Miss it!

Come on, Johnny!

Wait till you're ready.

- You can do anything.

- You can do anything.

Kingston! Kingston!

Kingston! Kingston!

Kingston!

Hey, is he in there?

Last one.

Hey.

You scored a great goal.

Did Dad send you?

No.

You're not supposed

to be in here.

Your team's waiting.

It was supposed to go in.

I put it right there.

I blew it.

''You know what, son?

''You win as a team

and you lose as a team.''

Yeah, screw Dad.

You know what? You're right.

You really sucked out there.

Yeah, I did. Big time.

Come on. Let's go.

Love you.

Come on, Johnny.

Let's roll.

A drunk driver.

He was pulled from the car.

The other boys are banged up.

Where's Johnny?

Which hospital is he in?

Lindsay, Johnny didn't make it.

I'm gonna get my purse.

Lindsay, Johnny didn't make it.

No!

Oh, no!

No! No!

Aah!

What color was the car?

It's the Walker's car.

It's maroon.

How fast was it going?

I don't know.

What if somebody

asks something?

Tell them the truth,

that he died in a car accident.

What if they want details?

There are no details.

He died instantly.

He didn't see it coming.

And dying doesn't hurt.

Was there lots of blood?

No. No more questions, okay?

Hey, Peter, come on in.

Still giving rides to school?

Do we have to go?

Yes. Everybody goes today...

and tonight.

You're taking

your grandpa, okay?

Here, Dad.

The most improved

junior varsity player...

a player who surprised us all

this year with 15 assists...

Neil Nielson.

Come on up here, Neil.

Congratulations.

Thanks, Mr. C.

We're all proud of you, son.

I couldn't let

this evening pass...

without saying a few words

about a boy who is not here.

A boy who was not only...

an extraordinarily

gifted athlete...

but also the best

all-around human being...

I've ever had

the honor of coaching.

Bryan, would you like to come

up here and say a few words?

Thanks.

Um, thanks, Coach.

Um, Johnny

really loved you guys...

and he loved this game.

He loved this place.

More than anything...

he wanted to beat Kingston

and make our town proud.

Never saw that win.

But don't be sad for him.

You know what? Just go out

there next season...

and beat those bastards,

all right?

You can still do it.

It's what he wanted.

You can make it happen...

for Johnny.

I have an announcement.

She got her period.

I know how to beat Kingston

next season.

I'm gonna play

in Johnny's place.

Dad's gonna train me.

We have nine months

before tryouts.

You had to laugh?

Grace, sweetie, I'm sorry.

You wouldn't have laughed

if it was Mike or Danny.

Well, they're boys.

You said at the banquet...

you said, ''Go out there

and beat Kingston.''
