Although this article is long, it's very interesting.  It's about a girl's softball team that's finishing last in all rankings, is denied funding by their school even though Title IX requires it, and isn't even encouraged by their school administration or student body.  

But they chant and cheer for eachother with more heart than the author's ever heard before.

It's really quite inspirational.
