Basketball is a very simple game. There is a long hard surface called a court (84 feet long by 50 feet wide) and at each end there is a basket - 10 feet off the ground. Teams of 5 players compete with one another to see who will get the ball through the hoop more times before time runs out. This is a simple story of basketball and so much more. How much can one young man impact the lives of others while beating a ball against the pavement of the neighborhood court? Arvie, now in his 80s, recounts memories from childhood and is haunted by the impact of just such a young man from his youth. While certain that God performs miracles all around us, he struggles with understanding why our great God would use this simple crew of scrawny, lightweight misfits to reveil His power and grace. Sit back, enjoy the season and decide for yourself if God has a soft spot for basketball or just these small town kids who love it so much.
