1374

01:
08:34,276 -- 01:08:35,868

why don't Ray Charles

and Stevie Wonder

1375

01:
08:35,945 -- 01:08:37,310

ever record together?

1376

01:
08:37,379 -- 01:08:38,937

Seems logical, right?

1377

01:
08:39,014 -- 01:08:40,641

Probably because of

safety concerns, you know.

1378

01:
08:40,716 -- 01:08:42,741

They'd be both onstage

moving their heads.

1379

01:
08:42,818 -- 01:08:43,876

They might bump heads

or something, right?

1380

01:
08:43,953 -- 01:08:45,545

Knock each other out.

1381

01:
08:46,789 -- 01:08:48,051

Look to help, fellas,

look to help.

1382

01:
08:49,425 -- 01:08:50,983

Announcer:

42-30...

1383

01:
08:51,060 -- 01:08:53,187

That's five wins in a row

for the Patriots.

1384

01:
08:53,262 -- 01:08:55,662

Sam:

Stevie Wonder got that song

"Isn't She Lovely?"

1385

01:
08:55,731 -- 01:08:57,790

Are you asking me, Stevie,

or are you telling me?

1386

01:
08:57,867 -- 01:08:58,561

[Laughs]

1387

01:
08:58,634 -- 01:09:00,499

I guess he's trying to

find out if she's lovely

1388

01:
09:00,569 -- 01:09:02,537

'cause he can't see her.

1389

01:
09:03,806 -- 01:09:06,297

j& I feel like throwin' it up j&

1390

01:
09:06,375 -- 01:09:08,468

Man, look at

our cheerleaders, bro.

1391

01:
09:08,544 -- 01:09:10,671

They're like Heinz ketchup.

1392

01:
09:10,746 -- 01:09:12,543

Just terrible, sloppy.

1393

01:
09:12,615 -- 01:09:14,913

Look at them.

Look at the way them cheerlead.

1394

01:
09:14,984 -- 01:09:16,815

That's bad over there, bro.

1395

01:
09:16,886 -- 01:09:18,854

Damn!

Mm-mm-mm.

1396

01:
09:20,055 -- 01:09:21,181

[Groans]

1397

01:
09:22,892 -- 01:09:24,757

Reporter:

And in high-school news,

1398

01:
09:24,827 -- 01:09:27,990

we've got a Cinderella story that is

capturing the city's imagination.

1399

01:
09:28,063 -- 01:09:30,896

The John Ehret Patriots

have made the state playoffs

1400

01:
09:30,966 -- 01:09:32,866

after their improbable

eight-game winning streak.

1401

01:
09:32,935 -- 01:09:35,369

Their perseverance

against the odds

1402

01:
09:35,437 -- 01:09:37,200

has given the flood-ravaged

city of New Orleans

1403

01:
09:37,273 -- 01:09:38,831

reason to believe.

1404

01:
09:38,908 -- 01:09:41,672

Wait, wait, wait. I brought something.

It's just shoes.

1405

01:
09:41,744 -- 01:09:43,939

- You got a size 12?

- Here, just for you.

1406

01:
09:44,013 -- 01:09:45,207

Thank you.

1407

01:
09:47,550 -- 01:09:49,450

We're going all the way

to the championship, baby!

1408

01:
09:53,455 -- 01:09:57,516

What are the things

necessary for us to win?

1409

01:
09:57,593 -- 01:09:59,185

Brings the ball in to Randolph...

1410

01:
09:59,261 -- 01:10:02,128

- Execution.

- All:
Execution.

1411

01:
10:02,198 -- 01:10:03,688

- It's good!

- [Buzzer sounds]

1412

01:
10:03,766 -- 01:10:06,064

- My effort.

- My effort.

1413

01:
10:06,135 -- 01:10:08,296

- My will.

- My will.

1414

01:
10:08,370 -- 01:10:10,304

- My thoughts.

- My thoughts.

1415

01:
10:10,372 -- 01:10:11,964

- It will be...

- It will be...

1416

01:
10:12,041 -- 01:10:13,474

- because of me.

- Because of me.

1417

01:
10:13,542 -- 01:10:15,908

Come on in, fellas.

1418

01:
10:15,978 -- 01:10:18,037

On three...

one, two, three!

1419

01:
10:18,113 -- 01:10:19,410

All:
Patriots!

1420

01:
10:19,481 -- 01:10:21,312

Unbelievable!

1421

01:
10:21,383 -- 01:10:22,577

Here we are

at the state semi-finals,

1422

01:
10:22,651 -- 01:10:24,551

and the underdog Patriots

are up by six!

