MEET THE MAIN CAST MEMBERS: Darnellia Russell Bill Resler Devon Crosby Helms Joyce Walker Maud Lepley

With everyone rooting for her to make it, Darnellia makes some choices away from the court that threaten her basketball dreams and force her to go to court to control her destiny.

PURE FIRE, talent and intimidation, she walks into the gym one day and begins a six-year roller coaster ride, dazzling with her spiritedy play — good enough to make it in the WNBA.

He constantly invents gags, schemes and precision plays to inspire the girls to not only win, but to have more fun than any team in the country. He devises the "inner circle" where he clears out all parents, referees, fans and coaches from the girls' world and lets them solve problems on their own.

IMMATURE in the best sense of the word, ingenious and fun. A coach who lives and breathes basketball, taking time out from his job as a tax professor at the University of Washington.

EMOTIONS over-the-top and a deeply felt passion for playing basketball — we follow Devon's drama through a falling out with coaches, friends and family as she struggles to hold back a painful secret.

A POWERHOUSE of a person and one of the greatest players in the game — All American, Olympian, and Harlem Globetrotter. She returns to coach at her alma mater, Garfield High School, and becomes Resler's archrival and challenges the Roughrider's claim to dominance.

Called A BASKETBALL HISTORY BOOK by Resler, she coached girls' basketball from 1926 to 1930. 96-year-old Maud Lepley walks into the Roughrider's gym one day and takes us on an entertaining journey to the origins of women's basketball.
