Summary: It's 1976 and on Friday nights in Wilkins, Indiana, it seems like everyone in town shows up to cheer on the boys' basketball team. Cars fill the parking lot and fans pack the gymnasium for every home game. Most people don't know it, but Wilkins actually has more than one basketball team. And what the newly formed girls' team lacks in resources they more than make up for with grit and ball skills. But teammates Judi, Cindy, and Lisa aren't satisfied with being treated as an afterthought to the boys. They want equal access to the gym for practices and games, as well as uniforms, transportation to away games, and everything else the boys get. What will it take for the girls' team to be recognised by their community -- winnings games, packing arenas, bringing home a state championship?
Ages 8-12.
