March Madness: The Kentucky High School Basketball Tournament

Customer Review: I still drag this out every year in March

One of the very few high points of my high school career was watching the 1978-79 Highlands Bluebirds varsity basketball team play in the state tournament at Rupp Arena in Lexington. A big part of what I enjoyed about it was getting out of school for two days, but I also discovered that I loved the way that Kentucky puts on a basketball tournament. It's impossible not to get caught up in the excitement from the time you enter Rupp Arena and when I saw this book on the shelf in the bookstore at NKU, it all came flooding back to me. At first I would just sit and read the book right in the store when I found myself with a break between classes, but eventually I broke down and bought a copy of my own. It's an excellent book on this comparitively narrow subject, but like I said, it's one I dig out every year around the time the district tournaments start. Mr. Embry, ever consider doing an update?
