Don't put on a show!

Freaking win the game!

Welcome to East Los Angeles College Huskies basketball.

For us at JUCO, we're trying to get to that next level.

I want to be a D1 player so bad.

It's not what you would think. It's not Hollywood, for sure.

If they can go on to someplace else and get a scholarship,

then their world changes significantly.

It's hard as hell here. It's hard.

I'm not looking for just respectable.

I'm trying to win a state championship.

John's been, like, right there,

to winning it all, like, multiple times.

Haven't got over that hump.

You want the best opportunities for those kids.

He prays for me.

If I needed to come to speak with him right now,

he would be there.

I grew up in the hood.

I would feel for 'em, because I can see me.

I was that kid.

Amen.

It's not just X's and O's, man. That's the easy part.

Your kids are dealing with a ton of demons.

I have those moments where I do explode.

I was supposed to be in a position to help my family a long time ago,

and I'm here.

Deshaun lost his mom.

A week after she passed, he played for me.

The toughness that he has, his mom taught him.

I've had people tell me that I'm angry.

Think those things are true?

I think I'm going through the hardest part of my life.

We're winning the state championship.

I'll do anything that it takes to win.

This is my whole reason for being here,

so I can get this championship, move on…

The human highlight continues.
