Howard Nathan. A. J. Guyton. Sergio McClain. Marcus Griffin. Frank
Williams. Shaun Livingston. This dazzling constellation of talent
helped make Peoria a prep basketball hotbed from the 1980s to the
2000s. Jeff Karzen takes readers inside the lives of the players,
coaches, and others who defined an era that produced six state
titles and four Illinois Mr. Basketball winners. Drawing on dozens
of in-depth interviews, Karzen tells the stories behind the
on-court triumphs while providing a panorama of the entire Peoria
scene--the rivalries and relationships, the families and
friendships, the hopes and hard work. Karzen also follows the
players into their Division 1 and NBA careers and pays special
attention to the pipeline that, by connecting Peoria to
Champaign-Urbana, powered one of the most successful periods in
Fighting Illini basketball history. Intense and intimate,
Playgrounds to the Pros chronicles a basketball golden age in
America's quintessential blue collar town.
