Sitting here watching “The Heart of the Game” , the movie about Darnellia Russell and so many things run through my mind from how great the game of basketball is to the impact it can have on people’s lives but one scene always seems to resonate with me.
The team is up by two in the championship game for the state championship and the other team is on the foul line. They miss the first shot and then call a timeout. Everyone in the gym knows that the team plans to miss on purpose then get the rebound. Coach decides to put some height in the game to prevent them from getting the rebound and preserving the lead. At that point a young girl named Maggie says “ put her in for me , I am short “. Now that is what I call teamwork and doing what is best for the team.
