Great Movie/Story

So I just got done watching what in my opinion is the greatest baseball/high school sports movie ever! Its called The Final Season. They're is some fairly big acters in it like, Tom Arnold, the coach from Major League, and Rudy for Rudy. Its about a 1A High School in Iowa who won 20 state titles in 25 years! The school was in Norway,Iowa. The school had all of 100 kids total and a total population of 586 people! The Iowa school board voted to merge the school with a nearby high school, despite the community disagreed. And in their final season(91') the legendary coach was forced to step down in order for the team to play one last final season. With the assistant coach stepping in to be head coach he lead Norway back to state and won back to back titles. I don't know about you guys, it may be because I'm still young, but this was an absolute unbelievable story. I suggest to anybody who is looking for a good sports movie/good lesson movie to watch this! It really relates to me since I played High School ball and even though we aren't a real small town (population 16,000) but its still a smaller town. Anyway we have 2 high schools and our catholic high school(which we'd beat in every sport but we're 3a and they are 1a) just went to state in Baseball and girls basketball. So its kinda cool to see a town of 586 people win 20 titles in 25 years. It also has in the movie they actually beat i think it was the #1 ranked 4a school in thier last home game of the season.

Bottom line its an awesome movie. Anybody else saw or know of this story?
