Everyone loves a rags-to-riches story. That’s the heart of The Sandy Creek Girls, an upcoming film to be shot in Nebraska about a high school girls basketball team that goes from zero to hero, winning eight Nebraska state championships.

And it’s all true.

Just ask real-life Sandy Creek coach Russ Ninemire, who will be a part of the film to be made about his winning teams.

Cylk Cozart will direct the film. Brian Austin Green, Heather Chadwell, Dean Cain, Jonathan Lipnicki, Tiny Lister, Nancy Lieberman and Jim Brown will star. Cozart’s acting roles include White Men Can't Jump, Conspiracy Theory, and In the Line of Fire. He’ll play a lead in The Sandy Creek Girls.

Basketball is one of director Cozart's passions. He is the back-to-back 3-Point Shooting Champion and Team Captain for the NBA Entertainment League and is also Team Captain of the Hollywood Knights Celebrity Basketball Tour.

Shooting is scheduled for this fall in Georgia and Nebraska.
