Description
Covid ambushes America just as the 2020 NCAA basketball tournaments are to begin. March Madness, the best event in all sports, is canceled before the first jump shot is taken. The San Joaquin Valley Sequoias, a team posed to make a deep run at the Big Dance, has its dream of glory dashed. Hoops and Seeds tells how one championship women's team from central California navigates The Pause led by a coach who envisions the Gold Ball not as a trophy but as life itself. As Americans die by the tens of thousands and the nation is torn apart by poisonous politics, Coach Molly Rascon invests her entire soul into shepherding her vulnerable ladies through the shadows until The Restart. It is a precarious journey during an unprecedented time.
