Description

Hoops is a graphic novel about a true story of struggle and triumph in Indiana high school sports. In 1975, the Wilkins Regional High School girls' basketball team faces significant challenges as they pursue their dreams of victory.

The Lady Bears practice at night in an elementary school and play to empty bleachers, with no buses or uniforms to speak of. Yet, with the help of a dedicated female coach, they persevere through improbable victories, making their own uniforms out of T-shirts and electrical tape.

Illustrated in full color, this story about women striving for equality in sports rings with honesty, bravery, and heart.
