Did me dirty, bro.

Did me dirty.

Yo, so, um...

I've been catching on my game
with Richie and Carlos lately...

You know?

And, uh,
I was talking to them about you.

You know, getting you jumped in.

Now look,
you're older than I was

when I got in with them.

This rumour's spreading, ok?

You're gonna get me
into hot water with the coach.

Hey, what do you think
is gonna happen

at the end of this season?

Huh?

This town is gonna
forget about you

like every other football player
that came before you.

And you're gonna get a job

that gives you seven dollars
an hour.

You're not gonna
be able to pay rent.

You're struggling
to get by week to week.

So then you get
a second job like mum.

Working 14 hours a day

to make what a banker makes
in one hour.

Is that fair?

Look...

When you come work for this...

You make ten times
what that banker makes.

Just a few hours a day.

You don't take
no shit from nobody.

Doesn't that make sense?

Like...

There's more I can do
to help my mum.

But I know where it leads

and I don't like... I don't like
where it leads, man.

You don't want this!

That's right, homeboy.

I don't wanna go there.

Come on, dawg,
you don't want this, huh?

Hit him! That's right, homeboy.

Get him!

Did I say stop?

Yeah, fool, did he say stop?

That's enough.

Welcome to the family, homes.

You're one of us.

Hey, big man boo.

Richie.

- What's up, boo boo?
- Mum wants you home.

Oh, ok.

No.

Your mum wants you, zay.

Let's go, zay. Come on.

Nah, bro. I'ma stay.

Grandpa would be
real proud of you.

- What'd you say?
- You heard me.

I said grandpa would be
real proud of you, man.

Grandpa ain't here no more.

Hey, hey.

Here's for your grandpa,
homie, right there.

Yeah, grandpa would be
real proud of you.

Boo, the big football star.

You're my bitch, homes!

You best check yourself, boo.

You know what, Richie?

What?

You and your little thugs

you ain't nothing
but lowlifes, man.

- What you say?
- You heard me.

- Richie.
- Come on, zay.

Let's go home.

Best check yourself, boo.

- Let him go.
- Zay, zay.

Let him go.

Let him go!

What's up?

What you guys doing
to the little homie?

Oh, it's about to go down, now.

Richie, blast this fool.

This ain't your business.

When you picking
on little kids, homie

I make it my business.

That's the move you wanna make?

Blast this fool.

You ain't nothing
but a little bitch, homie.

You ain't gonna
do shit, trust me.

Come here, dawg.

Let's go, come on.

- We straight?
- Yeah.

We'll see you soon, boo boo.

I'm supposed to be scared
cos you got a gun?

Huh?

Do somethin'.

You gonna shoot me right here
with all these witnesses, huh?

Do somethin'. Put it right here
and shoot, man.

So I don't know, man.

I don't know!

- We got you, man.
- We got you, bro.

It's cool. Breathe, breathe.

Thanks for sharing, boo.

It means a lot.

It's hard,
takes a lot to stand up

and talk about
something like that.

I mean, you guys know my life.

You guys heard my stories.

It ain't easy.

You're not alone, ok?

You got heart, boo.

Thank you for coming.

Thanks for coming.

- I'll see you in my office.
- Yeah, I got you, man.

Alright, thanks.

Thank you for coming.

Thank you for coming.

Thank you for coming.

Look...

I went to that pizza place,
you know?

And, uh...

And I just cared for
a slice of pizza, man

I just wanted to eat.

I'm standing in line, and...

I see homeboy

the one I told you about.

The guy who shot me.

Man, I was filled
with so much rage.

I wanted to kill that dude, man.

I mean, I was looking for
anything to bash his head, man

just watch him bleed,
you know what I'm saying?

But, it's kind of funny, man

cos every time
my blood gets boiling

you know,
it starts pumping or whatever

my legs hurt,
you know what I'm sayin'?

I still feel the bullets
in my leg, man.

And it, like... and it hurts.

I mean look, man,
the bottom line is, man

I just called you

and I always think about
what you say, you know

it like, spins in my head
every day. Like, I hear you.

Long story short, man,
I didn't do anything.

I walked away, I left.

Nothin' happened.

I mean, I'm trying
to stop, man, I just...

You know, pray for me
or somethin', I don't know.

