Förlagets beskrivning
Twin towers. Laos escapees. Farm kids. Coaches' sons. They came together at a little Indiana high school for the 1989-90 basketball season under a charismatic coach and almost pulled off the most coveted honor in Indiana sports: the state championship.Led by 6-10 and 6-9 twins, the team from rural Northfield High School was a group of smart, tightly-knit young men. They may not have been unique, but they possessed a sense of self and unity that shielded them during tough times.Coach Steve McClure and his assistants taught the fundamentals of basketball, the keys to winning, and that the court was like a foxhole in the quest for athletic acclaim.Ray Moscowitz told their story in his thrilling 1990 book, Small School, Giant Dream: A Year of Hoosier High School Hoopla.In this book he weaves together excerpts from Small School, Giant Dream: A Year of Hoosier High School Hoopla to provide context for a peek into how the lives of the players, managers and coaches have unfolded since that still-talked-about season twenty years ago. vertime: Small School, Giant Dream 20 Years Later is not just about basketball, but about life.The players, coaches and managers were, on the surface, ordinary. But as a whole, they were driven to succeed by the special inner drive that propels people to accomplish lofty goals. There have always been teams that have captured the attention of not just a city, region, and state, but a nation. So Northfield wasn't that special in that regard. But Northfield proved again that the ordinary can sometimes be extraordinary.Twenty years later McClure is a cancer survivor and his players and managers have gone on to careers in business, finance, medicine, education, sales, industrial management, computer technology, and agricultural equipment supply/trucking.Here are their stories
