The Cats are going to Indianapolis, just like Hickory did!

“And David put his hand in the bag, and took out a stone and slung it, and struck the Philistine on the head, and he fell to the ground.”

Beat South Bend Central, err, Ohio State!
Bring back the trophy boys!

I can almost picture Chad Hanaoka on Tommy Doles’ shoulders, holding a tape measure from the goalpost at Lucas Oil Stadium today in the walk through while Fitz says “I think you’ll find the exact same measurements at our field back in Evanston.”
 
“Hickory’ was Milan High School.
And they were actually in the final four the year before & had Bobby Plump (called Jimmy Chitwood in the movie) who was the best player in the state & won Mr. Basketball in 1954 on the way to the championship.

In real life Bobby Plump held the ball for the last 4 minutes of a tied game before hitting the winning shot. He had only made two shots before in the entire game, but still dribbled at the defender & pulled up for the jumper & hit it for the win.
