As seen on the Today showA work of fiction inspired by a true story, Matt Tavaress debut graphic novel dramatizes the historic struggle for gender equality in high school sports.It is 1975 in Indiana, and the Wilkins Regional High School girls basketball team is in their rookie season. Despite being undefeated, they practice at night in the elementary school and play to empty bleachers. Unlike the boys team, the Lady Bears have no buses to deliver them to away games and no uniforms, much less a laundry service. They make their own uniforms out of T-shirts and electrical tape. And with help from a committed female coach, they push through to improbable victory after improbable victory. Illustrated in full color, this story about the ongoing battle of women striving for equality in sports rings with honesty, bravery, and heart.