It's been one of those days.

Days? It's been one
of those years.

I wanna talk
to you about something.

I wanna hang out
with Albert tomorrow.

Sure.

No, like, the whole family.

The three of us.

Chad, we talked about this.

Look, can you
just trust me on this?

There's something about him.

Does your phone never stop?

Can we finish one
conversation ever?

Look, this is my job, ash.

- It's my job.
- I know it's your job.

Excited for the barbecue?

Hey, Ashley, how you doin'?

We'll be inside.

Ok. See you, then.

Does she not like me,
or what's going on?

Nah, she just...

Takes a little time
for her to warm up.

Fair enough.

How you doing man, you good?

Ever since our talk
the other day...

I've been thinking about you.

It's rough, you know.

I mean we all got
our problems, right? But...

It's kind of funny you're here.

I actually wanna tell
you something.

- I threw in the towel, I'm done.
- What?

Yeah.

Street life, gang life, over.

This right here...

This is my gang rag.

This right here man,

That's the proof.

I'm done.

Wow, man.

This is huge.

I mean, for me it is.

I got something for you.

What do you want me

Yeah, wait there.

Alright, alright.

I mean, man, this rage
just filled up in me, man.

So bad.

I was trying to grab anything

No.

Hey, now.

He was faster.

So fast they had
to fly in special film

Alright.

- Mum?
- Yeah, baby?

Does dad have to work tonight?

Nope.

Good.

I wish he didn't have to work
any night.

Yeah, I know.

But somebody's gotta watch
out for the city.

If dad's protecting the city,
who's protecting us?

If the city is safe...

Then so are we, hm?

- Good night.
- Good night.

- Hi, sweetheart.
- Hey.

You ready for bed?

Mm-hmm.

I love you, dad.

I love you too.

- Are you ready?
- Mm-hmm.

- Are you sure?
- Yeah.

Alright, here we go. Catch this.

Ha-ha! Just kidding,
I'm just playing.

Here you go.

Throw it back, throw it back.

Alright, remember what
I showed you. Go, go.

Run, run, run, run, run.
Get it, get it, get it.

Throw it back.

One two, one two!
Alright, let's go.

She looks like she's having fun.

- Yeah.
- Ha, you ready? Here.

Yeah, she does, doesn't she?

So what do you think of him?

I think he's nice.

Please don't say,
"I told you so."

Then I won't.

I think he's nice.

Good, I'm glad
you're warming up to him.

- Yeah.
- He means well.

He really does.

I think he was struggling,
and...

S'all good. Alright, let's go.
Come on.

And I'm there for him,
so I appreciate it.

Get it. Go, go.

Throw it back, come on.

- You got it, that's what's up.
- Hey, Lexi!

Come finish your muffin,
we gotta go.

- You having fun?
- Yeah.

This girl could play.

I'll tell you that
right now, man.

Tackle, everything.
I'd put her on a football team.

Yeah, she's got an arm.

A couple more years.

Hey, Albert, wanna come
to my birthday party?

I think that sounds
like a great idea.

Count me in. I'm coming
to your birthday party.

Great.

You got homemade
chocolate cake, right?

I'll... I'll do my best.

I'll do the magic tricks
or somethin', I don't know.

Let's go feed the fish.

Gonna go feed Nemo. Kids.

Ok.

See, I told you.

- Yeah.
- Told you.

Well, we got last year's game

hanging over us like
a funnel cloud.

And this one's a monster too.

Cedar hill's ranked
number one in Texas

and number three in the nation.

What we gonna do?

Go, go, go, go, go!

Alright, move!
Move this, move this!

Go, go, go, go, go, go, go!

Alright, alright.

Coach, what do you have to do

to beat these horses
from cedar hill?

Hm...

You know, it's pretty much
just a matter of fundamentals.

Go, go, go!

Wrap them up on defence,
block on offense.

Enjoy!

Perfect.

It's the same thing that
got us here in the first place.

We've been doing that
all season long.

We are not gonna run and hide.

They deserve to be here

but then again,
so do our young men.

- Can't wait for the next season.
- You play baseball?

I do play baseball.

In years, like,
it didn't go too well, uh...

But you've gotta have
a few like that.

Is everyone ready?

Yup.

Hello?

