All-State is a coming-of-age tale full of hope, tenacity, and the special bond that emerges when a girls' basketball team dares to chase a collective dream.
They are just a group of teenagers living in one of the many small towns in Iowa—the Hoover Knights, a band of girls bound together by the game of basketball. Unlike years past, the Hoover High School players have been longing to take the court together; basketball is their best chance to have some fun in their ordinary town. Along with devoted coaches, the team sticks together through adversity and starts to believe they are capable of more. Forging a bond and pushing the envelope with their fast-paced style of play, the girls awaken a town and generate a passionate following as they become audacious in their pursuit of a dream. Through extraordinary highs and crushing defeats, this is a heartwarming look into the season in the life of a girls’ high school basketball team.
Inspired by true events, All-State captures the essence of unity, the kind that emerges when teammates become family, and the courtside becomes a canvas for dreams to unfold.

Small town Iowa girls basketball coach
This is a book that the basketball lover and dreamer can relate to. The journey, the insight, and the relatability are what makes this story memorable. “State” isn’t out of reach for the Iowa Girl… because anyone can dream. The dream of playing on the big stage in Des Moines, is the dream that connects current and future generations of the “small town Iowa girl.”
