A Must-Watch: The Street Stops Here
Lindsey Burke /
For sports enthusiasts, March is an exciting month. The excitement of the NCAA Tournament keeps even the casual fan glued to the edge of their seat until the final buzzer sounds. While it’s easy to get caught up in the players, it often comes down to the coaches and the belief that every talented student athlete also has the potential to excel in a professional career beyond basketball. The NCAA has made this clear throughout March by running special advertisements with this message: “There are over 380,000 student athletes, and most of us go pro in something other than sports.”
While the game matters, life after the game is what matters the most.
A microcosm of this message presents itself in a new documentary film about a legendary high school basketball program, whose off-the-court record of graduating all but two players is even arguably more impressive than the near-perfect on-the-court track record of 24 state basketball championships.