Yeah.

What, right now?

Yeah.

Yeah, I'm coming.

Mum, why are we here?
I thought we were going

to the pep rally.

We are, honey.
Dad's just gotta work.

How long you think
we're gonna be here?

I don't know.

Ok.

Just stay in the car.

So what do you say, man?

You know him?

Yeah.

Yeah, his name's Albert.

Y'all don't seem
too excited now, do ya?

Let's find our seats.

That's right,
work your way back.

Y'all ready
to get this party started?

Alright.

But before we do that,
before we get started

we got a very special guest.

Someone that wants to share
some words with you.

World series champion

and former eagle,
from abilene here.

Mr John lackey.

It's good to be back home.

I've been fortunate to win
a world championship

and it started right here
in these seats right here.

Actually I was wearing this
number 10 Jersey, right here.

How about this team
we got this year?

These guys are great,
aren't they?

I can't wait to see you guys
tomorrow night

go out there
and take another step

get your own championship.

You guys go out there tomorrow
and get it done, boys.

Y'all got this.

Go eagles.

- Thank you, Harold.
- Good night, sweetheart.

- Thanks, Harold.
- Good night, bro.

- Hey, Harold.
- Hey, hey.

Harold, you good?

- I'm cool.
- No, you're not cool.

I'm cool, dru...

Here, take this.

Breathe, breathe.

Somebody get a doctor,
get a doctor!

You don't have to go in there.

Everybody's gonna understand.

And, uh, now,
I'd like to introduce

a man we all know and love,
Mr. Wally bullington.

Thank you kindly.

Thank you, good to see you.

Welcome students, parents,
faculty and fans.

I give to you
the 2009 abilene eagles!

Yeah!

I've been trying to think of
who these guys remind me of.

They're fast,
score a lot of points.

Not too physically big
on defense

but love to hit.

Well, let me start
by introducing the captains.

We have costen gooden.

Drew caroll!

Bradley barnett.

No, Bradley Evans.
It's Bradley Evans.

And Kayla gidgen.

Now, this team has got some help

along the way, from up above.

Yeah, let's say hallelujah.
Hallelujah!

Hallelujah.

And they'd been getting
that help

from the team chaplain,
Chad Mitchell.

Chad, Chad?

Will you give
a few words to the group?

Thank you.

These, uh...

These young men sure know
how to play football, right?

And, uh, this is a team
that wins. We've all seen it.

But, today I wanna talk to you
about the things you don't see.

Whether it be the passing
of loved ones

or both parents being locked up

these young men have dealt
with so much adversity.

Absent parents,
peer pressure, addictions...

These young men have experienced

more in their short
amount of time

than most will in a lifetime.

I mean, these young men
made a choice

that life doesn't dictate
their destiny.

They made a choice not to be
a product of their environment

but to be productive
because of their environment.

Right!

They made a choice
that no matter

what life throws at them

they will stand by each other,
fight for one another

like a family should.

Woo!

Now, I believe that
these boys are beacons of hope.

Examples for our community.

Examples for the world.

For you see,
we may not change the world

but we might change
that one person's world.

Now, this morning,
I had to identify the body

of a murder victim.

And his name was Albert.

And Albert was my friend.

Now, after living much of
his life running these streets

his life was radically changed.

He began to see what I see.

He wanted to inspire change.

For that, he was murdered
by a group of cowards.

Today, I wanna challenge you

to accept responsibility
like Albert.

Collaborate, and most
importantly, take action.

Drugs, violence, crime,
domestic troubles

we've got it all
right here in abilene

but most importantly,
we have hope.

Abilene's the city that you love

and it's time for you
to stand up and protect

what is dear to us.

You know, imagine,
we all came together

imagine if we all
accepted responsibility.

A few years back,
I was that guy.

I was that guy
sitting on the couch

watching the news

complaining about my world

when god blindsided me.

And he asked me what was I doing
to change the world?

What was I doing
to make this world better?

Imagine how much better
this world would be

if we all became
our brother's keeper.

I am my brother's keeper.

Bro keep!

Bro keep!

Bro keep!

Bro keep!

Bro keep!

Bro keep!

Bro keep!

Bro keep!

Bro keep!

Bro keep, bro keep,
bro keep, bro keep.

