A Must-See Movie: "The Final Season"

[KG Erwin]

I watched this over the weekend, and I was moved by it. Norway HS, located in Iowa, was a baseball power, but in 1991 it ceased to exist, as it was merged with another school. The long-time coach, Jim Van Scyoc, is played by Powers Boothe. His successor for the final season, Kent Stock, is played by Sean Astin. This is a true story, and I highly recommend it. It is a good character study about the struggle to maintain identity in the face of changing times.
