American Heartland {read online}
The inspiring true story of the tragic loss and triumphant resurrection of a basketball team and its coach at
the heart of a small Indiana town.By 1977 the University of Evansvilleâ€s Purple Aces basketball team
had won five small-college national championships. With a charismatic young coach and a freshman
phenom, this small Indiana city hoped to see its team shine in the national spotlight. Then, on a foggy night,
after just four games, the plane carrying the team and its coach crashed after takeoff, killing everyone on
board.The tragedy seemed insurmountable, a devastating blow to the identity of a fading factory town. But,
with the support of a city in mourning, ambitious new coach Dick Walters promised to rebuild the cherished
institution. Assembling a team of castoffs, walk-ons, and overachievers, Walters restored the legacy of the
team and its fans. Against all odds, his young men made history.A tribute to those who were lost, and to
those who carried on, We Will Rise is the rich and powerful story of an underdog team and its fans and the
spirit of a resilient community.
