The true story behind Indiana’s “Milan Miracle”

Greg Guffey chronicles the 1954 Milan Indians’ championship run, the small-town Indiana team whose upset of Muncie Central became known as the “Milan Miracle.” Alongside the games, the book introduces coach Marvin Wood and the high school players at the center of the season. This anniversary edition adds an introduction addressing Indiana’s move to class basketball and the continuing place of Milan’s title in the town’s history. Framed around a real underdog championship, it connects a defining basketball moment with the local culture and legacy that grew around it.

Book overview

"Nothing in basketball beats Hoosier Hysteria, and this true-life Cinderella story of the 1954 Milan Indians has it all--courage, heart, suspense, and triumph. Greg Guffey brings the team and its championship odyssey to life again in this action-packed book. A great read!" --Digger Phelps

With the release of the movie Hoosiers starring Gene Hackman, the whole world discovered the "Milan Miracle." The true story of the Milan miracle is even better, and Greg Guffey tells it here in graphic and gripping detail. Here we get to know the real Coach Marvin Wood and the remarkable group of high school players who defeated mighty Muncie Central. In his new introduction, Guffey talks about the switch to class basketball in Indiana and the legacy of this story for the town and for the legendary team.
