Ralph and Sid were star basketball players who was on the path to a lifetime dream.
However, things didn't go as planned when Star player Sid was broadcasted all over the local news on his denial to play college ball. The reasoning for the rejection according to the news was that Sid's grades did not match their criteria. This was devastating for the residents of charleston because that was the home of Sid and just about everyone knew him. Yet, he doesn't let that stop him today he continues to teach basketball aside for his main occupation.

Producer Kris Bennett, talked with the students enrolled in the communications department about the struggles that came with making this documentary. She mention that the hardest part about shooting was getting the interviewees to say what was needed on camera rather than off camera. "It was really hard for the people to not be so camera shy, they would say what I wanted them to say off camera instead of on camera" Bennett stated. Another struggle was editing, Kris made it very known how long it was to edit the documentary. " Editing took three weeks" Kris says. She also advises anyone who does want to produce anything to plan way ahead of time.
