The story follows a group of poor 1940s high school boys from Slavic and Armenian backgrounds who rose above bigotry in a small town in Illinois by becoming basketball state champions.
MacLaine would play the role of Sophia Prather, a schoolteacher who watches over her boys with a steely eye, takes no guff and prods the boys into getting out of their broken-down neighborhood gymnasium and onto the high school court.
William Hurt and Kevin Dunn also star.
Dwayne Johnson-Cochran directs the film from Armand Kachigian's script.
Valerie McCaffrey will produce the film.
