by John R. Tunis ‧ RELEASE DATE: Feb. 17, 1954
**Tops in basketball; tops for Tunis, in a story that has a lot to say about boy nature, the dangers of over-confidence, the tricky emotional qualities of communities, the rugged nature of team play in the making, in the losing, in the winning. No stock story this. A popular winning High School varsity gets kicked out by the coach for breaking training for gambling. The B team pinchhits- and wins through, the hard way, to victory. There's first rate basket-ball -- and boy-girl stuff for the dames.
