“The Miracle Season” (** out of four) was a maudlin sports drama based on the true story of a high-school female volleyball team whose star player (Danika Yarosh) suddenly died in a car accident and how their determined coach (Helen Hunt) inspired them to rally together and persevere towards winning the state volleyball championship. Well-intentioned story of teenage determination, young love, and the difficulties of grief at a young age is too pat and predictable to really score. At least the final championship game is exciting and well-staged. William Hurt has a key role as one of the girl’s fathers.
