The basketball team is thrown into chaos when new transfer Julie Connor tries out for the boys' varsity basketball team, prompting resentment from Team Captain Chris Atwater and jealousy from Head Cheerleaner Mary Beth. Meanwhile Coach Bill Fuller adjusts to his new job, and his new team manager, the enthusiastic Samantha. Danny, Earl and Michael are also introduced.

Mary Beth goes ballistic when she begins to suspect (incorrectly) that Chris and Julie have feelings for each other, leading to a fight between Chris and Mary Beth. Meanwhile, Danny tries to tell Julie that he likes her, but fails everytime.

Danny's parents are out of town so he stays with Coach Fuller... Unfortunately for Coach Fuller, Danny ends up inviting nearly the whole school over!
