Facing The Giants Page #2

Synopsis: An action-packed drama about a Christian high school football coach who uses his undying faith to battle the giants of fear and failure. In six years of coaching, Grant Taylor has never led his Shiloh Eagles to a winning season. After learning that he and his wife Brooke face infertility, Grant discovers that a group of fathers are secretly organizing to have him dismissed as head coach. Devastated by his circumstances, he cries out to God in desperation. When Grant receives a message from an unexpected visitor, he searches for a stronger purpose for his football team. He dares to challenge his players to believe God for the impossible on and off the field. When faced with unbelievable odds, the Eagles must step up to their greatest test of strength and courage. What transpires is a dynamic story of the fight between faith and fear.

- Like what?

- Like my doctor bill.

You saw her today?

- What did she say?

- She said that I'm fine.

My numbers are normal and she saw

nothing that gave her concern.

- That's good.

- It doesn't mean the problem is with you.

- What else could it mean?

- We just may not have given it enough time.

Four years?

Are you still hoping we'll have a baby?

- You know I am.

- Me too.

I catch myself thinking about it

more and more.

Don't you wanna know

if something's preventing it?

Are you afraid of getting checked out?

Yes.

Grant, I'm still clinging to a hope

that one day we'll have children.

I imagine 'em running in this house.

I hear 'em playing in the backyard

or running to our bed in a thunderstorm.

And I think about reading 'em stories

and teaching 'em songs.

And I just keep thinking

how can I miss someone so much

that I have never met?

I'll go.

Stanley.

Stanley.

Stanley, do you wanna tell me

what you're doing on the top of my desk?

No.

Do you have any idea

how you got on top of my desk?

No.

I suggest you get down immediately.

You two can tell Coach Taylor

that you're late for practice today

because you've been

sitting in detention.

Come on. That was some serious humor.

I'll get serious about your humor

when you get serious about your studies.

Well, if you wanna announce your grade

to the entire class, you go right ahead.

So basically we got

the toughest schedule we ever had

and less talent than we ever had.

At least we got Dewey County on Friday

night. That'll be a pretty easy win.

- I'm concerned it might be our only win.

- We'll pull three or four out.

That'll give us another average season.

I'm so sick of average seasons.

- I gotta go.

- Where are you going?

- Got a doctor's appointment.

- For what?

- I have a doctor's appointment.

- For what?

Leave the man alone.

He don't have to tell you.

So what's wrong with you, man?

I'll be back in a couple of hours.

Now look what you did.

You done made him mad.

Me? You're the one that made him mad.

No, not me.

Besides, I know where he's going.

- Where?

- He's going to the hair doctor.

The man is going bald. You hadn't

noticed that underdeveloped region?

You're one to talk, Slick.

See, when a black man goes bald,

he still looks good.

Look at Michael Jordan,

George Foreman, Samuel L. Jackson.

Classy-looking brothers.

Who you got? Kojak?

Yeah, Coach gonna get him some plugs.

- Grant would not get plugs.

- Don't laugh. You next.

Your soccer skills

get better every year, son.

It doesn't matter. Shiloh doesn't have

a soccer team. They play football.

So? Why not kick for the football team?

They've already got a good kicker.
