The Mighty Macs Page #2

Synopsis: It's 1971. Cathy Rush is a woman ahead of her time, and she's about to embark on an adventure for the ages. A new era is dawning in the country and in collegiate athletics, where a national champion will be crowned for the first time in women's basketball. In the lead up to this historical season, major universities are preparing their game plans to win that first title. Meanwhile a tiny all-women's Catholic college in Philadelphia has a more modest goal: find a coach before the season begins. Providentially, Cathy Rush is about to find Immaculata College. Recently married, Cathy is dealing with the aftermath of a truncated playing career. While cultural norms would have her staying at home, she's willing to do the hard work necessary to help her new team reach their goals-or perhaps she's just trying to achieve her unfulfilled dreams through them.

l, l'll just wait out here.

Oh, excuse me.

What is it?

lt's bitterly cold outside,

Reverend Mother

and l can't find an indoor court.

Excuse me.

Sory.

The old activih center.

Oh, thank you so much,

and all of you, of course.

Thank you for this opportunih, l...

Please. Please.

l wonder if you'd

all excuse me for a minute,

l, l'd like a private word

with Monsignor.

Ah, you can't depend on the trustees

for continued financial support.

Now the board will be

meeting in three months...

so, consider yourself warned.

Mother of God.

Don't take this personally.

This is...

the business side of our church.

But Tom, why can't we use

the insurance money from the gym?

Unfortunately, it will take

an act of God to save this school.

Well, that's exactly

what l've been praying for.

Come in.

Yes?

Reverend Mother

may l speak with yo'u?

Sit down.

How may l be of assistance, Sister?

l'm not sure l can do this anymore.

Admissions is always dimicult,

especially in these changing times.

That's not what l meant.

l'm sory, but,

l'm requesting some time off.

l'm not surprised.

Did you ever struggle

with your calling?

lf we didn't have to struggle,

we could never harvest the gloy.

l'm sory Mother Superior,

l thought my service would be dimerent.

l'll be glad to

reassign you to Chapel,

that should give you plenh

of time to ask for guidance.

Trish Sharkey.

Here.

Lizanne Caufield.

lcei, it's French for here.

Merci, it's French for be

a team player. Ah, what is it?

l think l'm allergic to dust.

You will make a wondemul husband.

Gail Moore.

Here.

Colleen McCann.

Here.

Was that a here, Miss McCann?

Yes.

Short, tall, fast or slow,

it's our voice that makes us one.

Understood?

Yes.

Jen Galidino.

Here.

Who here likes to win?

That is the only reason

you should be here.

Unless, of course, you're tying to

avoid household chores.

lf that's the case, we've already

got mo things in common.

Jen, you know why teams win?

Talent?

lf basketball were only about talent,

it would be played one on one.

You like these girls, Jen?

Yeah, l guess.

Okay. Who here thinks that

Jen's lipstick is a good color for her?

Come on, anybody? Look at her.

Cute girl, olive skin,

beautiful smile...

and street corner lipstick.

Colleen, care to comment?

Trust. Trust is why teams win.

And, if you can't trust your teammate,

to tell you your lipstick is wrong,

you can't trust your teammate's call

at a back door screen.

So, l will ask again...

who here thinks it's a bad color?

Easy to fix. Watch each other's backs.

That's all l'm saying.

Who here knows how to mim?

Great, the wooden pool is open.

lf you want it, fight for it.
