Hoops In The Heart - Jackie Stiles in Kansas

"Every small town has its legends-but few shine as brightly as Jackie Stiles and the Little River Redskins. This book tells the parallel story of two basketball dynasties: Jackie's rise from Kansas courts to record-breaking NCAA stardom, and the Little River girls' team, whose 91-game winning streak captivated the state. Each season, Jackie's team faced off against the Redskins in epic battles for the state championship-a clash of talent, willpower, and community pride. These games weren't just competitions; they were defining moments that shaped Jackie's relentless spirit and the legacy of Kansas high school basketball. Through vivid storytelling, this book takes you courtside to witness the triumphs, heartbreaks, and raw determination of a young athlete destined for greatness. Whether you love women's basketball, small-town sports rivalries, or inspiring underdog stories, this is a journey you'll never forget."Includes hundreds of quotes from teammates, opponents, coaches and spectators, with background commentary from the snarky voice of the Winning Streak itself!
