The storied Mount Vernon (N.Y.) High School basketball program nearly vanished in 2008.
Facing a budget crisis, the school district eliminated its sports funding.  To any other town, the cut would be tragic, but in Mount Vernon, whose history is steeped in basketball culture and tradition, it rallied citizens and fans to raise nearly $1 million, saving all of its teams, including the eight-time state champions. 
What followed was a season of pressure, of agony and of celebration. Hoop Knight is the story of the 2009 Mount Vernon Knights, the season the town saved.
