Hoosiers

The story takes place in Hickory, Indiana in 1951 where a high school basketball team went to the state championship game. The main characters are coach Norman Dale, Jimmy Chitwood and Myra Fleener.

The conflict in the story is when the town didn't like the new coach and they didn't have the best player, Jimmy Chitwood.

The town wanted to fire the coach until Jimmy Chitwood said he would only join the team if they kept the coach. Once Jimmy was on the team they won many games and had a lot of success. This was the rising action of the movie.

In the championship game coach called a timeout and drew up a play that the team didn't like because Jimmy wasn't the one shooting the ball. Jimmy looked at coach and said, " I will make it!" Jimmy made the basket and they won their first ever State Championship title. This is the climax of the story.

The players and the town were very happy as this was their first state championship win. The town celebrated for days. This is the falling action of the movie.

The resolution of the movie was when people in the town were asking if the coach was going to stay for the next season. They ended up really liking the coach and what he did with the team. Coach was probably going to stay because he started dating Myra Fleener.
