Summary

After being fired from his job as coach in Boise, Idaho, coach Jim White moves his family of four across the country to McFarland California. He works as the life science teacher, PE coach, and assistant football coach. He decides to start a cross-country team, after noticing the keen running skill in most of the students. It also gives insight on the lives of the students and their work as "pickers". It is a wonderful tribute to the original team and their town, McFarland.
