Wildcats: The Story of Miller City's Unbeaten State Championship Team of 1950

by Dave Hanneman

Anyone who has ever been underestimated can relate to the 1949-50 Miller City basketball team. Wildcats takes us on the true-tale journey of how an undersized group of overachieving farm boys shocked the state by winning the Class B Ohio championship during an amazing 29-0 season. Anyone who has ever shot hoops, whether on an inner city blacktop or at a rim nailed to the side of a barn, can imagine what the Wildcats went through that season. One of the smallest schools in the state, they overcame every obstacle off the court and every challenge on it to produce one of the most remarkable seasons in Ohio prep basketball history. Based on a true story, Wildcats looks through the eyes of players and coaches to tell this Cinderella account of an intriguing season.

A good story. The story of how a small school in northwest Ohio with a new coach fresh out of college, became state basketball champions. The state of Ohio's version of the Hoosiers. This is a quick read only 142 pages in paperback.
