The basketball season tips off, and head coach Mark Taylor is on a mission to win a seventh state championship in eight years. Star player C.J. Wilcher looks to impress college recruiters.
After Zarique walks out on the team, C.J. steps up and provides leadership. Injury-prone senior Madani Diarra makes progress with his knee rehabilitation.
The team attends a national tournament in South Carolina and is challenged for the first time. Aaron replaces C.J. as the team's go-to offensive player.
With college scouts in attendance to watch Madani, Zarique graciously gives him his starting spot. Madani visits Colgate University in hopes of clinching a scholarship offer.
While Zarique is suffering with academic trouble, the team plays its biggest rival, Blair Academy. Coach Taylor questions the effort of the entire team.
While C.J. sits out the remainder of the season with an ankle injury, the pressure mounts as the team prepares for the state semifinals. Coach Taylor challenges the team to come together.
