Although Ian “Wonder Boy” Williams (Donahue Tuitt) was
born legally blind in one eye, he went on to become college basketball’s
“Player of the Year.” Wonder Boy’s dreams of a national championship and
pro career are shattered when an accident causes him to lose sight in
his one good eye and leaves him totally blind. Faced with shattered
dreams, Wonder Boy tries to find purpose in his life. New opportunities
arise when the entire coaching staff at Wonder Boy’s Alma Matter is fired
and he is asked to fill in as coach. All eyes are on Wonder Boy who
becomes the first blind coach in college history.
Wonder
Boy has the tireless support from his mother Lynn Williams (Ellia
English- “The Jaime Foxx Show”), wife Gabrielle Williams (Sonya Shepherd- “The
Lion King,” “Keenan and Kel”) and father Ian Williams, Sr. (Skip
Mullen- “Passions”) that helps him embrace another chance to be a part of the
sport he loves. Can a legally blind coach have the vision to lift a sub
par team and struggling athletic program to national
prominence?
MATCHUPS is a moving and touching story that shows Wonder Boy
that there is life after unexpected tragedies. Every person has a
dream, a childhood dream. What happens when dreams die? New dreams are
born.
