A Glow in the Western Sky, Paperback/Gary G. Keltner

During 13 weeks in 1950-51, ten small town Miami high school basketball players, their student manager and their coach, all of immigrant heritages, set the Arizona basketball scene on fire and gained national attention. They set personal and team Arizona and national records during an undefeated season that culminated with their defeat of Phoenix's segregated all-black Carver High, a perennial basketball and sports powerhouse. This is the story of the team's coach and players, the mining area and social environment in which they lived, and contemporaneous state, national and world events that were the backdrop. The records set included Arizona's single game scoring record, broken three times by three different players, and the national single game scoring record.
