  • Ep10: Any Given Sunday
    2022/08/02

    It’s been a grueling season for AJ’s St. Mary’s squad.  Spirits are low.  Exhaustion has creeped in.  The Regional Competition is around the corner – and the case packet has just dropped. If they win in Houston, they advance to Nationals.  Lose, and they go home. And standing in their way is perennial nemesis, Baylor University.  The odds are low, but when the finals are held on a Sunday, anything can happen.

    2022/07/26

    Adria is a fan of the philosopher Nick Saban, the decorated coach of the Alabama football team.  She and Judge Kern Reese want their team to stay focused, be clear and concise. Tight.  She sends her team to an invitational in Houston to see who is ready for the big time in the spring.  The results are mixed.  Back home in New Orleans, the team rallies and punches their ticket to the Regional Championship.
