No excuses.

Ooach, who's up first?

Ooach!

Uh, 190s!

Oome on. Pick it up!

Shake hands.

Wrestle.

Yeah!

Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba!

All right, coach, who's next?

Uh, 167 s!

Let's go! Rezac.

Rezac!

All right, last chance for 167 s.

Yeah, it is.

Rezac!

Looks like someone wants a shot

at the team captain.

You got this.

Hey!

Wrestle!

Two! Takedown.

Time!

Near fall. Three.

Five, Rezac. Hamill, zero.

You're up. You're down.

Wrestle!

Reversal! Two.

Pin!

Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba!

Looks like we got ourselves

a new wrestler, coach.

We'll see.

That's how we do it!

Oantrell.

Do they know this is wrestling?

Why are there

so many people here?

They're here

for The Hammer, coach.

The Hammer?

Yeah. Hamill.

Oh, boy.

That was easy.

Someone tell The Hammer

to get on the mat.

Ooach!

Let's go, Matt.

Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba!

Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba!

Me, too.

- All right.

- Time!

All right, work on your set-ups.

Finish your takedowns, let's go!

Hey, work with that group

over there, Stephan.

I'm gonna talk to him for a sec.

Hey, you know

why he beat you, right?

I ran out of time.

No. He had a strategy,

scoring points.

Yeah, but time ran out

before I could...

Pin him?

You don't have to pin

everyone you wrestle.

The goal is to win, right?

Takedown, reversal...

two points.

Escape... one point.

Near fall...

two or three points.

Ooach, I know all this.

Doesn't matter.

I know I can pin him.

Even the best wrestlers,

they can't pin quality opponents

most of the time.

You don't have to pin,

just have to win.

Okay?

Hey.

Pair up with Stephan.

What's your point?

No, it is, Kristi.

I'm doing this for you.

What happened?

Oome on,

let's go get some coffee.

Okay.

Dad...

show Matt what you learned.

Pat, we should go.

Oome on.

Hi, Grandpa.

Hey.

You won last week.

Not bad.

You did it, huh?

Not yet.

National championship's

not till next week.

You're signing?

Join them.

I love you, too, Grandpa.

I don't need anyone's help.

Kristi.

Where is he?!

Where is he?

There he is!

Look who decided

to show back up!

Look who decided...

Ooach!

I can't understand you!

Oantrell!

Where the hell is Oantrell?

Tell this little piss-ant

that if he has the nerve

to disappear,

not return our phone calls,

then cha-cha-cha back here

like nothing happened...

Ooach, his grandfatherjust died.

I just heard myself.

Grandfather.

Matt, this school

and the athletic department

has very stern rules,

one of which is if you miss

more than three consecutive practices,

then you're unable to participate

in the following match.

Ooach!

It's the Nationals!

Exactly,

which is why I had to spend

the entire week

covering for you

with the athletic director.

You should have called,

you know, kept us in the loop.

You might think the world

revolves around you, Matt,

but what you don't understand

is that wrestling's also a team sport.

Fix this chalkboard, Oantrell.

And meet me in my office!

# I guess nothing goes #

# Just how you plan #

# But it made me strong #

# Made me a man #

# When I'm looking back someday #

# I won't have one complaint #

# Took life as it came #

# Made some pretty good lemonade #

# Nobody knows #

# When the time will come #

# Hope you can say... #

# That you had some fun #

# When I'm looking back someday #

# I won't have one complaint #

# Took life as it came #

# Made some

pretty damn good lemonade #

Hi.

No. Sorry.

Well, she was...

pretty upset when you left.

Oh, yeah. Sure. Of course.

Put them on her desk.

We're rooting for you.

Ladies and gentlemen,

welcome to the 1997 Division 3

NOAA Wrestling Ohampionship.

We've got a great crowd

here today at R.I.T.

- Whoo!

- Yeah!

- Whoo!

Oome on now!

R.I. T! R.I. T! R.I. T!

R.I. T! R.I. T!

R.I. T! R.I. T! R.I. T!

R.I. T!

R.I. T! R.I. T!

R.I. T! R.I. T! R.I. T!

- R.I. T!

- Out of bounds!

Ah, that's good.

Good. That's good.

Have a venti, huh?

Ride him!

Ride him! Ride him! Ride him!

Yeah!

Open your eyes!

What? Are you kidding me?!

Jay Jakubowski of R.I.T.

Ioses by disqualification.

Are you crazy?

Ooach, that was his

fourth violation.

Hey, genius, he's deaf!

Maybe he didn't hear you, huh?

Ooach, here's your warning.

Unsportsmanlike conduct.

Give me a break!

Oome on!

Oome on, buddy. Yeah!

Yeah, buddy!

Yeah!

Yeah!

With the semi-final round completed,

we will now move into

the final matches

for each weight class.

So...

Here we are.

Seems certainly fitting

that this is how

it's coming to a close.

Jason Sloan,

two-time national champ,

against Matt Hamill.

Whoever wins tonight

will forever be called a champion.

For Sloan, well,

he's looking to be called

a three-time national champion.

That's what's at stake for him.

That's how bad he wants it.

And the only thing

standing in the way

of everything this guy

has ever worked for...

is a sophomore walk-on.

So what's at stake

for Mr. Hamill?

Winning the national

championship, no doubt.

That's not really it, is it?

When you guys go back

in that gymnasium,

I want you to look

in the stands.

I want you

to look in the crowd...

because those are the stakes.

If your hand is raised

at the end of the match,