Bro keep, bro keep,
bro keep, bro keep.

Hello,
you've reached ronnell sims.

Please leave a message.

Hey ronnell, something came up

so I won't be able
to make it to the rally.

But I will be
at the game, I promise.

See you soon, son.

Hello, you've
reached ronnell sims.

Please leave a message.

Hey ronnell, something came up

so I won't be able
to make it to the rally.

But I will be
at the game, I promise.

See you soon, son.

Yo!

Let it go, man!

He's burnt you over and over,
you gotta let it go!

I can't, man!

Don't matter
how many times he screwed up.

I still love him.

I don't know, man, it's like...

I guess I wanna try
to forgive him.

And hope he'll change.

So that... so that maybe...
Maybe I can move on.

Even though
he'll probably never change...

And I might never let it go.

Don't you still love your mum?

Every day he tells us

we need to learn how to forgive.

That man does
not care about you, you know it.

Don't you still love your mum?

Why don't you
just shut up, alright?

You don't know
what you're saying.

Don't you still love your mum?

Grandma's forcing me to see her.

Even though
he'll probably never change

and I might never let it go.

Don't you still love your mum?

And I might never let it go.

Hey, baby.

Hey.

Big game tomorrow?

Yeah.

You digging it here?

No.

Probably better than at home.

- No.
- Four meals.

Gym, probably.

Back home we nothing.

Hersch, no.

Look, it's not like that.

I'd rather be at home.

With you and grandma.

I had to pay bills.

What bills, ma?

Me and grandma, we here to help.

I know. I mean,
I know what y'all did.

But hersch...

Life ain't
no football game, son.

It's just us.

We're the team.

I'm not looking for
no bright lights. No miracles.

- I just want my mum.
- Yeah, I know.

- I know, son.
- It's all I want.

Wait, wait, where you going?

Hersch, come back!

Hersch, come on, come back!

I missed you at the rally.

Lots of people there.

Mum, if you wanted to go,
you'd have been there.

What'd he do?

What'd you do?

A murder?

- It wasn't me, bro.
- It wasn't you?

- It wasn't me, bro.
- It's always you, man!

- I didn't do nothing, bro.
- It's always your fault, man!

Bro, what are you doing,
man, get off me!

What you mean what am I doing?

- What'd you do?
- It wasn't me, man.

- It wasn't you?
- No!

- Did you kill Albert?
- No, bro!

Richie? Carlos?

- Tell me!
- Get off me, man.

You're always messing up, man.

Bro, you hit me
one more time, I swear to god.

Get off!

- You always do something.
- Ma.

Don't touch her!

No!

You think gangbangin's the best
you can do with your life.

But you're wrong, zay.

I know it.

Mum knows it.

It seems you're the only one
who doesn't get it.

I have a family.

And they push me forward.

What does your family
do for you, huh?

Nothing!

Why?

Why do you do it, man?

Aren't you tired
of it, man? Just... stop.

Stop doing it.

I didn't do anything.

I didn't do anything!

Mama!

It wasn't me!

I didn't do anything!

- You ok?
- Yeah.

Look, there's something
I gotta show you, man.

About Albert.

You gotta listen to it, ok?

Yo, Chad.

Listen, man,
there was an incident

with one of your boys, boo.

There's some shady people

looking to take a bite
out of him, but I stopped it

and maybe you should go
and check in on him.

Oh, yeah, I can't wait
to go to Lexi's party, man.

There better be cake going,
not no damn brownies, right?

Nah, I'm just playing, bro.

Alright, I'll see you soon, g.

They tried to jump me in, Chad.

Albert came out of nowhere,
and he stepped in.

It wasn't long ago that he
woulda been the one

jumping you in.

And what he did for you,
he woulda done for anyone.

But he'd want you to know
that it's not your fault.

Thanks, man.

But look, you got to remember.

They put on jock straps
same as y'all do, right?

I'll be watching y'all.

I bet we'll hear
you too, though.

Oh, yeah, yeah,
you're gonna hear me, son.

- You're gonna hear me.
- Hey.

You get yourself too worked up

and I'm tossing that TV
right out the window.

Oh, you're gonna snatch
that big old TV

off the wall
and throw it out the window?

Mm-hmm.

You want us
to bring you any barbecue?

