Becoming Giants (NR)

synopsis

Once upon a time, in a small American town, there was a tiny high school with a short basketball coach. His first squad included identical twin brothers and a boy with one ear. After one season the coach recruited a nice kid who had grown up with the twins. He completed the starting lineup with a tall gangly farm boy who had never even seen a basketball game. In 1952 this Hebron, Illinois Varsity team gave America one of the most unforgettable triumphs in high school sports history. Relive this amazing story about the David's that became Giants and see how they defeated all the Goliaths.
