Believe in Me

For my summer movie report I watched Believe in Me. In the movie Coach Driscol moves to a small rural town thinking he is going to coach the men's high school basketball team, when actually he has been hired to coach the women's team. In the town and at the high school nobody really takes the women's team seriously, but Coach Driscol really begins to believe in the heart and passion of the members of his team and they actually go on to win a State Championship.

I chose to watch this movie, because out of the list of movies it was the only won I had not seen yet, so I was curious to see what it was about. What hit home for me the most was to see how little support women's sports had during this time period (1960's).
