Why is it enjoyable to watch sporting events depicted when we know how the games will end -- how they have to end? Where does the tension come from? Why do we care when we know already?

It never hits a home run. But "Final Season," an adequate movie about an above-average baseball team, isn't a loser, either.
Quad City Times (Davenport, IA)
Remarkably, the movie rights itself once the actual season begins, focusing on game strategy more than the usual heart-stopping pep talks.

Most of the townspeople are archetypes. In fact, you get the feeling the town is populated by character actors and not real people.

Product Description:
David M. Evans's baseball oriented film is set in Norway, Iowa, where the game takes center stage among residents. But when the government steps in and threatens to disband the local high school due to the town's small size, a new coach (Sean Astin) must struggle to create a final season that the town will remember forever.
Description by Sony Pictures Home Entertainment:
From the director of The Sandlot comes the true story of an
underdog coach and the team that must defend their legacy against insurmountable odds.
underdog coach and the team that must defend their legacy against insurmountable odds.
In the small town of Norway, Iowa, the high school baseball team, led by legendary Coach Jim Van Scoyoc (Powers Boothe, TV's "Deadwood"), has won 19 State Championships. But the small town heroes are dealt a series of unexpected blows that threaten to rob them of their 20th championship win. When talk of a school merger gets serious and Coach Scoyoc is fired, then replaced by his 24-year-old assistant, Kent Stock (Sean Astin, Rudy and The Lord of the Rings trilogy), failure seems inevitable.
Tom Arnold, Rachael Leigh Cook and Michael Angarano join an excellent ensemble cast in this inspirational family gem.
