Gary loved to play basketball fromthe first moment his hands toucheda ball and he dribbled up and downhis stairs. He always dreamed ofplaying point guard on the highschool varsity team. Flustered by fights with the town bully, and conflicts with a coach who never gavehim a fair shake, Gary transferred toAshland High for his senior year.Ashland was a sleepy little farmcommunity in Illinois, it was the placewhere he had been born. Gary wasn’t treated like a new kid at all; he was awayward friend who’d finally returned home. Everything began to click with his new coach and teammates.At a time for hot rods, tiny NashRamblers, and long black hearses, Elvis had the top hits on radio and the juke boxes. Magically, all thedreams for the purple and whiteAshland Panthers basketball team began to come true. Point Guard is the story of how it happened way back in 1957.
