The story
In 1964 Chicago, Leroy "Preach" Jackson and his best friend, Richard "Cochise" Morris, are in the final weeks of their senior year at Cooley Vocational High School in the Near North Side.
When Cochise gets home from Martha's, he gets a letter from Grambling State University informing him that he has received a basketball scholarship.
The boys go to Martha's, where Stone and Robert pull up in a stolen Cadillac Coupe de Ville and convince Preach and Cochise to get in with them.
