STATE is inspired by true
events however the story
portrays fictious characters
that represent the lives of
Coaches Jimmy Itturalde and Ed
Aycock.
STATE
Synopsis
Charlie Babin is a 44 year-old
former marine who is the
defensive coordinator for the
two time state championship
football team. He is happily
married to his longtime
sweetheart, Maria Babin and they
have an athletic and handsome
son, Austin 17. Charlie’s dad,
Robert, died of Cancer when
Charlie was 17 years old. Even
though Charlie is a hard-nosed
football coach his athletes love
him. Charlie’s best friend is
his often comical high school
classmate, Brian Thibedaux who
also coaches football at the
school.
Everything was going great until
Charlie and Brian get the news
that they’re assigned to be the
girls’ fast pitch softball
coaches for one season. The
former softball coaches left for
better jobs just days before the
season was to begin. Brian was
skeptical about this new
assignment but Charlie didn’t
think coaching girls would be
that big of a deal. A lot of
resistance came from the dads
who wanted to be in control of
the team and didn’t want to take
a chance on two football coaches
messing up their daughters’
season, especially with some of
the them possibly getting
college scholarship.
Charlie and Brian discover that
the strategies for coaching boys
in football don’t exactly work
with coaching girls but then
again some of them do. Through
the wisdom of his mother,
Charlie discovers that he has to
change his approach with
coaching girls. After a
turbulent start to the season,
the girls begin to respond to
Charlie’s new style of coaching.
Charlie seems to be back in
control until he discovers that
he has the same type of terminal
Cancer that his dad had.
Everyone is devastated
especially Austin who is the
same age as his dad when he had
to face the same tragic news.
Charlie’s true motivation to
coach girls is revealed as he
leads his team to the state
championship game while he
prepares his son to be without a
father and his players without a
coach.
