description: This is the second edition of Marvin Wood's biography. It was first published in 1991. Marvin Wood coached the Milan Indians to the 1954 Indiana State Championship. This was a remarkable accomplishment on account of the fact that Milan was among the smallest schools in the state while their opponent, Muncie Central, was one of the largest schools in the state. The smaller school prevailed and a this seemed to tickle a lot of folks because they are still talking about it over 50 years later. The story is so compelling that a motion picture, "Hoosiers," was made to celebrate the team... This book, however, is not just about a game. This book is a love story. A love story with all the twists and turns that love stories take. Mary Lou Wood, Marvin's wife, has provided the Afterword to this compelling love. And that, dear reader, is why you should buy it.
