Tells the story of tiny Milan High and how it won the 1954 Indiana state basketball championship.
"I have always considered it the best sports story ever, in a state blessed by so many." - Bob Hammel. The whole world discovered the 'Milan miracle' when Hollywood based the Gene Hackman movie "Hoosiers" on it. The true Milan miracle is even better, and Greg Guffey tells it here for the first time in a graphic and gripping narrative. We get to know the real Coach Marvin Wood (who did have some opposition in the town, but not of the sort faced by Gene Hackman), the remarkable group of players whose coalescence as a team is as fascinating as anything in sports history, the town, the preceding season, the season itself, the excitement of the tournament, and the lives that the leading participants have led and the impact the game had on them and the town. Bob Hammel, Indiana's premier sports writer, says: "Happy reading, and remembering, and reminiscing".
