When the Game Stands Tall

When the Game Stands Tall

It's not how hard you fall, it's how you get back up
  • Remember who's the boss.

Another sports story, of losers coming back to win, but with a twist. The losers in this case had a record 151-winning streak behind them, achieved over 12 years. Inspired by a true story, a real-life adversity leaves the team reeling. They must decide if the sacrifice, commitment, and teamwork they have always trusted in can rebuild what is now disintegrating around them.
