Comeback Kids Wins Hearts, Dreams and Basketball Games on Documentary Showcase

LOS ANGELES - EntSun -- Scientology Network's DOCUMENTARY SHOWCASE, the weekly series providing a platform for Independent filmmakers to air films on important social, cultural and environmental issues, presents Comeback Kids on September 26, 2025.

DOCUMENTARY SHOWCASE airs Fridays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Scientology Network.

Comeback Kids tells the remarkable tale of how the Thomas G. Pullen middle school basketball team captured the heart of a town and became its biggest sensation.

Directed by Jimmy Jenkins, Comeback Kids unfolds in Prince George's County, Maryland—an area known as a hotbed for producing NBA stars. At the center of the story is a coach who does more than run drills. Coach Jay Spinks mentors his students to achieve excellence both on the court and in the classroom, instilling discipline, core values and unwavering integrity. Tested by limits and strengthened by perseverance, Coach Jay Spinks guides the burgeoning young athletes to a back-to-back county championship while demonstrating life lessons for a bright future.