You know, I'd let you in
on a little secret, Anthony.

I'm not much of a barbecue fan.

All lies, this one.

Now y'all go ahead on now,
we gonna be watching.

We gonna be pulling
for you and rooting for you

and praying for you, alright?

That's his big daddy voice.

Y'all best be going.

- Take care.
- Hang in there.

- Yeah, you got it.
- See you later, miss Chris.

I hope Harold'll be alright.

I mean, we could sure use
his enthusiasm tomorrow.

You got all of your exes
gunning for you, though.

You crazy.

We'll be alright though, man.
We got it.

- We got this, man.
- Yeah. Yeah.

There he is, hey.

Boo, how are you?

What's up, baby?

What up, man?

He's still up?

No.

Miss Christian laid
the smackdown.

He's good though, right?

Yeah, he's good, he good.

I mean, we better win tomorrow

otherwise we might
just kill that man.

Yo.

Zay was with Richie
and Carlos last night.

Albert was there, too.

Wait, did you mean
zay might have...

No, no, no, no.

He told me they're clean.

You believe him?

Yeah, zay might be angry,
but he ain't dumb.

You know what,
I'll take care of him.

Y'all don't have
to keep worrying about me.

Thanks for having my back.

Boy, you know
we always got your back.

We got you, man.

Let's get out of here.
Hospitals creep me out, man.

I don't like it.

Take it easy.

I'm fricking tired, ash.

Yeah.

Morgue.

Police shift.

Church.

Football.

Morgue again.

Then maybe us.

This city takes people, Chad.

It chews them up
and it spits them out.

And you're always there...

To scoop 'em up.

I thank god for that.

But you're not here.

You're never here.

I haven't been around.

And I'm sorry.

I'm pulled in so many different
directions, I don't know.

Just don't let the city
take you too, ok?

- Herschel.
- Yeah.

Herschel, come on now,
you are always late!

You think coach Warren
gonna play you tonight?

He has no choice,
I'm the star running back.

Oh, stop it.

You running so much
around this house

you gonna be too tired
to play ball.

Seen my duffel bag?

- I think it's in the back.
- Back, back, back, yep.

- Ah, got it.
- You got it?

You need to get out of here.

- Come on, get out of here.
- Book, book, book.

You got to go.

- I got it, I got it.
- Come on.

Hustle, hustle.

- Always.
- Come on.

- Always me.
- I love you.

- And I love you.
- I'm sorry. I gotta go.

- Get outta here.
- Alright.

You seen mum?

No.

I ain't like them, boo.

You think you're so much better
than me.

You and your little rock star
football bros.

No.

It's not better, zay.

It's just different.

Think about it.

Over and around...

Hey, coach.

Oh, hey, Chad.

You been praying for us?

Sure have, sir.

Well, we can sure use it.

Last minute preps?

Yeah, big game today.

I just wanna make sure
I'm doing all I can

to be prepared for these boys.

They have worked so hard
on and off the field this year.

And I know you've been working

closely with them yourself.

Where, um,
where are their heads at?

I'm not gonna lie to you.

They're struggling.

Off the field.

But, um, they're focussed.

They know it's important.

That's good.

Well, I appreciate you
taking time with them

on your Thursday evenings,
and...

Giving 'em a safe place
to air out their thoughts

so that they don't have anything

interfering with their heads
on the playing field.

I know that last year,
that was...

That was a real heartbreaker.

But you know what, I was getting
in my truck last night

and I...

I had this really powerful
realisation

when I looked
in the rear-view mirror

and realised there's probably
a reason why it's this big

and the windshield is this big.

Maybe that's life's way
of telling us

to keep our focus
in the here and now

instead of thinking
about... the past.

Cos I'm convinced that
if we play this game

thinking about
last year's result...

It's not gonna go very well.

But if we keep our thoughts
in the windshield of life...

We're gonna do just fine.

And we're gonna win this game.

Yeah, well we're lucky
to have you, coach.

Well, thank you, buddy.

Feel the same way about you.

It's an honour
to be a part of this family.

Ok, let's get this thing done.

M... ma,
I just wanna say thank you.

You get 'em, ronnell.

You hear me?

I love you, ma.

I love you too, son.

I'll talk to you soon, alright?

