Will be interesting to see this develop over time to the final product. I am but one of many who have and will be contributing to this project. Was there, was involved and do miss the National rankings and the fantastic style of basketball the Coach Shipley & Coach Cox brought to our then small University. ;)
We will. It'll be about a year. We'll screen in theaters and festivals first, but I'll let everyone know ahead of time.
I can't wait!! I wasn't around for that era but it is one of the most intriguing stories that I have read about. There are many people that have no idea about the happenings during that time with the NCAA, university, state, and basketball program...O..
Donny- I hope you guys can truly capture WHAT it was like being in Blackham for the games. I have heard the stories from numerous people my entire life, but just can't fully grasp it.Quote:
