This small school, with around 120 students, sent a team of 10 players to the State Basketball Tournament and took on Louisville Manual, a school of around 1,800. And they did it just like in the movie Hoosiers . . . they slew Goliath, 58-52 to win the state championship.

Cuba was runner up the year before. My mother lived the experience. My aunt was the Cuba prom queen that year. Not much remains. There is however a BBQ restaurant (Southern Red's) in Pilot Oak that was the general store where everyone gathered to listen to the games that remained. One of ball players lived right next door. This same player became the principal of Callaway County HS.

The author rewrote and retitled the book. The Graves County Boys.
