Just the seniors.

- I know.

- Second string, you're in.

Coach Bob Ladouceur

is putting in his juniors.

These young men

have big shoes to fill...

...if they plan on continuing

this undefeated streak.

Tayshon Lanear

missed an easy block...

- ...Chris Ryan pays the price.

- Let's hit out there!

Yo, Tayshon.

If it isn't too much to ask, pick it up.

- Chill, man. I'll get you on the next play.

- Don't get it right, don't get a next one.

Hey, easy, little Lad.

Your pops is the coach, not you.

Hut!

Go Ryan! Bring it in!

- Chris Ryan with another great run.

- Attaboy, Chris!

- Huh,34.

- Yeah.

Four, three, two, one!

De La Salle! De La Salle! De La Salle!

De La Salle pushes their winning streak

to 151 games.

We're number one!

We're number one!

De La Salle's streak

continues.

We're number one!

We're number one!

Streak! Streak! Streak!

Great game, coach.

Half a dozen schools want us

to come for official visits.

- He deserves it, Mr. Kelly.

- Thank you, coach. Great job.

- Hey, T-Gram.

- Great job, Coach Ladouceur.

Hey, this is crazy.

There's my baby.

T- Gram! That's cool.

Get off of me, you big bugger.

- Pops.

- Great job.

- Good stuff. I love you.

- Love you too.

- Hey, coach.

- You're doing it.

You're doing it.

Getting my baby out of Richmond.

- He's a very special young man.

- Thank you.

T- Gram, I'm gonna come see you

every chance I get, right?

I don't want you back

in that Richmond mess.

We coming to see you.

Quitter! Hey.

Hey, boss.

- Morning, coach. Keep the streak alive.

- Morning, Pete. The streak alive, yeah.

Michael, cut it out. All right? Seriously.

You kidding me?

- I'll break that.

- Guys, guys!

Come here! Give me that horn!

Come back here, you little-

Here he is. Good run?

- Hey, Terry.

- Hey, there he is.

Cal State. What do they want?

It's just a coaching offer.

You're throwing it in the trash?

A job offer. We don't get to talk about it?

College coaching. It's not what I do.

But we should at least discuss it, Bob.

- Terry.

- Hey, great pancakes.

Wow, okay.

You, Louis Armstrong, in your room.

Practice.

You, million things to do.

Gotta take the tree down.

I've been up since 5. I'm just like...

Make sure your room is clean,

Michael.

You should at least consider it, Bob.

Great pancakes.

He acts like it doesn't mean anything

to him...

...but he's got a diary,

just counting down the TDs.

- A diary?

- She's a chronic liar.

- A very, very ill young woman.

- Really?

Did I mention delusional?

- You have a diary.

- It's a playbook. At least my earrings...

- ...aren't bigger than my girlfriend's.

- Sure. Okay. That's mean, but true.

Yo, my fellow Spartans.
