1:26:07
(Norm) All right, let's go. Let's go.
1:26:10
- (reporter) Coach, how did you do it?
- It wasn't me. It was the boys.
1:26:14
...miss that final shot?
- No. I knew I had it all the way.
1:26:17
Really?
1:26:18
- Tell you later.
- The team you're against in the final,
1:26:21
South Bend Central, is one of
the power teams in the state.
1:26:24
Their front line is 6'4", 6'5" and 6'5".
1:26:27
- How can your little guys compete?
- I don't know.
1:26:31
- Do you have a scouting report?
- More important to me than that,
1:26:34
my boys only know basketball, farming
and school, probably in that order.
1:26:38
Most of 'em have never seen
a building taller than two storeys.
1:26:41
So taking them to Indianapolis
to play in front of 15,000 people
1:26:45
is kind of like you and me
going to the moon.
1:26:49
Who we play is the least of my concerns.
1:26:51
Will you be back at Hickory next year?
1:26:56
It's a good question.
1:27:04
No school this small has ever been
in the state championship.
1:27:07
I know. I was coach for a while.
1:27:10
I won a big game for 'em.
I coached the last two minutes.
1:27:12
I took 'em right down to the wire. I run
the picket fence on 'em, and we won!
1:27:17
And my son, he's on...
1:27:21
How you doin', Dad?
1:27:24
The conquering hero. I heard the game
right there on that little Philco,
1:27:27
and I heard old Ollie dribble on his foot
and then make that charity shot.
1:27:31
I started bawling, and they bring the white
coats in here and they put a jacket on me.
1:27:36
I was feeling so good
I didn't even mind too much.
1:27:44
You're doing good?
1:27:50
Well...
1:27:52
I feel real empty inside and, uh...
1:27:58
I have some bad visions.