Alright, I gotta go.

Not listening to this.

Trade me, bro.

Listen to that.

Hey, what you got on Ricky v?

Uhhhh...

Tsk. Come on, bro.

15 yarder in.

Yeah.

Why, what you got
on trips right?

Trips right, bruh.

Trips right, you line
up on the right trip.

Enough, man.

Is he listening to...

Yeah, he jamming to country.

♪ He was just a boy... ♪

♪ ...about 17 ♪

Alright guys, take a knee.

Last year
was a tough one for us.

We were the heavy favourites
and we got humbled.

And now we're on
the opposite side of that coin.

We're going in
as the underdogs in this one

and we all know it.

The state of Texas thinks
you don't stand a chance

in this game.

But your hometown,
they got your backs.

Make no mistake
about it, gentlemen.

You have every bit as much
a right to be here

as those other boys.

You have fought
just as many teams as they have.

In life, we never
achieve anything

without heart, courage,
and commitment.

Yes, sir!

I want you to do somethin'
for me right now.

Take a look at the man
to your immediate left.

Now swing your head around
to the one on your right.

Look at him good.

I want you to see the sacrifice

that he has made for this team

that he has made for everyone.

I'm talking
about the blood, the sweat

the tears, the heartache

and the disappointment

all of which
are part of football.

You are fighting
for your brothers

for your family

and for this town.

For every single person
that believes in you.

And I love every one
of you for it.

I am extremely proud of what
you have already accomplished

and for what
you are fixing to accomplish.

Yeah!

That's what I like to hear.

So I want you to enjoy
this stage, men.

You worked hard to get here.

Every one of you
are already champions.

And today's game,
it's not David and Goliath.

It is, however, the Genesis

of what you're gonna
be tomorrow.

Yeah!

I got one question
I wanna ask you.

Are you your brother's keeper?

Yes, sir!

I said...
Are you your brother's keeper?

Yes, sir!

Are you your brother's keeper?

Yes, sir!

Alright, good,
then go out there and show it!

And here come
the abilene eagles.

11 and 0,
ranked number six in the state

and now we've come
to the regional semi-finals.

Ranked number one in the state.

These cedar hill boys big,
drusilla.

Mm-hmm, too bad you out
for the season.

Those are some big dudes, man.

Yeah, but we faster.

Ain't no tape in the world
that can capture my speed, baby.

Coach Warren,
how you doing, brother?

Coach fullen.
Always good to see you.

Good to see you again.

- He's a bit of a hugger.
- Good to see you, my man.

I could see that.

Hey, let me tell you
what's firing me up

is y'all's fans.

We came in and they were
packing the parking lot.

We had eagle fans
tailgating everywhere.

Well, we got
the best fans in west Texas.

These folks love their boys.

What you've done with these boys
is absolutely remarkable.

And them sims boys?
Ooh, they like lightning.

Yeah, wait till you see 'em
on the field.

They're like grease lightning.

- Catch you after the game?
- Ok.

Looking forward
to playing the best.

Hey, appreciate it.

- Kick his bald-headed ass.
- Kicking your pimply ass.

Amen.

A year ago, abilene high
went into the playoffs

as a favourite.

This year, they go into
round three against cedar hill

as an underdog.

And they're ready
to kick it away.

Teeing it off
for the abilene eagles

will be Joey renteria.

And welcome
to the state playoffs!

Renteria hits it high,
end over end kick.

He's gonna be taken down
at the 23 yard line!

Alright, alright, alright.

Jackson takes the snap.

He's gonna go to the left.

Barrientes misses him.

Now he's over the 30, the 35.

Has a first down
as he stepped out...

Big right there!
Longhorns big, let's go.

Come on, push at the edge!

Takes a snap, two step drop back

right-handed quarterback throws.

Caught at midfield
and wrapped up at the point.

Ah!

You gotta cover him, son!

The longhorns are picking
up first downs, Chuck.

They're showing
why they are ranked number one.

10:08, third down
and ninth coming up.

Jackson once again.

Looks, throws,
and it's gonna be intercepted!

Goodman across midfield
to the 48 yard line

and the eagles
will end the first drive

for the longhorns!

That's right,
great play, great play.

Come on, boys. Come on, boys!

Not now, I'm trying
to watch the game.

