March madness

the long version

March Madness grips high schools from Hebron to Collinsville each year as they compete for the Illinois State High School Basketball Championships. This book tells the story of all the tournaments (through 1976) in nearly 400 pages and over 100 photographs. Eddleman, Boudreau, Mills, Buckner and the great teams from all sections of the state who have come to Champaign to compete for school and community, come alive in these pages. Author Jim Enright brings back the great teams, tournaments, and games through the words of the coaches, players, writers, and observers who have covered this March Madness over the decades. Add to the stories and pictures over fifty pages of team and individual statistics and you have the one book that tells it like it was -- and is.
