Where are they now? Posted on May 26 2008 at 9:46pm by I was disappointed that the show didn't have an epilogue updating us on the boys whereabouts. I did a little digging and it looks like George IV and others are playing ball at gogebic community college...very near watermeet. Nathan appears to be a student at Northern Mich. Univ... It looks like Brian is a student at Madison Technical College...Madison, WI...perhaps the furthest from home. Does anyone else now where others are? I realize that the show really wasn't about basketball...life in a small frozen town, but I figure all of the adults in the show are still in town. I just feel so proud know these boys have gone on to college! 
RE: Where are they now? Posted on Sep 13 2008 at 1:48am by I too am very interested in the whereabouts of the young men from the team. The documentary was absolutely riveting, highlighting the passions and hardwork of small town America, and their obsession with probably their one sport, basketball.
I commend the director / writers / etc. for this AAAA documentary. Puts the so-called "reality" shows (i.e. The Real World) to shame. Real, Raw, and limited editing. I also commend the Sundance channel for allowing the director "artistic freedom" by providing true insight into the lives of the Watersmeet teenagers as they actually lived, worked and played.
Lastly, I especially like the way the Coach / Principal handled the boys during some of their highest highs and lows of their young lives. He was passionate, straight forward, yet showed the viewers he was human. Watersmeet is lucky to have a guy like this around.
All the best! Go Nimrods!
