La cittadina di Huntington rimane molto scossa per l'accaduto fino all'arrivo di un nuovo coach, Jack Lengyel, che con la sua caparbietà riuscirà a risollevare le sorti della squadra, inculcando la voglia di vivere e combattere ai pochi sopravvissuti, portando avanti con onore gli impegni della squadra.
