It's 1976 and on Friday nights in Wilkins, Indiana, it seems like everyone in town shows up to cheer on the boys' basketball team. Most people don't know it, but Wilkins also has a girls' basketball team. What this newly formed team lacks in resources, they make up for with grit and ball skill. But teammates Judi, Cindy, and Lisa aren't satisfied with being treated as an afterthought to the boys. They want equal access to the gym for practices and games, as well as uniforms, transportation to away-games, and everything else the boys get.
What will it take for the girls' team to be recognized by their community--winning games, packing arenas, bringing home a state championship?