1423

01:
10:25,621 -- 01:10:26,952

Go for three!

1424

01:
10:33,329 -- 01:10:35,559

Another missed opportunity

by the Patriots.

1425

01:
10:35,631 -- 01:10:37,258

[Crowd booing]

1426

01:
10:39,034 -- 01:10:40,467

...supposed to be coming over.

1427

01:
10:40,536 -- 01:10:42,504

That's the game?

That's the game right there.

1428

01:
10:42,571 -- 01:10:43,538

Turn it up.

1429

01:
10:43,606 -- 01:10:44,766

Get up and guard him!

1430

01:
10:44,840 -- 01:10:46,637

Announcer:

Chief sails.

1431

01:
10:46,709 -- 01:10:49,269

Stops. Pops. Hops!

1432

01:
10:49,345 -- 01:10:50,903

Another three for the Chiefs.

1433

01:
10:50,980 -- 01:10:53,141

Oh, my, how the momentum

has changed!

1434

01:
10:53,215 -- 01:10:57,311

The Chiefs are on a 12-3 run.

1435

01:
10:57,386 -- 01:10:59,718

Get the ball thrown to Randolph...

1436

01:
10:59,788 -- 01:11:01,551

Take it down, baby!

Shoot the ball.

1437

01:
11:01,624 -- 01:11:03,888

Brian, what are you doing?

1438

01:
11:07,263 -- 01:11:08,423

You had the shot right at the key!

1439

01:
11:08,497 -- 01:11:10,397

Passing the ball off, that's soft!

1440

01:
11:10,466 -- 01:11:12,457

Hey, Brian!

Good play.

1441

01:
11:27,049 -- 01:11:28,607

It's all right, son.

Stay in the game.

1442

01:
11:28,684 -- 01:11:30,276

Stay in the game.

1443

01:
11:33,822 -- 01:11:35,414

Announcer over radio:

The Chiefs have come back...

1444

01:
11:35,491 -- 01:11:37,356

Oh, come on, D!

Play defense!

1445

01:
11:37,426 -- 01:11:39,587

Keep your head on the game!

Keep your head on the game.

1446

01:
11:39,662 -- 01:11:40,629

Come on, boys!

1447

01:
11:43,599 -- 01:11:45,123

Patriots up by two.

1448

01:
11:45,200 -- 01:11:46,690

- Time out! Time out!

- [Whistle blows]

1449

01:
11:46,769 -- 01:11:48,361

Time out!

30-second time out!

1450

01:
11:48,437 -- 01:11:50,371

Come on, come on, fellas.

1451

01:
11:50,439 -- 01:11:52,066

Good effort, good work.

1452

01:
11:53,409 -- 01:11:55,536

All right, here we go.

We want to go straight.

1453

01:
11:55,611 -- 01:11:58,637

No switching, no switching.

No fouls, no threes.

1454

01:
11:58,714 -- 01:12:00,944

No fouls under

any circumstance, all right?

1455

01:
12:01,016 -- 01:12:02,984

Either we get this down

or we go into overtime.

1456

01:
12:03,052 -- 01:12:04,542

All right?

Patriots on three.

1457

01:
12:04,620 -- 01:12:06,178

Right?

Here we go.

1458

01:
12:06,255 -- 01:12:07,984

- One, two, three!

- All:
Patriots!

1459

01:
12:08,057 -- 01:12:09,183

Here we go.

1460

01:
12:09,258 -- 01:12:11,886

They're putting in Number 21.

1461

01:
12:11,960 -- 01:12:13,757

They did this in Mandeville.

1462

01:
12:13,829 -- 01:12:15,694

He's only got one play,

1463

01:
12:15,764 -- 01:12:18,358

a backdoor screen,

then lob the ball in the air

1464

01:
12:18,434 -- 01:12:20,026

for an alley-oop.

The kid's a jumper.

1465

01:
12:20,102 -- 01:12:24,129

Crowd:

Go, Chiefs! Go, Chiefs!

1466

01:
12:24,206 -- 01:12:26,003

- Time out, ref!

- Time out.

1467

01:
12:26,075 -- 01:12:28,100

[Crowd booing]

1468

01:
12:31,113 -- 01:12:33,240

Listen up.

They just subbed in Number 21,

1469

01:
12:33,315 -- 01:12:34,441

the big guy.

1470

01:
12:34,516 -- 01:12:36,279

They like getting that backdoor lob.

1471

01:
12:36,352 -- 01:12:38,217

Okay, so we got to go fake man

1472

01:
12:38,287 -- 01:12:40,152

to a match-up zone

so they can't throw it

1473

01:
12:40,222 -- 01:12:41,450