Let me try. Open up, or else.

Turnovers, and
the eagles get the first one.

Abilene high nothing,
cedar hill nothing.

4:41, first quarter.

Second down and nine,
give the ball this time.

- Come on!
- This is gonna be herschel.

- 45, 50, 40!
- Aaah!

Near sideline 30, he's gonna
be bumped out of bounds.

That's a big eagle first down!

Red 80, red 80, red 80!

Eagles are threatening to score.

Yeah, go!

Just do our lines!
Don't let 'em stop you, right!

Herschel takes a snap.

Real close,
he's into the endzone

for an abilene eagle touchdown!

There y'all go.

Herschel got ya!

Waited for the block to set up

instead of diving first blood

as they take the early lead
on cedar hill.

Well, the eagles have
the lead, Chuck

but you get a feeling
we're gonna see a lot more

from cedar hill.

Here's the handoff.

Hayes is gonna go
off right tackle.

He's gonna bust loose at the 40.

Midfield, 40.

30, 20, 10!

We're at almost a tie ballgame.

And dang, al,
you and your sixth sense.

Well, the big story is
can the eagles hold

after that 40 yard punt return?

Hey, hey, it's cool.
We got this.

We're just giving 'em
a chance, is all.

It's cool, we got this.

This one's a little more crisp.

He's gonna run it himself

trying to get around
the right end.

He will get to

the 40 yard line,
picked up a yard.

That was after the whistle,
where is your flag?

One of these boys gonna
get hurt real bad

before you make the right call.

Little Stevie wonder
coulda seen that!

Unsportsmanlike conduct
on abilene high.

I think that's on Steve Warren.

But he was saying, hey,
well after the play.

- Drew carroll was shoved out...
- That was a bogus call.

Hey, you best calm yourself
or the game's going off.

And so Steve Warren
gets a 15 yard penalty.

Everybody saw the late hit
except the referee.

In a 7-7 game,
this could prove costly

for the eagles.

Let's go, eagles!

Ronnell in the shotgun
on this third and long.

He's gonna roll
to the left, throw.

Ball caught at the 30.

To the 35, to the 37 yard line.

The eagles get
a handful of yards

on that catch by tevin Payne

but not enough for a first down.

The eagles seemed
a little out of sync

in that possession.

Not what they needed,
that's a three and out.

Three in a row?

Oh, come on, really, ronnell?

See, we gonna have to talk.

Five yard line.
Cedar hill beginning this drive

on the eagle half of the field.

You good, bro?

Good, man.

Hey, let it go.

Let it go.

You got this.

5:37, first half.

As Jackson takes a snap,
goes to the right

throws down the far sideline.

It's gonna be caught
at the seven

and into the endzone
for a longhorn touchdown.

And now we're
an extra point away

from a seven-point game.

With 41 seconds left,
abilene has second down

and goal from the nine.

Ronnell back in the shotgun,
has an offset wink.

Fakes the ball to herschel,
throws it out in the flat.

Tony Curtis can't make
the catch.

Focus on the game, ronnell

you know better than that!

Nine seconds left
here in the first half.

Ronnell is gonna
go under centre.

Herschel is his running back.

Double tight end set,
fake the handoff to herschel.

Ronnell gets pressure.

He's gonna shuffle it
off for herschel.

Now herschel goes to the left.

He's to the 10, to the five.

He's gonna be knocked
out of bounds

at the one yard line.

Oh, that was your
backyard play between cousins.

Ronnell was being sacked

saw herschel behind him.

Yeah, come on ronnell!

And just with two arms
wrapped around him

lateralled it to him.

What a play,
it's an eight yard gain

for herschel sims.

The eagles have the ball
down at the one yard line

with 27 seconds left
in the half.

Now herschel's in the wildcat.

He's gonna take the snap,
go into the endzone

for another
abilene eagle touchdown!

One more half, dru

our boys
are keeping up with Goliath!

I hear.

- I hear better than you.
- What you say?

23 seconds left
in the first half.

Here's the snap,
here's the kick.

It's headed west, it is up.

And we're tied.

Abilene high 14,
and cedar hill 14.

Al, let's keep it here
and talk about

how important that drive is.

Momentum going
into the locker room...

Zay.

