In the mid-1970s when the horn sounded for a Delta State University Lady Statesmen’s basketball game, center Luisa “Lucy” Harris could not be stopped.That scene was repeated over and over again as she led her team to three straight college national championships, earning tournament MVP each time. Not only that, when the Olympics finally added women’s basketball in 1976, she scored the first points in competition history, and led the U.S. women to the silver medal at the Montreal games.
“I was so excited to speak to her and told her who I was and asked her if she would be interested in talking to me and talking about her story,” Proudfoot recalls. “And she very simply said, ‘Sure, come on, come on over.’” Their foremost rivals were the Mighty Macs of Immaculata College, a Catholic university in Pennsylvania. The Mighty Macs boasted some ardent supporters, outfitted in black and white, as Harris told the director during their interviews.
“Our composer, Nick Jacobson-Larson, added drumline elements, so that’s a compound between the Vivaldi and the drumline sound that he crafted,” Proudfoot says. “That was a suggestion from Stephanie [Owens], our editor… That’s probably my favorite sequence.”“The ‘divine spirit’ ended up with Lucy,” says Proudfoot. “The glory was with her.”
