The team is led by <a href="/wiki/Gene_Pingatore" title="Gene Pingatore">Gene Pingatore</a>, who coached <a href="/wiki/National_Basketball_Association" title="National Basketball Association">National Basketball Association</a> (NBA) Hall of Fame player <a href="/wiki/Isiah_Thomas" title="Isiah Thomas">Isiah Thomas</a> when Thomas played at St. Joseph. Agee and Gates are both from poor <a href="/wiki/African-American_neighborhoods_in_Chicago" class="mw-redirect" title="African-American neighborhoods in Chicago">African-American neighborhoods in Chicago</a>, Illinois: Gates lives in the <a href="/wiki/Cabrini%E2%80%93Green" class="mw-redirect" title="Cabrini–Green">Cabrini–Green</a> projects, while Agee and his family reside in <a href="/wiki/West_Garfield_Park,_Chicago" title="West Garfield Park, Chicago">West Garfield Park</a>. Both boys face 90-minute commutes to the school each way. </p><p>In their freshman year, Gates starts on the varsity team at St. Joseph and helps them win the sectional title, earning a mention from <i><a href="/wiki/The_Sportswriters_on_TV" title="The Sportswriters on TV">The Sportswriters on TV</a></i> as possibly "the next Isiah Thomas", although St. Joseph is eliminated in the super-sectionals in a narrow loss to <a href="/wiki/St._Francis_de_Sales_High_School_(Chicago,_Illinois)" title="St. Francis de Sales High School (Chicago, Illinois)">St. Francis de Sales High School</a>. Meanwhile, Agee plays on the freshman team and struggles both on the court and in the classroom. </p><p>At the end of the year, Agee is kicked out of St. Joseph as his family is unable to pay his tuition; Gates's fees are covered by his sponsor, the president of <a href="/wiki/Encyclopedia_Britannica" class="mw-redirect" title="Encyclopedia Britannica">Encyclopedia Britannica</a>, who also helps him find a <a href="/wiki/White_collar_worker" class="mw-redirect" title="White collar worker">white collar</a> summer job. Agee's rejection from St. Joseph damages his self-confidence, and he plays poorly for the high school team at <a href="/wiki/Marshall_Metropolitan_High_School" title="Marshall Metropolitan High School">John Marshall High School</a>, coached by Luther Bedford. In his sophomore year, Gates again starts on the varsity team. St. Joseph is eliminated by <a href="/wiki/Gordon_Tech" class="mw-redirect" title="Gordon Tech">Gordon Tech</a> in the sectional finals, and Gates struggles with the weight of expectations from his brother, Curtis, who was a talented player in his own right but never made it to the pros and has now transferred his unfulfilled aspirations onto his younger brother. </p><p>In their junior year, both boys face challenges. Gates suffers a knee injury that requires surgery and months of rehabilitation, while Arthur's mother, Sheila, loses her job and the family goes on <a href="/wiki/Welfare_spending" title="Welfare spending">welfare</a> as Arthur's father, Bo, has walked out and become addicted to drugs. Bo later gives up drugs and returns to the family, and Sheila earns a nursing degree. During this time, the Agee household takes in Arthur's close friend, Shannon, who is escaping an abusive household. </p><p>On the court, Agee and John Marshall improve on their poor sophomore year record, including winning an upset victory over <a href="/wiki/Dunbar_Vocational_High_School" title="Dunbar Vocational High School">Dunbar Vocational High School</a>. St. Joseph makes it to the sectional finals, where they once again face Gordon Tech. Gates plays timidly because of his injury. At the end of the fourth quarter, with seconds on the clock and trailing by one, St. Joseph wins two <a href="/wiki/Free_throw" title="Free throw">free throws</a>. Gates—normally a clutch free throw shooter—steps up to take them, but he misses both and St. Joseph are knocked out of the play-offs. </p><p>Despite his injury, Gates is courted by many college basketball programs, especially <a href="/wiki/Marquette_University" title="Marquette University">Marquette University</a>, and attends the <a href="/wiki/Nike,_Inc." title="Nike, Inc.">Nike</a> All-America summer camp at <a href="/wiki/Princeton_University" title="Princeton University">Princeton</a> before his senior year (where <a href="/wiki/Dick_Vitale" title="Dick Vitale">Dick Vitale</a> and <a href="/wiki/Spike_Lee" title="Spike Lee">Spike Lee</a> make appearances). After returning from camp, Gates signs a <a href="/wiki/National_Letter_of_Intent" title="National Letter of Intent">letter of intent</a> with Marquette, though he struggles to meet the minimum <a href="/wiki/ACT_(test)" title="ACT (test)">ACT</a> test score to be eligible for an athletic scholarship. Meanwhile, Arthur, playing high school basketball in the <a href="/wiki/Chicago_Public_High_School_League" title="Chicago Public High School League">Chicago Public High School League</a>, attracts far less attention from college recruiters, although a couple of <a href="/wiki/Junior_college" title="Junior college">junior colleges</a> show interest in him. </p><p>In Gates's senior year, St. Joseph's season concludes early in a second-round play-off loss against <a href="/wiki/Nazareth_Academy_(La_Grange_Park,_Illinois)" title="Nazareth Academy (La Grange Park, Illinois)">Nazareth Academy</a>, ending his hopes of "going <a href="/wiki/Downstate_Illinois" title="Downstate Illinois">downstate</a>" for the state championship. Gates had been benched by Coach Pingatore at the start of the game for arriving late. John Marshall goes on an unlikely run through the city championship, largely thanks to Agee's excellent play.
