XO VS GO: A 604 Basketball Rivalry
(Young Adult / Fiction)
Hoop dreams come alive in the 604. Set in the vibrant Pacific Northwest, a group of teenage hoopers with Pan-Pacific backgrounds unite under the mentorship of an inner-city streetballer seeking redemption. Together, they battle to save the local church from the clandestine plans of a ruthless property developer. The basketball-loving misfits draw strength from each other's unique cultural heritage as they face off against their adversaries.
The stakes are high in this epic basketball showdown between Team Crossover (XO) and GOliath Basketball (GO Squad), where the winner takes all. Christian faith and Filipino folklore collide in this modern take on the classic tale of David versus Goliath. With the fate of their church hanging in the balance, they'll need to dig deep and work together to emerge victorious. Will Team Crossover's underdog spirit and belief in the supernatural Agimat be enough to take down the mighty GO Squad?
Logline:
When a streetballer opens a new basketball club in Westside Valley, he sparks a rivalry with the existing club owner, a powerful real estate developer, and must lead his team of misfit teenagers to victory in a high-stakes game that will determine their future.
Story Premise:
The story follows the journey of five 16-year-old teenagers of Asian-Pacific background as they navigate the complexities of identity, community, and faith in Vancouver's basketball scene. When Isaiah Anderson, a streetballer from Eastside, opens Team Crossover, a new basketball club in the Westside, he's met with resistance from Paul Dillon, the owner of GOliath Basketball and a prominent real estate developer. As tensions escalate, the two teams clash on and off the court, culminating in a winner-takes-all game that will decide the fate of Team Crossover and the future of the Westside Holy Cross Parish.
Themes:
The story explores themes of sports, culture, faith, and character growth, set against the backdrop of Vancouver's social issues, including the housing crisis and real estate market schemes. The supernatural element of Christian faith and Filipino folklore adds a layer of drama and mysticism to the narrative.
