The history of basketball spans more than a century, from its
humble origin as a simple diversion during the harsh winters in
America to today's perennial, rim-rattling show of international
renown. Throughout the last 60 years, Pennsylvania has been at the
forefront of the sport's evolution, supplying the world with a
steady stream of stars, from Wilt Chamberlain to Kobe Bryant, who
have proven to be some of the best to ever play the game.
In "Heads of State: Pennsylvania's Greatest High School
Basketball Players of the Modern Era," sportswriter Mark Hostutler
sizes up the commonwealth to rank its 500 most-accomplished
scholastic players from 1950-2010. With input from Sonny Vaccaro,
Howard Garfinkel, and other hoops cognoscenti, the author canvassed
the Keystone State, conducting hundreds of hours of research and
interviews to assemble a list that is sure to stir passionate
debate within an already buzzing community of roundball fans.
Hostutler's unique compilation highlights the exploits of Billy
Owens, Tom McMillen, Gene Banks, Tyreke Evans, Donyell Marshall,
Jameer Nelson, Geoff Petrie, and several others, as they reminisce
about their achievements as teenagers on the hardwood. Wonderfully
crafted and jam-packed with information, the book is perfect for
hard-core fans, stat junkies, or anyone in search of a good
read.
