    The Final Season.

    by Daydream

    Where baseball is the heart and soul of the community, The Final Season is inspired by the true story of the Norway High School Tigers in Norway, Iowa. This small town team has won the state championships 19 times in a row and is down to their final season due to merging schools, budget cuts and shrinking enrollment. This inspirational movie is for every sports fan out there and has life lessons for everyone. Although a characteristic underdog sports movie, it is very heart-warming and worth seeing.

    I thought that it was really good! Not unnecessary bad words to ruin it for kids.