I'll be back, mama.

The eagle band would like to say

congratulations to coach Warren
and the eagle football team

on a perfect 11 and 0 season.

Oh, that was one hell
of a half, gentlemen.

You popped 'em right
in the mouth

and they never saw it coming.

That was beautiful.

Ok, we got 24 more minutes
left of football.

When you get back out there

I want you to take a hard look
up into the stands

because it is a sea
of black and gold.

Your instructions are
to go kick cedar hill's ass!

Yeah, woo!

So, it's first
and 10 from the 25.

Takes a snap.

Over the 30 to the 31

he will pick up a handful
of yards on that carry.

Jackson takes a snap,
one step dropback, pass.

And it's going to be
nearly picked off

by Eric amberlin.

Cedar hill first and 10
from the eagles' 28

Jackson drops back.

There's pressure, now he's
gonna roll out to the left

now he's gonna be hit at the 31.

The eagles will stop him.

Here's the snap, here's
the kick, left-footed kick.

And it will go
through the uprights.

There's some thunder in that leg

as demera banks home

the 47 yard field goal.

Ronnell's with the gun,
he drops back.

He lobs it downfield.

Caught by Mendez!

Good for 41 yards and first down

at the longhorns' 24!

Woo!

Go ronnell, go ronnell!

Ronnell in the shotgun.

He'll take the snap.

You're going nowhere,
big boy, woo-hoo!

Joey renteria.

There's the snap,
the kick, end over end

and off to the right, no good.

Jackson off first down,
fakes the handoff.

Little screen out in the flat.

Molina turns it to 40, the 45.

Now he's gonna break open.

He's got blockers in front
of him at the 20, the 10.

And he's gonna finally
be knocked out of bounds

before he gets into the endzone.

It's amazing, Percy Goodman
drives him out

at the one yard line.

I don't know how he caught him.

One thing's for sure,
he's got speed.

They're gonna
call it first and goal

for the longhorns.

And Jackson will get ready
to take the snap.

They will give, and plunging in
at the goal line

they gave the ball to Hayes

he leapt in but didn't score.

Second and goal
from the one foot line.

Jackson ready to take the snap.

This time he's gonna try
to carry it himself.

He's gonna be stacked up!

No gain on the play.

Third and goal, the eagles
trying to put together

an amazing goal line stand here.

And it all comes down to this.

17-14, cedar hill.

Third and goal.

Now they're gonna
give the ball to molina.

He's gonna try to go outside

and he's gonna be stuffed
back at the four!

The fans are on their feet.

What a goal line stand.

They need one more play.

The ball at about
the two yard line.

Oh, my goodness,
this is big, dru!

Oh, I know!

Jackson takes a high snap.

Gonna give it,
and he'll hand it to molina

who will be stuffed at the five

and the ball
will go over on down

to the abilene eagles!

Praise god,
they stopped 'em, they did it!

The eagles have come up

with a remarkable
goal line stand.

They take over
at their own five yard line.

Herschel's in the wildcat.

He's ready to take the snap.

Second and goal,
with the clock running

and no timeouts

the eagles will have
to move quick

if they're going to avoid
the same fate as last year.

The field opens up at the 20

the 30, the 40, midfield!

- 30!
- Run, baby, run!

10!

That is
an abilene eagle touchdown!

And the eagles win!

It's no mystery.

When people come together...

Incredible things follow.

To achieve a communal end

through love and respect

it has the potential
to shake the world.

You had your team ready
and you called a great game.

I appreciate that, herb.

I think you guys can win it all.

Hell of a game, man. Great.

Here in abilene

we got faith

we got family

and we got football.

The holy Trinity.

Jeezers, don't let it

Last thing we need

That's true.

Right? I mean, I'm just sayin'.

Not funny, not funny.

Hey, just read the article.

Making blocks?

- Alright, tell us more.

- Read, read.
- "Two sims' got going quickly"

on championship night.

Ronnell broke
a 47 yard touchdown run

on just the second play
of the game.

Another run by ronnell made it
14-0 in favour of abilene

in just the first quarter.

"The coach was not surprised to
face an early deficit."

- It keeps going.
- And then, but I say, I say.

I say that's my job, make sure
the team can deal with...

I was a little nervous when
she asked that question to me.
