but by asking you to do

the same, reach out.

Introduce yourself

to somebody you don't know.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

- Hi.

- Hi, how are you?

Coach.

Good to see you.

Good to see you. You, I know.

You three are trouble.

I'm glad you're here.

So are you.

- Hey.

- Kathy, nice to meet you.

Good luck, Coach.

Hi, what's your name?

Line would have loved this.

(WHISTLE BLOWS)

West, I need your Captain.

Here we go, you guys.

Let's go, coin toss.

They asked for our captain.

Right, that's us.

No, it's you, Kell.

No, that's not how

we've been...

You earned it. Go.

Go on. Get over there.

I'm not gonna

lose this toss

'cause you're dragging

your feet, Captain.

We did this together.

I want everybody there.

Then go get them.

Come on.

I need my girls.

- Come on, that means you guys, too.

- BREZ:
Go on, go on!

REFEREE:

West, it's your call.

ALL:

Heads.

- Yes.

- Yeah!

- Serve, side or receive?

- Serve.

And what side do you want?

- This side's good.

- Great. Have fun, girls.

Ah, Kelley,

we just wanna say whatever

happens out there today,

it isn't personal,

it's just the game.

Right. We were thinking

Line wouldn't want us

to throw the championship.

So, in a way

we're honoring her too.

Thanks for letting me know.

It'll make our win

even sweeter.

Nice girls, but it's time

to take them down.

ALL:

Yeah!

- West on nine?

- Mmm-hmm.

ALL:
One, two, three, four, five,

six, seven, eight, nine, West!

Own the net.

(WHISTLE BLOWS)

ANNOUNCER:

And West gets us started.

(INDISTINCT SHOUTING)

ANNOUNCER:
City takes advantage

and hammers it for the kill.

Let's go, guys.

Back hands, ladies.

(WHISTLE BLOWS)

ANNOUNCER:

Blocked by City.

There's just no hitting

through City's huge block.

(WHISTLE BLOWS)

Good job, guys. Keep it up.

Keep it up.

City with a dominant start.

West can't get their offense

going around that massive block

that City is putting up.

It's okay. It's okay.

Watch the floor, watch the

floor, okay?

Change it up, serve to one.

ANNOUNCER:
Another kill by City,

as they close in on set two.

BREZ:
Forget about it, ladies.

Next play.

(CROWD APPLAUDING)

ANNOUNCER:
City is on a roll.

They look unstoppable.

(INDISTINCT SHOUTING)

GIRL:

You got this.

Deep serve.

You got this.

Free ball, Carmen, free ball.

Get it over!

(WHISTLE BLOWS)

Great job!

ANNOUNCER:
And West is

down two sets to none.

And the state championship

is just one set away for City.

(WHISTLE BLOWS)

(GROANS)

We had a heck of a run.

We really did.

Line would've

said it was epic.

We need more Trojans at the net,

they're killing us there.

I'll run the sixes closer to the

antenna to throw them off.

Yeah, good. So, Taylor,

you make that adjustment.

Let's shut them down.

What? Freshman, you all right?

Maybe we should go back

to setting mostly to Mackenzie.

Maybe that's the only way we

have a shot.

They've been blocking me, too.

No, no, no.

Trust your setter.

She knows what you can handle,

when you're the right person

at the right time.

You strong women got us here.

You did this.

I have never been prouder

to be a coach.

I love all of you so much.

I want you to know that.

Win this for yourselves.

- We love you too, Brez.

- Yeah.

Now, come on, Coach, wipe off

those tears.

No crying on the court.

- There is no crying on the court.

- No crying!

That's my rule,

no crying on the court.

Come on, you guys,

let's play West volleyball.

West on nine.

ALL:
One, two, three, four, five,

six, seven, eight, nine, West!

SCOTT:
All right, this is your set.

Let's go, let's go, let's go.

You got this.

Let's go.

ANNOUNCER:
And West needs

to get something going here

if they're going to have a prayer

as we start the third set.

Starts with a pass, ladies.

- Freshman, here.

- GIRL:
Outside.

Yes!

Way to execute, Freshman.

Very nice.

(INDISTINCT SHOUTING)

ANNOUNCER:
Number three

with a kill for the win.

These West High Trojans

have taken their first set.

Yeah!

ANNOUNCER:

The question we're all asking

now is will they be able

to go the distance

as we start the fourth set?

(WHISTLE BLOWS)

(CHEERING)

ANNOUNCER:
And we are neck and neck

here at the end of the fourth set.

GIRL:

Get on that!

- Yeah!

- Yes!

(CROWD CHEERING AND APPLAUDING)

And West is one point away

from taking this to a fifth set.

All right, guys.

We're back in it.

- Pass me the ball.

- Yeah, I will, babe.

Okay. Double time, all right?

Double time!

Let's finish this, all right?

Let's go!

(INDISTINCT SHOUTING)

CROWD:
Go, West, go!

Go, West, go!

GIRL:

Back set!

(INDISTINCT SHOUTING)

GIRL:
Yeah, me! Outside!

Outside!

Yeah!

ANNOUNCER:

Huge kill for 11!

We are going to a fifth set,

where anything can happen.

We have set. Okay?

Only 15 more points, guys.

- We can do this!

- We are doing this, you guys!

Whole crew got the juice

Yo game the truth

My screams is the proof

Them other dudes

get the deuce

When I speed in this coupe,

leaving the interview

(CHEERING)

Banging the drum like,

dum di di day

I know you want it

in the worst way

I wanna hear you

calling my name

Like, hey mama, mama,

hey mama, ma

Be my woman, girl,

I'll be your man

(CHEERING)

Be your man

Be my woman, girl,

BREZ:
Nice serve, Kelley.

Yeah, it's up. It's up.

Yeah, power! Yes!

Forget about it, ladies.

Next play.

ANNOUNCER:

And with that kill,

City is one point away

from the state championship.

One pass, ladies. One pass.

BREZ:
Okay, here we go.

Get ready for a cross.

(CHEERING)

ANNOUNCER:

I can't believe my eyes!

City misses their

match-point serve!

BREZ:

Nice serve. Yeah, it's up!

GIRL:

Pass that!

- GIRL 2:
Outside!

- GIRL 1:
Here, here, here!

Yes!

ANNOUNCER:
A smart play

by 11 off the block

puts West up by one.

And for this marathon to end,

they have to win by two.

Hey, hey. Who feels good

for the last play?

- Go with who always delivers.

- Yeah.

Okay. All right.

Outside three. You got this.

All right. Front hands,

front hands!

Watch dump, watch dump.

You got two swings.

Use it, ladies!

ANNOUNCER:

And number one for West,

serving for the championship.

It all comes down to this.

Go, go, go!

Outside! It's mine!

Taylor, it's you!

ANNOUNCER:

And it's good!

(EVERYONE SCREAMING

AND CHEERING)

And the West High Trojans

are state champions

two years in a row!

The stuff of legends!

GIRL:

Yeah!

(ALL CHEERING)

ANNOUNCER:

The West High Trojans

have come back

from two games down

to take the

championship.

Thank you, Coach.

Thank you, Kelley Fliehler.

You are, without a doubt,

one heck of a volleyball player.

Oh, my God!

- I'm shaking.

- She'd be so proud of you.

Where it began

I can't begin to knowing

But then I know

it's growing strong

Good job, Coach Brez.

Good job, Brez!

Good job, Coach!

Then spring
