THE HEART OF THE GAME is a TRUE STORY, a documentary narrated by LUDACRIS that follows the Roosevelt Roughriders girls' basketball team for six seasons. COACH RESLER has a philosophy that disciplined training and healthy aggression will play a key role in turning an average team into champions. But when DARNELLIA RUSSELL, a young African-American from a neighborhood across town, walks on the mostly-white Roosevelt court, both Darnellia and Coach Relser will be changed forever. A phenomenal talent with WNBA potential, Darnellia develops into one of the very best players in the state. In her junior year, Darnellia is faced with a challenge that could put both her basketball and academic future in jeopardy. Both her teammates and her coach must decide whether to support her desire to continue playing, even after she becomes ineligible by the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association, the state's governing sports organization.
